This pic just melts my heart <3
I know many of you have probably seen it on my blog or FB farm page (it's also my avatar), but I just love this photo. It's my granddaughter, then 2.5, meeting Dora's triplets for the first time last year.

Can you tell I'm getting "kid fever" in a bad way? LOL

Yup, I think it is a survival thing, they come out as cute and sweet as possible so they are not sold or eaten

My daughter would have an entire herd of wethers if I let her! When she was younger she named them and taught them tricks so I would let them stay. Didn't work lol.

Doesn't that make you sick? I had two of the most gorgeously marked bucklings last spring and one plain white doeling with a white twin buckling.
Precious picture.

wonderful picture...can't wait until Zade is big enough to really get down and enjoy the goat kids ( first gtandbaby...he lives here on the farm) he is 7 months old today.. he goes out (in a bofa wrap) and rides along as his momma does chores...love the idea of him growing up here on the farm, among the critters.


susie, mo ozarks

Ha! My sister now has a herd of Nigies - all wethers. My mother raises Nigies, and my sister fell in love with the gorgeous male babies, so now she has 2 from 2 years ago, and 2 from last year... She'll probably take another 2 this year. *lol* Those males... They are always so pretty!
