Last Baby till June

Last Baby till June - Goats

He was born yesterday afternoon about 1:20. It's a bummer it was a single buckling but he's awfully cute & already trying to climb the steps to their wooden spool.

That makes 4 doelings & 3 bucklings this spring. I wish there would have been more girls & less boys but I'm awfully glad they are all healthy & doing well. Two of the momma's are FF & everyone is being such good momma's.
At least I get get a real WHOLE nights sleep now!

Maybe my doe due in June will have all girls!!

How sweet! I am happy for you Katie..you had more girls than boys! That is good! Now I think you should line up all the babies and get a group shot of them

Heck, that's going to be a job! Today was so nice out for a change & I was having trouble getting a good shot of 1 or 2 babies at a time. They hardly stopped for a second today.

Their all crashed out in the barn now! I think they wore themselves out today! So fun to watch them jumping & playing with each other, I could spend all day with them.

Congratulations! On both the adorable little buckling and healthy momma, as well as being able to sleep now

7 babies this spring to 4 different does' & not a one of the babies looks like any of the others, all so different this year. Some are flashier than others but all of them are sweeties already! Got my heart set on one of the boys as a wether but haven't broke that to Dh yet!
