They are adorable! It's almost like they have opposite Black & white markings, like where the buckling has Black the doeling has white, etc. Cute Cute!!


Minelson, that Betty does look like your Gretta in the pictures.

I goofed - when I checked them at birth, I thought they both had brown eyes. But, the doeling has blue eyes!!!!

Those babies are so cute! I can't wait until ours are old enough to have babies.
This is our newest goat Waddles, he is a 7 week old Saanen.

I didn't weigh them (I rarely do) but they were good and sturdy at birth, and up and bouncing around very quickly. I've had tinier ND kids. On day 2, the doeling was eyeing mom's back and thinking of trying to jump up there!

pookshollow--- those are some cute little babies!! Any names yet??? I love the almost heart on the buck! Betty looks great for having just given birth.

Rebel Lemming--- all of your goats are adorable!! Is that an old trampoline Cinnamon and Pepper are laying on?! Very good idea!

Thanks to both of you for sharing such adorable pics!!!

Right now the buckling is Rudy (Valentino or Nureyev - take your pic ). The doeling will be registered as Half Caper ----- Right now, I'm wavering between Flowers of Edinburgh, Cotillion or Rufty Tufty - all names of Morris Dances which is my naming/farm theme.
