here are the other 2 pics  this is the buckling #2  this is #3 a little doeling and Patty's favorite, actually the buckling is her fav but she cant keep him, so she wants #3. She is seeing the light, I think. She says my doe is a really good mama. I always bottle fed my babies, but didn't want to put Patty through more work. I love my Blackberry, you couldn't get me to sell her for a million bucks(no pun intended). Thanks Patty for everything.

I forgot to mention that even with nursing triplets, Patty's daughter still has to milk her out. Now thats a nice little doe, don't you think. She's the one I milked for 15 months and I dried her off. And what a sweetie.

Thanks guys, I just love them. Daddy is a black/tan with a splash of white on his side. He is such a sweet boy, so gentle and quiet with people and a gentleman with the ladies.

Just so you know, sometimes when two does and a buck, sometimes one of the does is sterile. Something with if the buck and doe share a side the hormones get messed up. Hope it's not so for you. Really cute kids.

Where did you hear that? It is very very rare in goats. In cows it is common, not goats.
Adorable kids!

I'm pretty sure that there is nothing cuter than baby goatlings! These little sweeties prove my point 
Congrats!

Those little goats are just adorable. I don't blame you for loving Blackberry. She looks so sweet.

Lynne, everyone of those babies are just precious! It would be really hard to decide is a favorite & which one to keep, I know I'm there too trying to decide which ones to keep & hope which one's don't sell! hahaha! Congratulations!! I think my favorite is the little buckling too as far as markings go.

Not the case at all with goats. With calves, yes, it's very common.

Thanks again guys and unfortunately whichever ones Patty doesn't want are for sale. Hey Wags, is it the coloring or combo you wanted? Vicki-- My family always d Blackberry because she seems standoffish and they said she looks evil because she is solid black. She is my favorite and I just love her to .
