Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

When will you get to milk her?

Either tonight or in the morning. I may do it tonight because we have church in the morning. I can milk her twice a day if the kids are weaned. I think they are, if not they are close and I'll be able to milk her twice a day before long. I hope she isn't a pain about it, but if she is goat wrestling is fun anyway I'm looking forward to it either way!

Im glad!!

James is going to start nesting on the eggs himself and talking "lamaze" with the mommy bunny to start contractions and Cindi's gonna start walking down the road to meet the goat lady.

anxious are we????

GOT EM!!!!

this is the momma obviously, and I like to have NEVER got a pic because my camera batteries are dead. It took me 7 times to get a shot!!! Now I gotta charge my batteries

OH! Mommas name is Bonnie! The kids are unnamed Who wants to help name them....one of each gender, I need ideas

That's the buckling in the foreground of the pic. The doeling is white with a couple brown spots on her back about the size of a golf ball. They are GORGEOUS and LOUD

I'm not....not anymore anyway

Yay!

Clyde?

Bonnie sounds Irish, you could go with that as a theme. Katie, Shannon, Meg for the doeling.
Sean, Seamus, for a buckling.

Awwww .....

Your mama goat has the same color pattern as my sweet Nubi that was killed by coyotes ... I'd have kids 4 weeks old now too. She even has horns too ... I never see one that looks THAT much like my girl, since they are usually disbudded.

I hope she has the same wonderful temperament my girl had. And produces more milk. My girl would never have been a gallon a day milker, but she was SOOO sweet I had already decided to keep her forever, however much she milked. Besides, she would nurse ANYone, so if I had ever had a kid rejected by it's mama, I bet she would have taken it in.

I'm so happy for you that you got your goaties, FINALLY! Isn't it just typical that all kinds of things happen when you're anxious for something? But they are finally there.

Goatie bliss.

Those are good ideas. My DD already said we should name the buckling Clyde We're not keeping him though. I am going to try to trade him or sell him. Not convinced that I should keep a buck around full time. Too much trouble.
