Im getting a bred goat!

Well you know how it is... can't just have goat kids! now I want a big goat! I found a nice Nubian/Alpine bred goat for sale and I am going to pick her up on Monday! I wish I could get two of them but with me already buying the baby kids I know hubby wont let me get more than one! Shes due in a month and she looks like she certainly be carrying triplets! She has a real nice udder and teats too. I can't wait to play the waiting game for kids She has been hand milked and ooh now I gotta quickly get a milking stand built!

Molly that kidded yesterday is a alpine/nubian mix, and her milk is WONDERFUL! cant wait to milk her again, she was huge, and had the twins. Thier daddy is a nigerian/pygmy. We have her baby from last year Molly was bred back to her dad and we got Reeses, now reeses is pregnant and I am excited to see how she does. Congratulations!
