Congrats on all the new babies! Those are two beautiful bucklings! Which buck was Ruth and Idgie bred too? Blue eyes, how neat! I didn't know Kikos sometimes had blue eyes, how interesting. Wow she is taking care of all 4 of them herself? What a fantastic mother! Way to go Ruth!... and Idgie too!

The were both bred to my senior herd sire - Oberon - he is a son of Eastex James Bond and he has those ice blue eyes. Not real common in Kikos. Idgie's kids all got them and a couple of Ruth's did too.

With all the talk about goats I almost forgot we had a special delivery yesterday evening. We welcomed a litter of Great Pyrenees puppies to the farm yesterday evening! Mom is being pretty tolerant but also little protective so I did not want to disturb her much, so I just did a quick check and will do a better one later, but it looks like 6 girls! (I will double check because I am having a hard time believing she had ALL girls ).

I just went to your website and checked out Oberon, he is a very nice looking buck!

Thank you Jen. I am TRYING (unsuccessfully) to get a recent picture of him. That pic was taken a month or so before I got him and he had spent the past 2 years free range on 50 acres. He has since gained a lot of weight, grown in height, and muscled up. But, it is currently the best picture I have of him. He seems to hate his picture taken and every time I try he does something stupid!

Duchess, Ruthie's daughter from a breeding to my KIKO buck two years ago has finally dropped her kids. Have tried 3 times to send this, using Emoticons, but no luck.
She had a beautiful carmel colored paint buck and a doe that has a calico colored head and a white body. Will try to get my daughter over here with her digital camera to get pictures tomorrow to zip off.



Well finally figured this out. Needless to say, I am really tired and frustrated.

Seminole Wind hoping for a calm night and day tomorrow.

Congratulations!! Can't wait to see pictures! Hope you got a good night's rest!

Woke up to my last doe kidding this a.m.! April Fool's babies!!!

I'm a kidding behind with this morning's birth, but here's the little Purebred buckling that was born Saturday. Took this Sunday at a day old.

So, Jen - did the pups turn out to be all girls??? And I want pictures!

Congratulations to all on the new kids!


That little fellow is just precious KF

Congratulations SW! Those sound like some pretty neat colored kids! I hope you can get some pictures of them, cause I wanna see!


Congratulations KF on the new kids! That tan buckling in the picture is beautiful!


I will try to get some pictures of the puppies tomorrow hopefully. Mom still gets a little nervous if we pick them up, so I have been leaving her alone as much as possible, but she is getting better about it already so I think she will be ok. She took them out of the nice bed we had made for her, and put them in a nest she dug out of some hay we had piled up in the corner of the pen/shed But they are doing well and she is a good mom and the hay is dry and warm so that is good too.

Well I THOUGHT we were done with kidding until late fall, but one of our yearlings is bred after all. I like to wait until they are a bit older, I had planned on breeding her and her sister to kid in December, but it looks like Nifty had her own plans and will be kidding in June instead. I had wrote down the day she got in the buck pasture just in case but I saw no evidence at the time she actually got bred, well I noticed a couple days ago she is starting to udder up. She is not small but I would have liked to give her another 5 months or so to grow.

Congrats on the unexpected new arrivals.

Imagine all have had those "oops" type of breedings. We have and it was always the one dairy buck we have that is a jumper So happy we finally we are able to get him confined!

I look at them with mixed emotions. So hard on the young does, does have a tendency to stunt their growth. But the new babies are still sweet.

The last Angora doe kidded yesterday afternoon A little white doe. Mom and baby are doing wonderfully.

I had a call from another Angora breeder, she had a bottle baby(the mom died) asking could I please take it. Glutton for punishment I suppose...we picked the little guy up yesterday afternoon. A little white Angora buckling (will be a wether).

Still waiting on one more dairy doe to kid...hopefully soon
