Smile New Baby
I'm new here, and I have a new Nubian doeling. I currently have 2 milking does, 2 bred does, and a buck, and this new one born Dec 22.

New Baby - Goats
New Baby - Goats

This little one is currently living in my bathroom and being bottlefed, as I am milking her mother. She has potty trained herself to use old towels or an old mattress pad that I put down for her to sleep on. She sleeps on the floor and urinates on the cloth. She is very sweet and will be kept to join my dairy herd

She is just precious! Now I want a goatbaby in my bathroom, too

Although I have to admit, DH put a leash on Tango this morning and brought him into the mudroom to say good morning to me. It was a nice way to wake up

Thank goodness I have a wonderful hubbie!!!!!!!!! the other day we were driving along and he tells me to clean out the spare bedroom that we use for storage and it can become a nursery he will lay down linoluem and I can keep babies in there if needed. I almost smacked him for playing with my feeling like that but he said yes really you can and I will help you I am still in shock over it.

My son wanted to name her Suprise. So her registered name will be Tucker's Christmas Suprise. I'm thinking about turning half of my laundry room into a nursery - it's big enough to be a large bedroom, and has a linoleum floor.

She's a beauty for sure! The white tuft on the top of the head & brown body makes me think of a Hostess cupcake. The kind with the white stuff in the middle! Maybe I'm just hungry, hahaha!
