New Babies This Morning
This morning my Snubian doe Rosie had a sweet surprise waiting for me in her goat house, twin does. She was cleaning them off and they were still a bit damp when my husband snapped this picture. Now I have to think up names for them...

This is little Angelica, born about a week ago. Her mom is a boer/sanaan cross and her dad is my little sable buck.

This is her mom Nellie, looking very silly...

What cute pictures, Nellie's really gave me a good laugh, so funny and Angelica looks like a little angel. She almost looks like a little puppy in that picture.

the babies have names now. dh didn't get a good look at the plumbing. they are buck and doe twins, instead of twin does but that's ok cause they are really sweet. the little buck is going to end up a wether unless someone needs a 3/4 sanaan 1/4 nubian buck, let me know. their names are castor and polix, polix is the little doe and we're calling her polly...

GoatGoddess where do you live? I could use a buck that has more Saanen in it. I have a Nubian Alpine so some Saanen would be nice.
