Kids! Finally born!

[xoxoGOATSxoxo]

Yukiko kidded at about 3:00 am today, 3 days late. she had two beautiful, healthy and HUGE bucks without assistance. I'm gratefull for the healthy babies, but c'mon, 2 bucks? This doe has had 2 sets of trips and 1 set of quads, 4 girls and 3 boys. She's never had twins, not even her first year. Oh well. But these boys are really, really big! I shouldnt have sold Heather, who kidded 2 weeks ago at the buyers house with trips, 2 does and a buck. lol The irony!

Heres some pics. They're a couple of little angels! Have any ideas for names? I kinda like David and Gabriel, but I have to see if those names fit them.



Look how BIG they are!

And heres a few more





Aww! Little angels! I had to put them under a heat lamp for a while, they were shivering a bit. It was pretty frostly last night, but its sposed to get into the low 40's today.

Oh, ones polled, ones not.

There adorable congratulations

[Chinook]

Very cute. They look like mine. My Saanen cross did the same thing yours did, had two little twin boys.

They are adorable! I know what you mean about bucklings, I had two sets of twins born last week and all four are bucklings. Oh well.....I wasn't going to keep any of them anyway, three large goats is about all I can house around here. I just figured the does would sell easier.

Such sweet big boys!

[CountryHaven]

aw they are precious. I love the name Gabriel. David's nice too, but how about Michael? The two archangels. LOL

[xoxoGOATSxoxo]

I weighed them a few hours ago, and they are 11 LBS EACH!!! 11 lbs!!! wow! Gabe is exactly 11lb, and his unamed brother is 11lb and 4 ounces. HUGE!!!

I do love the name Michael, but I have 2 cousins and an uncle named Michael (my family's no good with names!) who I see alot, so it would be more confusing than it already is! Plus, there's Michael Corleone; I am a big Godfather fan, and Sicilian too! But I dont think I'm gonna go with Michael.

I was considering Eli, Keanu, Antonio, Nigel, Carl, Kyle, Sean, Charlie, Seth, Zeth, Caleb, Oliver, Gunther, Calvin, and Simon.

I'd really like them to have a sister! I was saving the name Mariucci for this year! Oh well, next year, I guess.

Hee Hee, my sister wanted to name him Jamal, spelled "Jah'mol". I dont think he's really a "Jah'mol", or a Jamal, for that matter.

I've decided that the best thing for twin boys (especially big, strong ones!) would be to be wethered, trained to pack or pull a cart, and sold to a loving family. But I dont think that'll happen, sighhh. I'm gonna be looking around, though. Yukiko is my only doe freshening this year, so my tiny kidding season is officially over. I miss my other does, who I sold the other year. Then it would have been lots of kids.

Congrats! on the nice looking little boys! I like Gunther or Oliver, and Gilbert, Grady, Amos or General.
Looking forward to warmer weather in my neck of Michigan too!
