new babies

Wish they were ours but they aren't. Just got off the phone with mom and her (well my 12 year old nephews) nubian had triplets. A buck and doe but the 3rd one I can't remember what it was. Unfortunately the third one was born dead. Not sure what happened and when we bought her she wad already bred a 2 months. So not sure what her care was at in the start. Only what was told to us. I will post pictures as soon as I get some. I know my nephew will be tickled pink.

Just got off the phone with my nephew. He's so happy and has already named them. Rose for the doe and axel for the buck. I think he's had these names picked for awhile. Lol

Congrats. Of course we'd just LOVE to see pics. Little Nubians are so cute with the floppy ears too! I'll bet your nephew is over the moon, and I actually like the names! Terrific project for the right kid at the right name. What are his plans with them?

I don't know what his plans are yet. When we were all together for Easter all four nephews got to pick a goat. We just bought her the day before and he jumped on that goat. Named her Pandora and was loving on her before we could finish telling them what we had planned. My youngest one didn't want a goat he said he had his donkey lol. We all figured this way they can learn young. what its like. So far the 3 oldest want to have a goat farm when they get older.

Congrats! When I was his exact age I, too, had a Nubian named Pandora. He's a great namer, lol!
