Looky what I found!
We purchased a couple potentially bred Cashmere X goats back in February and it was really really clear the one took for sure as she's been getting big and over the last week or so showing all the signs we've read about(our first time). Well last night we checked on her and there was a little discharge, her udder was engorged and ligaments were almost completely gone. My wife was up pretty much the entire night, just couldn't leave her alone for a second and of course....nothing! Lol. I told her so.

Off to work we went this morning, the wife exhausted, me laughing at her since she's been a wreck all week. Well I barely got the car in park when we got home and she was out and heading to the goat barn, eventually managed to catch up and we found ourselves a great looking, healthy little buckling.

His name is Walter....

Thanks everyone, he's a pretty great first born for us.

Oh and he's definitely a keeper, wife already decided that first born on the farm after it officially became ours 3 weeks ago has a home for life here....I couldn't disagree.
