Last kids of 2010

Bucklings from Maggie the Nubian (12/26/10)

Maggie, Sydney's pet goat, gave her quite a birthday present today. Actually, a birthday present times two. Maggie gave birth to two little bucklings around lunch time. These are our last kids for the winter. Sydney has begged to keep them. Not sure how we'll do it. I'd like to take them down to see Dr. Lee at Lee Vet Clinic in Atmore to have them disbudded.

Bunny's Babies

Bunny gave birth to twin beauties today!

My Sweet Sydney

Sydney's favorite part of goat farming... snuggling with newborns!

First Kids of Winter 2010-11

Craig and Sydney check out the kids.

Maxine, the Saanen, gave birth to two beautiful buck kids today.

One is white with waddles, just like her! The other is chocolate with stripes and looks like his dad.

No disbudding for these little fellas, as we won't be keeping them.

We'll enjoying playing with them for as long as they'll let us.

The two boys sniff around while their mother eats.

We are watching Bunny and Maggie, the Nubian, closely.

They are our only other nannies expecting. Bunny, a speckled Nubian / Boer cross, should have hers soon. She is huge, so we are expecting her to have at least two kids.

We'll keep you posted. Have a great Sunday!!!

Kids Any Day

Funny how changes in weather make for changes in the goat barn! Looks like Maxine may have waited for the warmer temps to have her kids. It's a balmy 63* this evening. Only a few nights ago, we were contending with temps in the teens. I'll post pics of the kids when they get here!
