So, I got a call out of the blue today. The breeder I bought Rosie from and who bred her with his buck last fall had heard that she never kidded this year. He offered to come pick her up tomorrow evening and keep her for a couple weeks. I didn't think she'd come back into heat this year, but he...

@Alyssa McDaniel Pedro looks like he's a charmer. Cracked me up! Also: :welcome

Aw, thanks @animalmom!

My goats are truly a wish come true.

Seems like most people are always wanting to hold their does in milk real close, but I'm hoping I might come across one this year. I got into goats for the milk. Or at least that's what I told my parents. It was mostly for their cute little faces. But the milk too.

She's two now, and this would have been her first freshening. She was in milk somehow last year when I got her, probably just her hormones being confused by all of the other does in milk around her. Doesn't look like I'm going to get that lucky this year. She's my only mature doe.

This is her from behind just now.

I have decided that Rosie isn't pregnant. :hit Rookie me misinterpreted some things. She didn't come back into estrus (noticeably, anyway) and she grew quite plump over the winter. But she has slimmed down in the last week and never developed an udder. I'm pretty upset about it. I was looking...

Still waiting! Day 152 now. Going a little crazy!

Super cute!

@Goatgirl47, both Rosie and the buck she was bred to are Alpines. Here's a picture of Rosie, just cause I think she's gorgeous! And yes, when she isn't grumpy about the little girls stealing the spotlight, she's secretly glad to have some company.

Exciting times! Maggie and June are growing up fast and stealing my heart a little more every minute. They are like little lap dogs and always want to be held or dotted on. <3 Rosie-girl is at day 150! She dropped about a week ago and has been carrying really low since. No signs of labor yet...

They're home! Meet Magnolia and Juniper! Maggie is a little stinker. Could tell from the moment I met her that I'd have my hands full. June is a little sweetheart. She is more laid back than her sister, but boy does she attack a milk bottle! She always finishes before her Maggie and then...

Thank you, animalmom! Right? Love those floppy ears. Especially the silver ones! :love I'm over the moon!

I missed the notification that she kidded! Congrats @newton the goat! So happy for you! :weee
