New babies :)
Hi all,

Well I found my little Saanen Doeling! Plus... a little Alpine/Saanen girl an a beautiful unrelated buckling
I am very happy. They are all grade but that is fine with me. I was very impressed with Tricia's ( the breeder) set up.

I got to see mom's and grand moms udders as well as sires and uncles. The babies are big and healthy--still on replacer twice a day but taking it from the pale now and eating hay and grain. They were all born in late December so they're nicely started.

We love them
Now my PG nubian girl will have more company and my little Mini Filly more playmates

I know I know!
Shame on me But its sunny today so I hope to get some good ones today

I'm curious, what minerals do you all use for your kids?
I have hay out for them all the time and I offer FRESH warm water plus a little grain first before I offer them their milk pail. THey all do drink water well and are nibbling at the grain. All seem to love the hay. I just want to be sure they are getting what they need to grow as well as they can.

Thanks all Pics are coming I promise.

I offer kids the same loose minerals I put out for the adult does. I use the loose Manna pro goat minerals. I have heard that the Right Now Onyx minerals work really well but I can't find them around here.
