Oooohh, pretty! That doeling is just GORGEOUS!
Those bucks are nice looking too! Although I have to ask: Went kinda heavy on the weenies, didn't you?
And is the doeling already bred? If not, you might want to get them into separate pens super soon! Might want to consider castrating one of those buckling as a companion for her...unless you WANT her bred real soon.

I guess tomorrow I shuffle pens. Put the pigs in the middle and separate the doeling from the two older/bigger bucks. I will put the littlest buckling in with her and get him castrated asap.

~smiles~ Thinking smart! How old is she? ~chuckles~ I have an "accidental breeding" here who got herself knocked up somewhere between 3 and 4 months old, out of season even! Silly goat! No one explained to her that she wasn't supposed to go into heat until FALL.

They are all very cute little goats. I also like the mini's & have mini nubians.
You'll have to get a couple more does' so the boys have more of a selection come breeding time. A wether in with the doeling is a great idea & the wethers are always so lovable & friendly.

Yeah was thinking wow a little buck heavy but at least your girl will have a choice on which handsome boy she wants :P
Your hard choice I think is going to be choosing which one looses the bucky jewels...
oh heck you need to get more girl goats, you know you want too .......

Of course! You can't by any means stop with only four! You're going to need to try a laMancha, than a mini LaMancha, than your going to need a few saanes, maybe a nubian or two, that alpine with awesome lines, and why not throw a few meat goats in the mix while you're at it....

I have a twin to your little doeling. Yours is beautiful and your bucks are gorgeous. I am not sure which I would choose to casterate.
Like Caliann, I think my little doeling may be preggers also. Move her as quick as you can.

Today we separated the nigerian dwarf and the larger mini nubian bucklings from the doeling and the small buckling. I found out after I posted last night she is almost 5 months and the small buckling is 7 months.He becomes a wether tomorrow. The doe and soon to be wether are in the large pen. Lots of room for more does. Nubian does or Oberhasli's does probably both.

She is a dolly! What a great find. Your new guys are very handsome too. I love your pigs buried in their wallows. Too cute.

I had a still nursing 3.5 month old buckling knock up his mother, grandmother, two aunts, older sister and twin sister. It may be too late already.
