Pics of my herd today (pic heavy)

I received my Replamin today so I went out to give them some and had my daughter come along to take pics. I wanted to try to get some before pics and also wanted to show everyone my goats. Only one goat was kinda hard to give it to. Please excuse the mess. It's time to clean the pen again. And behind their pen is my dad's junkyard.

I look forward to the day that I can get my own land, even if my house is tiny, I want my animals to have more room. As it is, the goats get let out every day and led to the woods to browse. They enjoy that but it sure did get sparse with the drought. I am so happy that it started raining again.

Mabel got her medicine first. (That is what is on her bottom lip) and I was in the process of giving Sonya her medicine.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Medicine all done so thought I would try posing the kids for pics. This is Beth with Zack (left) and Zephyr (right) watchingPics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Beth is done posing. Beth an Ozark Jewels Nubian doeling. She was the lowest on the pecking order until recently.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Zephyr's turn. Now everyone wants to see what I am doing. Chuck and Lambie come for a closer look. Zephyr is an Ozark Jewels LaMancha doeling.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Henry, our GP LGD puppy couldn't wait for some lovings and butted in on Zepher's posing time. Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Chuck's turn. He is an Ozark Jewels LaMancha wether with wattles. Zack is peeking around the corner and Henry still wants to be petted.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Zach's turn. He is a wether and his mom is Mabel. He is half LaMancha so he has no ears but he is also half fainting goat. He was our first goat born here.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats


George, my new LaMancha buck to replace my really good buck that died. I hope to get a better buck than George next year. And Sonya in the background.Pics of my herd today (pic heavy) - Goats

Nice pictures of all your goats Aimee & always nice to be able to put a face with the name here, I'm guessing that's you in the pictures anyways?

I'll be anxious to see the after pictures later on. Reminds me I still need to get good before pictures too & now tomorrow will be their 2nd dose of Replamin already.

Got my Replamin yesterday. I can't wait to use it. Pretty goats! And dogs. I'm like Pretty Paisley, I like looking at my LGDs but not so much into the petting and sobbering.

Really nice goats. I love the Pyrenees too. I have just one male now, looking for a female to add to the ground.
Where in Illinois are you? I am in Southern.
I started my Replamin last Saturday. I am hoping to see a difference by the end of September. The girls loved it, but it is a pain when you don't have the special gun. I was green all over my hands. LOL

I love all of your critters. They're all so pretty. I should have taken pictures pre-Replamin like you did. I THINK I'm seeing a bit of an improvement.

I know I didn't do before's either. SOOOOO you got Beth, I had been seriously thinking about getting -it was either her or another that looked a lot like her that Em had posted, but I took to long to decide.
Your Sonya makes me miss my Sugar Saanen ...
