Last of my does due for 2013

Actually it's Eric's doe because he wanted the Boers. She is due March 19th and I am thinking twins. We sat long and hard and did tons of talking we are going to sell Pepsi after she kids. I might and thats a HUGE might keep the 1st doe (if she has one) since I lost Tator but I honestly do not even know if I want to do that.

How many do you all think she will have?

Also added photos of Monkey and BooBoo. That bond will NEVER be broken between them two. And the pile of babies because its against the law to not show them. Okay well maybe not against the law but it should be lol.

You just made me tear up a bit. You have no idea how much that means coming from you. After the last month we have had here I honestly thought about throwing in the towel more then once. I always feel like I am not doing enough for them due to the lack of funds we have. So for you (being one of the best pet owners I know) say I am a great goat mom... Thank you!!!

Beautiful babies! Love the pics of Monkey and Booboo. As far as the doe...I'm thinking twins and she will have them whenever she gets around to it.

Great pictures Donna & I'm guessing pepsi will have twins too!
You know we all go through up's & downs especially when owning goats or any kind of livestock and funds come & go so hang in there. We all know you take very good care of your animals!

Oh my goodness those babies are adorable....love those little innocent faces and mischievous eyes!!

Monkey and BooBoo are to adorable. I love to see goats snuggle and love on each other.....warms the heart to see that kind of bond in animals!

I'm also guessing twins out of the doe......girls of course! I think she'll hold out on you till your convinced she'll bust, they have to make you worry you know.

There is no doubt your a good Gaotie Momma....those beautiful goats prove it!! Just look at how happy and healthy they are. We all question ourselves (especially when things are tough) at those times I like to take a step back, breath deep and take in all the GOOD that surrounds me....it always outways the bad!! Well and get some goatie kisses..they awlays make my day!!

*Grins at all the happy goaties* They are adorable- and all of them look quite content, so I think you can consider yourself to have done quite well by them. Good goat Momma indeed.

Oh sweetie...I know this past month has been really hard on you ((((hugs))) but just keep plugging away and remember that we are here to support you and help hold you up. The attention and love you give to your goats is priceless and you ARE doing enough...just look at your own pictures and videos!

What beautiful pictures! And Donna what Michelle said it right, you are an AMAZING goat momma. We all go through period where things just go horribly wrong, that doesn't make us bad goat moms it just makes us human. I read all your posts and I have always admired how hard you have worked with your herd and how well you have done to make things go.

And remember we are all here for you .
