Dairy Goats: April 2008 Archives

We eased out into the pastured then called to the goats who for some reason where in the barn on a beautiful warm day.

It took a few times calling their names but we finally got their attn.

It was feeding time for the new bucklings we brought home Monday. Lilah, my lead doe, leaned down as if to say to the baby it was okay to go.

Immediately they both came running.

I have a good crew to help feed these growing babies.

Hey, Mary, send your brother over here to look at my baby I got from him with Lilah. She is all grown up and gorgeous! Lilah is on the left and her baby we renamed Violet is on the right.

Last fall I did not breed the goats we got last summer from Miz S's baby brother. I spent alot of time looking for the perfect mates for the girls and did not like anything I saw.

Until today.

Here are Beau and Luke - my two new bucklings. I hope they sire me some really beautiful kids!

Steven keeps calling them a 'buppy!' Everything is a puppy to him except for the chickdies and the "ooses!" (my goslings).

They are both 1 week old and bottle fed. I find them to be absolutely adorable!

*Kidding - get it?
