Aren't they just the cutest things. It is always nice when things work they way they are supposed to. Congratulations. Was Clover bred to an Alpine buck?

:thumbsup:weee:thumbsup

Clover is such a beauty, and those doelings are gorgeous!!! Congratulations, @Goatgirl47 , you did just right by her. You let her roam awhile, and then penned her in time to get the kidding done indoors. Awesome. Your instinct was dead-on. AND...we seem to be continuing with the heavy leaning toward DOELINGS! That's the way, lots and lots of does! WOW! I hope they don't run out before my Jaeger gets around to planting his seed! I get pick-of-the-litter(s) and I want doelings. This is all sooo exciting.
Happy dance, everybody!!! WHOOT, WHOOT! :weee:celebrate:clap:clap:celebrate:weeeWHOOT, WHOOT!

edit to add: Don't know if this is gonna work or not, but I'm hoping to embed my favorite 30 seconds of this "happy dance":

Okay, it puts the whole video, so you can watch the whole thing or just from 1:34 to 2:04.

YAY!!! That's AWE-some! Glad she was able to be out and about till right before the due time :D Guess she's a "walk about". Maybe the walking around helped her get the kids positioned and ready to pop. You've got a good eye! So what are your plans for the two beautiful doelings? I hope you'll be keeping at least one!

Congrats!

Congrats!!!!!! :celebrate:celebrate:celebrate

Glad you got the noses cleared :)

Looks like she is being a good momma! I'm surprised she had 2 in there! And DOES!!!! YAY!! :celebrate

I assume you will keep at least one?

Glad your first kidding experience was a good one! :weee

Thanks! I'm so glad everything went well my first kidding too. :)

I want to keep both, but my Mom probably won't let me, unless I sell another goat (or two). :oops: We will see...;)

Thank you!

Some friends came over today and they said that sometime in the future they might want to get a doeling from us (for a milk goat, eventually). We will probably have to sell at least one of them, but I would love to keep both! :)
In April we will have two more does kidding, and maybe I will want to keep a doeling from one of them, instead of keeping these two.

I had to put them outside in an enclosure for a little bit while I cleaned out the goat house. They were already jumping around some.
