Farm life

I have been waiting forever for these babies to be born. We figured they would be born in March, but noooooo.  The goat above is Daisy. She was born yesterday. Her mom ( nanny ) ended up having quads. Two died in child birth :(, and one was got by a predator last night, most likely a fox.  No we are not happy and traps have been set to prevent any more of the babies from being taken.

This little girl is Genny. She was born today along with her sister Fawn. Their mom (Molly) is a pure bred Nubian and this is the first time that she had kidded for us. Mom and babies are doing well.


This is the best picture I have of Fawn, she wouldn't look at me.

A slightly better picture. Aren't they cute!

We have six more goats pregnant and I will post pictures when they get here!
