Yesterday Talitha was a little off. Then last night she had the far off look in her eyes. I set an alarm and checked on her every few hours. At about 6:00 this morning I went to the barn and Talitha was having steady contractions. I stayed with her and at about 8:20 she started pushing. She pushed and pushed and around 9:30 a giant buckling came! She licked the sack before his hooves had even come out! The buckling, Skip, stood and nursed pretty soon after birth. He is 3/4 Nubian and 1/4 Alpine. His sire is either Parks Oasis Bijou, or Tucker. Both are full Nubian. Tucker’s sire is Parks Oasis Rocky Balboa. Skip’s dam is Beulah Valley Talitha. Talitha is an Albian. (1/2 Nubian and 1/2 Alpine) We will probably wether Skip and sell him for $75.
Oh my goodness. There is so much cuteness on you page. I love them!
Thanks!
Hi!! I’m so glad that you wrote this blog, and put in so many pictures of the goats! (especially the adorable kids)
I didn’t think I’d get to see them when they were THIS little, but thanks to you, I did. I hope to see them really soon!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it.
