Pictures of all the boys
Here are some pictures of all the boys, including some of my human ones too. Everyone is doing well. The little twins are already sold and are leaving as soon as I will let them. The new family wants to bottle feed them asap so as soon as I can stand it I will let them go. I also have one more mama to go, lets hope I get as least one girl since I am trying to increase my heard here. Boys are cute and all but 5 out of 5, come on? Anyway, I wanted to say that "Floppy" is doing great thanks to all your help. He has one back leg that likes to flop backwards sometimes still but for the most part he is keeping up with his brothers.

I don't know why it's 2003. I don't know how to adjust the camera date any better than I know how to post pictures. I will try to get some pictures of the girls born this morning and let's see if I can adjust the time. I have a degree in Wedding design, nothing too technical for me.

Here's pictures of the girls born this morning. The two together are the new girls. The three sleeping together are the triplet boys born Monday morning and the white one nursing is one of the ND boy twins born yesterday morning. The ND baby is pure white with blue eyes. I love his color and sweetness. The white with black stripe is the other ND twin. I am so happy to have finally gotten does. I want to increase our herd and these twins are perfect. They are finally able to nurse it just took about 2 hours for them to realize how to do it. The teats are bigger than they expected I think is all. We're done kidding for the time being. Now I get to enjoy the babies a little. Thanks everyone for all the help kidding and just being new to everything. I am sure I will have lots of questions but not such frantic ones I hope!

Nice looking family, the human one too! hahahaha! and finally some girls, last year I had all boys & this year all girls (just gor a boy 3 days ago though). Done for this year too, sure is nice. You'll love having those babies & hate to get rid of any of them. It sure is hard sometimes letting them go.

You sure there's no pygmy in your ND's? That second 'striped' ND kid has the typical Caramel pattern of pygmy goats. That color pattern is pretty much an identifying sign of pygmy influence.

Either way, they're cute, love 'em! Glad to hear you got some girls!

Which one are you talking about? I don't actually know for sure what anything is so your opinion is appreciated. I just know what the man we got them from said but to tell you the truth, I was "learning" so much at the time, I don't really remember everything that was said. I paid attention to when they were wormed and vaccinated and about babies. Little of what else was said got through. I think my last mama has mastitis. She is getting pretty engorged in between feedings. The babies (twin girls) seem content and active so they must be getting enough to eat. I don't think she is in pain or anything as of yet. I will try to get a picture of her teats this afternoon for everyone to see. I would like to know what you think of her as a specimen anyway. I don't really think she is friendly and she is not warming up to us. Anyway, busy morning worming her and planning graduation parties. I have a senior this year and I am so busy that I'm wondering why I though this was the time to get goats?
