Ok, and now for the long awaited pictures of Boomer, Annies little boy...

After months of research, going to farms, talking to breeders who both bottle raise and natural raise, and reading books, we decided to bottle raise the babies. Nutmeg is our only naturally raised goat, and she is a :duc....brat...
And she was handled, loved and very well cared for. Now I have to chase her, pin her, and ugh...No, im sorry im going to be selfish I just cant deal with another pain in the :duc

Hes got some very pretty markings though :D and what a pair of lungs!! Omg!!

We brought him inside for a moment because I couldnt find the Iodine, hehe, he surprised us. He promptly peed on the carpet...:lol:

Back outside we go! DH and I were just on our way out to bring ducks in and close the goat pen up, when I checked on her and watched her water break. I yelled at DH to grab a towel and he told me: "No, I want to see!"
Then DH dried the little boy off, milked mom, and bottle fed the baby. He was very proud of himself.

He is 3/4 Lamancha, and 1/4 Nubian. :D and now hes snuggled up next to my knee, and Annie is eating her strawberry's.
FINALLY!!! Annie decided to let the little bugger out, :th Finally!!!

Give Annie a very big HUG from me. She did it, but has no proof for the other goats. She needs emotional support. NO ONE WILL BELIEVE that she had a baby. NO ONE! She needs some extra love.

The baby is adorable, BTW!

I will give her a hug and another strawberry for you, ok?
I will also make sure to tell the goats to leave poor Annie alone :mad: She played me good, and worked really hard to have him!
