Last Babies Born!




The last of the kids/lambs have been born for 2009! this year was the largest kid/lamb crop that we have ever had 22 in all and a good proportion of male and female...more on the female side! With a fiber farm we are always at a dilema as to what to do with the male animals that wouldn't be suitable for breeding! Fortunatley we have wethered (castrated) some and hope that they will find suitable homes as pets or 4H projects!


The last two that were born were a surprise! We had a little milk chocolate kid doe born from a color factored white yearling named Popcorn. We weren't sure she was bred as we had put her in with the buck for only a month at the last minute. Here she is pictured above! PS I wasn't home when she kidded and my husband was home...it was his first solo kidding and he did great!
The very last one born was out of our AAGBA doe Violet who is a yearling and we thought Oh she just didn't take well she surprised us! Adam was born on Easter Sunday right in time for me to miss church...sigh one of the hazards of being a goat herd/shepherd!! LOL
