Had my camera in the pasture today
I was outside taking pictures of new ducklings anyways, so I took it out for new goat pictures. It's been a while since I've posted pictures. Sorry about the black dot in the lower left of most pictures - something's wrong with the camera.
Daisy, my old 8 YO doe. She's due 6/1-6/3. She wasn't bred to kid last year, but the 4 years before that she gave me twins, quads, twins, quads... I'm thinking she'll give me quads. I'm hoping for a buckling, because my herdsire that sired her kids died right after the breeding season.
Cadee, 5 YO doe. Second pic shows her belly - she's due 5/25. Daisy's '05 doeling.
Giselle - runt of quads, out of daisy 2006. She's due 6/8
Boston stuffing her face. She's due one of three different duedates, to two separate bucks - 5/25, 6/11, and 6/15. Thankfully, the first buck that bred her was on 5/25, the other two were by a different buck. With a 2 week gap between different bucks, I'll be able to know who sired who.

Boston's belly looks likme it might touch the ground. Beautiful goats, nice and stocky and a beautiful green pasture.

Its fun to watch, because both Cadee and Boston love it when the kids jump on them; they stand really still and just roll their neck in pleasure as the kids dance around on 'em.

Great pics! Love all those li'l goaties, and the goat-back ride looks like fun. I have one old doe, and her kids used to love to jump up on her back. So funny!
