A little farm with a big heart
This past week, two of our mama goats gave birth! Cookie, our full Alpine doe, gave birth to twins! Our Lamancha doe, Gingerbread, also gave us twins, but by the time we got out there, one of them had already died. So far we have two bucks and a doe. We are still expecting babies from Holly, our Nubian, and one of our Nigerian dwarfs, Nala!
We got such a fun variety of colors and markings this year! 10 baby goats. Two sets of twins and two sets of triplets!
Look what we found Easter morning? Triplets! Cookie, the very round goat that was ready to pop in the last post, gave birth to three kids in the wee hours of Easter morning. By the time we found them, they were all dried off, walking around and nursing without any issues. We were blessed with two light colored does and a dark baby buck!
Our goat gals are just about ready to give birth to their kids. They are due within two weeks. Cookie, the goat shown above, naturally has a “hay belly”, or a very round belly, but she is pushing the limits right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had triplets. Twins are pretty regular with goats, especially if it’s not their first time. We have yet to have triplets, so we’ll see…
The others are due at the same time, but aren’t quite as barrel-like as Cookie.
Elf always has a streamlined physique. She is finally starting to look pregnant.
