Growing the Herd! - Goat math strikes again!

[Thatdaywewokeupasfarmers]

@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.

Awwwww, she is so pretty! And we have an Alpine too!

Alpines. I have mini alpines. They're awesome! The babies are so cute too!

Love your goat mom shirt, where did you find that? The crazy goat people must know!

Thanks! I'm so getting one!

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

Last year my Alpine doe kidded on day 156. I think Alpines are known to kid a little later then most goats though.

Has Rosie had her kid(s) yet?

I have decided that Rosie isn't pregnant. 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 forward to baby goats for 5 months!

This is her from behind just now.
