Blazing Acres 1st Kidding Thread:samssimonsays olive surprise!

[Ferguson K]

I'm still excited for you!!!

When I saw the text I squealed out loud.

Pretty sure my employee that was standing by me thought I had lost it!

Thank you @OneFineAcre and @Ferguson K I bet hahaha. I've had some moments like that at work from you too! We are over the moon with him. He's adorable. He's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Also the first brand new baby goat I've been around hahaha. He already recognizes us as family and Stella as well. They are bonding well together in their stall still. Our temps are of course dropping again.... Yay.... so we have them tucked away with the heat lamp in their stall.

love him! So exciting and such a relief to have your first kid born on the farm in such a non-dramatic way!

 

[Goat Whisperer]

So happy for you!!!

Congratulations on your very first Blazing Acres kid!

Hahahaha non dramatic is right! I walked in and saw something hanging from her and ran out yelling to my husband "she's having 'em" he came running and we both walked in to him standing and cleaned off nearly dry hahaha. She was already passing the after birth. He's so laid back and just chill. Super friendly and not as independent as others I've seen? He really likes to be next to someone, Maybe because he's a single? He actually enjoys being held if that's even a thing lol. When we pick him up he snuggles in and just chills. His legs go from bucking around when he's trying to jump around to limp when he comes off the ground in our arms. Not like Roscoe was at all hahaha.

Here he is in my arms his first day. My parents came over to meet him that day and they live 45 minutes away from us. They are in love as well. We already have other family planning on when to come see him! He's sleeping here by the way.

Ahhhhhh! He's a doll!

Congrats Sam!! So cute!

 

[samssimonsays]

I was sooooo wrapped up in him that I didn't even think to share him with y'all until night when he was put away and the high was starting to come down But at least I shared pics as soon as y'all knew about him hahaha. It is a very good thing he is a HE not a SHE or it would be hard to part with him

 

[Ferguson K]

You forgot to tell them his name! It's perfect for him!
