How they do grow.....

So anyone else have then and now pics of their boys to share?? I have too many then and now pics of does to even post, but I only have a few bucks that I raised from babies myself so here goes.

I was going through my pics today and started laughing at the change in my three young boys. Here is what they looked like two years ago:

CAMARO:

ERIC:

Here they are today:

ERIC:

Well.......they used to be small and cute..... I do so enjoy the bucks.

Nice looking boys! I'm so amazed by how they grow and change in just a few weeks. Two years is just mind blowing...

Jacob (Nubian) was our very first buck and bottle baby. Here he is at 2 months on the day we brought him home.

And here he is today at 5 1/2 years old.

Jumping Jack (Kinder) was name because for the first 2 weeks he never would walk anywhere. He always leaped, pranced or jumped his way around. Here he is at about 2 days old.

How they do grow..... - Goats

And here he is today at age 3 years, totally laid back.

We also have a wether pet, I know you said bucks, but boys grow so much! Here is Buddy at 2 days old, he's a Sannen/Boer/Nubian mutt.

And here he is again today at 4 years old.

He looks so massive, but he's such a Doll!

Great pics people.....the wethers too!! Little Buddy complained at me today because I didn't include his pictures(he was my first bottle buckling and is going on 8 years old now). So I'll have to get a pic of him tomorrow.

Y'all have some nice looking boys!

Here's my whether as a baby, in May 2009. He thought he was big stuff.

And here he is as a fluffy grown up, in January of this year. I don't know why they wanted in that house when they had a nice - and surely much warmer - wooden one next to it!

That's also him on the right in my signature. He was my first baby.

I actually bought it from someone who had it for sale in their yard! It was perfect timing, too, because we had just built a new fence away from my barn, and I needed a shelter for them until we could build them a bigger one. I bet if you looked around yard sales you might find something similar.

Thanks!
