Baby goats are here!
Posted April 9th, 2009 by DanielleWe have new additions to the dairy goat herd!
First is "Nash" a light brown LaMancha/Nubian cross (LaNube). He is a strapping young man and as expected his LaMancha mother "Sally" hates him, luckily she will allow him to nurse if we hold her collar, not without trying to take a few nips at him of course. I think he may be growing on her though.
Second is Pepper, a shy, vocal, black LaNube out of Verbana LaMancha. Not as expected Verbana loves her new daughter!
Third and Forth are two purebred Nubian doelings out of the fabulous "Farewell Angelina". They are big, pretty, light brown and really sweet. Angelina is taking good care of these lovely ladies. We will try to have names for these two by the end of the week.
UPDATE, MORE KIDS!
"Sweet Genvieve" had two lovely purebred Nubian daughters. A big black girl, and a tiny brown girl. Eve is only really liking the big baby but we are hoping she will come around to liking the other one too. The brown baby has had a hard time and we almost lost her but she is starting jump and run with the other kids now.
"Tre Tap's Delightful" had a huge brown purebred Nubian buckling. We have named him "King".
"Geneva De Gavilan" had two very pretty half Alpine half Nubian kids. One boy one girl. The girl will be an awesome milker.
Kidding season is now wrapped up however we will be expecting a few late summer kids! I hope to add some photos of our new arrivals soon!
