new nubian babies, first pics..
I simply HATE trying to take new kid pics. Either they are still all *crumbled up & looking odd* or they won't stand still.... took a set of twin bucks (born a few days ago) out front for first pics...sat them down & off they ran.. here are a few of examples of the shots we got while attempting to get a simple standing pose from each side LOL...After half an hour we ended up with a couple *keeper* pics of the bucks..not even going to try the new set of twins (buck/spotted doe) until tomorrow.
bonging down the sidewalk
Orbs trying to chew his brother *steve's* ear off LOL
finally... standing still.. Ages Ago Acres I-C-Orbs

yes, I'll be keeping him as a buck (he's not the most correct buckling, but he's nice enough - for what I'm keeping him for) He also comes from a line that is heavy, heavy with spots & milk (both of which.. spots & milk.. are my big sellers) I can never keep up with the demand for spotted kids - add in a decent udder & a goodly amount of milk- it's a win win situation. I rarely keep spotted kids for myself (I actually love nice solid brown nubians that are easy on the eyes & can still fill a milk pail) BUT.. it's the spots that sell and cover the feed bill for all those brown plain janes LOL. .. I have a couple spotted bucks & several spotted does that keep us seeing spots LOL... I don't NEED another buck, but this little guy is one of the last babies I'll ever get out of my herdsire Morrie (nice, BROWN Crownhill line buck that I lost back in July) ... I just couldn't resist keeping him.

Nubian babies are just so cute! Love the spots myself, I would not be able to resist keeping him either.

They are both beautiful. I love plain Jane brown Nubians too Never let anyone tell you that Boers are anything like a Nubian. It just ain't true!
Congratulations on some great pics (I love the flying through the air shot) and some great kids.

Are they standing still because they are piddling? That is the only way I can get a nice side shot of a buckling. That "pose" is very manly even though they are just relieving themselves. LOL By the way, Nice babies!!!! Love all the spots. Thats the one thing I don't get with my ND's. You are sooo lucky.

"pee-age" is how I usually end up with my best boy pictures, but Orbs was not peeing in either of the still pics. Just chasing his brother around the yard. I'm happy to report Orb is also not nearly as rounded on his rear. He's level out thankfully and is looking better every day. More spots are also becoming noticeable. Thanks for all the compliments everyone..
it's been a long couple of days here. (baby watch) FINALLY one of the two does I've been staring at kidded around 4am.. QUADS!!!! (2 little boys & 2 little girls) have spent the day getting them to poop and nurse.. but everyone is strong and doing well. Stella (big black with LONGGGGG silver ears) is going to simply explode if she doesn't go soon. (she lost her plug a few days ago. Ligaments totally gone now, udder filling up... we keep watching, she keeps eating LOL Don't think she's raised her head out of the hayfeeder in the last 24 hours. She was awake last night while Shaleen was kidding.. (everyone else was sleeping) but Stella was chewing away..
