Last Saturday, these little cuties were born to my Nigerian doe Raina. The dad is Halo. The first image is a girl, the second is a boy. The girl had trouble walking for the first couple days, but she's fine.

I sold my mostly white kid, so now I can finally milk his mom Darla! Can't wait to make some cheese.

Yesterday Periwinkle gave birth to 2 boys! Just a couple weeks after my fence expansion. It's totally not weird that the mom is 8 or 9 years old and the dad is only 1 year old. o_O

A few updates; haven't posted in a while. I temporarily stopped milking Periwinkle and Eshki because they might be pregnant and want colostrum to develop. Two of my other ladies, Darla and Wanda, gave birth to 1 buckling and 2 doelings, respectively. Darla on 2/13, and Wanda on 2/17. I helped...

I've decided it's not too late to change Keri's name to Raina. I don't really like the name Keri for a goat. :idunno So Raina she is.:clap

My latest addition. She's a Nigerian Dwarf named Keri. Cute?

Periwinkle had a baby! It's a buckling. The father was Ronin, a buck who I had traded for my newest doe Darla. My current buck is Halo, who is the son of Ronin and Bambina and is now courting Periwinkle.

Here's a video introducing my current goats. You may check out my other videos too!

A couple weeks ago, I was able to catch two of the piglets and sell them. Today, I managed to find someone who can catch the mama pig. They caught her and her remaining piglet, and I sold her and the piglet to them.

I feed her twice a day. I haven't had her long enough to develop a special call. The only places I can think of with shade are the bottom of my house (I have a single wide) or my neighbor's houses. They know I have a pig on the loose and will let me know if they see her. The only mudholes I...

Last Wednesday my pig Irma got out, and I found her down the driveway a bit with piglets. She has been impossible to move back to the yard with the goats because she was protective of her piglets. So I just let her stay at the spot where she was for about a week. Yesterday, she disappeared...

Sounds like a great idea. I was thinking of starting with a foundation and making that my focus first. I want something about 8' by 16'.

I want to build a goat barn but I don't know where to begin. I milk my goats, and I want a barn where I can keep my feed and milk my does. They are in a fenced in area with a dinky little shelter and I think they need something better than a little shelter. Their feed is in my house and I...

Update! I found homes for all kids except for one, a Nigerian dwarf named Halo. I like Halo's unusual markings so I kept him. I traded his father Ronin for a new doeling named Darla. I'm told she's a Spanish/Nubian mix. Nubians are great milkers, but I just read that the Spanish breed has a...

My biggest goat Wanda just gave birth to two adorable babies yesterday! Despite having a missing hind leg, she managed her pregnancy well and the babies are nursing well. Wanda is a Boer/Nubian mix and is a few years old. The daddy, Ronin, is a Nigerian dwarf who was only 5 months old when he...

New pot bellied piggy! I got her last week. I traded the baby goat Mirabelle for this piggy. Her name is Irma.

Here's the most recent picture of the daddy, Ronin. He's still smaller than Periwinkle but about the same size as Bambina. I have more pictures of my goats on the intro thread.

More babies! Same daddy, different mom. The father, Ronin, was only 4 or 5 months old when he did the deed. This is Bambina's first live birth (she had a miscarriage and stillborns previously). Both are boys!

There was a birth today! Periwinkle gave birth to two kids, but one survived and the other was stillborn. Here's the surviving kid! It's a girl!

Time for another update! Wanda the goat is coping well on her three legs. I probably forgot to mention, but I sold her daughter Imzadi a few months ago. My other two ladies, Periwinkle and Bambina, are definitely looking pregnant and should be due some time next month. And, I also got a new...
