Doe was due sooner than I thought... Pics on pg 2,3

Neither are reg and we are supposed to be selling both and buying reg

I was thinking that my husband seems to have forgotten that.

Sure enough he says we are keeping the doe. She slept in his arms most of the day when she wasnt trying to follow him around.
These pics are not very good. I just realized I had turned off my flash somehow and they are all blurry. My cousin is here and is letting me use his and mine is now working better. The doe is smaller but is much friskier. The buck seems to have a cape (I think that is the right turn) of his sires light coloring and then damns med brown and then that white splotch on his belly. I used to have pics of daddy until my DH lost all my info on my ipad Not a good day Anyway, super cute kids!

Of course, they had to come on cleaning day. DH didnt think it was a big deal but I kept trying to keep them off the dirty carpet. Its all clean now and they are sleeping against the couch.
From the left, our only pet Star (not allowed near chickens), doe, DH, buck, and Smith (one of our pyrs, the others name is Wesson

How do I change the title?

kids look good, love the spots.
Are you going to let mom dam raise them or bottle them? If you are bottle feeding make sure to get mom's milk/colostrum the first few days to first week as they need the colostrum.

Congrats on your first goat birthing

We are bottle raising them. My daughter wants to show. We milked Ira right after she was done and got 10 ounces. Then again when we put them in the barn and got 8 ounces. First thing in the morning we will be back down there before milking before we let her and the others out. We will be getting another really nice doeling (We hope) in the next week or so. The breeder believes so at least! She had an ultra sound done and the doe has twins. We are both hoping for a spotted doe. If we are lucky I will be picking up another doeling 3 days after she is born, for colostrum, and will be able to give it goats milk from Ira along with our twins. I love the spots...

We will also be picking up two bred show does and will need to bottle feed their kids as well.

Edited for clarity

If you are keeping her, I would apply to ADGA for starter papers on her. Get another ADGA member to certify that she conforms to the standard for a Nubian. Then you'll get 0% papers for her. Her kids can be papered at 50% and you keep going up from there.


The same can be done with her mother. And if this girls daddy was a papered buck and you do 0% on her mother, I think they'll let you put this girl at 50% which means her kids would be 75%.


Worth looking in to.

Wow I did not think of that. I really like that idea. That means I can keep her without feeling so guilty! I know a breeder who will be able to look her over and I will check that out. Thanks!

She's too cute to not pull strings and keep. Seriously adorable, she looks like a baby deer.

I know! That was my first thought when I saw here. My next was Bambi. Our living room is partially tiled and when they were first learning to walk they kept leaving the carpet then would do the Bambi move on the tile! Our older pyr Smith would go to them whenever they cried and and nudge them onto the carpet. It was soo cute! I will do what I can to get her papers so that I can keep her. She is the most outgoing and playful and Hungry!

SuburbanFarm, Yes, I still can't believe it. All my preparations and with no signs she kids in the mud... sheesh!
