New baby goats




"D" just called; the goat that we thought was going to kid Sunday afternoon finally did. I thought she'd twin; she did. I have yet to see them, but there's a grey one that looks like her, and the other's a tan like the other nanny and her kid who came from the same herd. That herd sire's also tan. From the looks of it, the kids will be bigger than their mothers. We didn't like the management methods of the woman where we got these goats, nutrition was lacking, too frequent breeding, etc. It looks like the kids are getting better nutrition than their mothers already, and they're only getting the tall grass that was there already and a salt block.
