So adorable - I'm so partial to the brown colorings. Our last babies left today for their new forever homes, so these pics were a bright spot for me.

AWWWW! This makes me want goats. But at this point, that might be enough to make hubby divorce me. Do I dare test that theory?.......

So stinking cute with those big floppy ears, congrads on the first for the year and hope the balance goes smoothly......I had a twin set of lambs born yesterday, they are six weeks behind the rest, clean up ram did his job I guess but was so hoping that I was done lambing for the year and now my wean times will be off for this last late set.

Mom's milk does spur that growth.
That boy is a real looker with his solid dark head and the cute spots on his toes.

@redfish, What a good looking new family, I also love the boy with the solid brown head, and what great weights on the three, goes to show that you take good care of the does while carrying  Congrads, so two more to kid right? the first two had trips and wondering if the balance will follow suit? bet your does walk around screaming move over wide load coming through 
So when you get a minute please give me a little insight on what you do with your goats, IE do you sell breeding stock, raise for meat? milk? I just love livestock! |

HA HA, not enough said...................
LOL, wide load for sure, mamma looks great and must be relieved having the trips out
The doe kid picture, she is so cute also, it is so hard keeping goat math under control, with cuteness like that how can you get rid of?
Okay so you run the Boers for dog food (cept the sales are good now) SO what breed of dairy goats? what are you crossing the dairy breeds with? Sounds really great with the foundation doe and her output of milk, hope your new buck gives you what you are looking for in the future kids....
Have you tried rabbits for dog food? they multiply soooooooooooo fast LOL.
I am a firm believer that everyone should raise ONE pig per year for family consumption, there are good grass eating breeds out there and if you get them at wean age you can run them with your other livestock and they (the pig) thinks its a goat or sheep depending on what you raise it with, its a annual animal so within 9 months it is ready to go to slaughter (being 8 weeks before you purchase) so 9 months on your farm and no wintering it is one of the best things we have ever done in our farming history, I don't think I ever posted a picture of my new annual pet pig, I will do that soon....they are YUMMY and everyone likes pork Just remember one pig doesn't know that it isn't a goat/sheep, but if you purchase two pigs then they know they are pigs and root everything up trying to compete with each other, one is the key trick and purchasing them just weaned is so important.

They are beautiful and doe's to boot, sorry you were wanting a buck but that is how it goes, wish for one thing get the other....You shouldn't have a problem selling those two girls though
This year during lambing season we had a 10 month old Great Pyrenees female in with the ewes, she did so GREAT with them that I am kicking myself in the butt for having her spaded when she was 6 months of age, she would of passed on great genes and traits, she was born on our farm and that helps when being around the ewes and lambing time as she had already learned respect for them when she was a pup. But her daddy is at this same farm with her and I didn't want him to breed her during her first heat cycle so I had her spade....
Hope your last doe kids in the field so your dog can prove himself Trusting your LGD's "there is no better feeling" |

My husband isn't sure he really wants to get goats - he actually thinks I'm a little nuts for wanting to move in that direction. Perhaps these adorable baby pictures will change his mind!

@redfish, I've never had a problem with wandering goats either. In fact I have to walk them out to any new place otherwise they won't go.
The girls come with me when I go out to depoop after the horses but go right back to their usual places as I head back. Comes from being excessively well fed I suspect.
