Nope...I live vicariously through all of you! Since I now have potential Johnes disease on the property all future goat additions are on hold.

I am waiting on July, Sand Dollar, and GHERKIN to kid. We have had 31 kids born since 12/29/12. Eighteen does and 13 bucklings. Two doe kids were stillborn. Lost one buckling to something really strange (degenerative, haven't figured it out, hmmm). So we stand at 16 does and 12 bucks.

I am telling you this, Min, because (#1) you asked and you are my friend and you KNOW how busy I am and that I will have to gather pictures of the newest additions.

I will send you a list of my girls that are due March....

Love all the pictures! I can't believe Gray-C looks almost as big as her momma already & Pony with that BIG ol mouth full of hay as if he's worried there won't be any left for him later!
You have a perfect animal family!

The mini donks are supposed to be hubby's We got Mama-D in the fall of 2011 and she was pregnant. She had her baby Aug 19th...we named her Gray-C They are a blast and fit right in with the family Mama-D is mello and slow. Gray-C is a spitfire!

Looks nice! If you're bored, maybe carry a handful of raisins in your pocket?

I have 2 due April 7th. Twice my iCalendar ate the dates. Luckily this year I'm not working so baby watch will be much easier. Hopefully I don't forget the use dates between now and April.
