On Monday, Juniper’s udder started to grow! We kept a close eye on her. Then, yesterday when we went to milk the other goats, she was pushing! We stayed with her and soon a sack started to emerge. She pushed and pushed and then the head and one hoof came out. Then her contractions stopped for about ten minutes. I checked to see where the other leg was and couldn’t find it and June was fine, so we waited a little while longer. Finally the whole kid came out. One leg was straight under the kid’s body. Juniper cleaned her little doeling. We named her Penny. She may be small, but she is strong! After a while a big buckling came! He was in the sack, but it broke as he came. He is super strong too! His name is Nickel. These kids are 3/4 Nubian and 1/4 Alpine. Parks Oasis Bijou is their Sire.
Awwwwww! They’re So sweet!!
Penny and Nickel are the cutest things! How are Skip and Cyrus doing?
Thanks, Skip and Cyrus are doing great! Skip will be available on March 27th. He will be $75. If anybody wants Cyrus as a wether, he can go at anytime for the same price.
Their ears are the cutest!
