9....but my 2 wethers will *hopefully* be at a new home early next month assuming the people come through and build their fence. I'm not in a rush to get them out, but my other half is!

Next spring we'll have 3 bred does, so up and up it goes!

I had to sit here and count them on my fingers. I kept getting to 22 and thinking who am I forgetting? It was Jasmine, the LaMancha.

One of the Nigis is dropping her mucous plug tonight; One has babies moving around like mad but is not in labor yet; The other has a couple weeks to go, we think.

Griffin's Ark's dairy does (not included in this list) are getting ready to drop kids soon. The Boers are getting ready to drop kids soon.

2! We just got our very first goats in June. 2 purebred LaMancha doelings! It's been fun so far. Just spent a bit of time cleaning out their shed, giving them their water and grain, and letting them out to browse on our landscaping. (read: weeds!) I'm excited for the springtime and new babies!

2 here too Our girls came home last weekend. I'm loving them. Trying to get the milking routine down because I thought they were dry, but after getting them, no "she can be dried if you want". Oops. My error, it's a good thing Pandora knows what she's doing.

Currently we have 22 does, 2 bucks owned solely by us and 2 bucks that are co-owned with a fellow Nigi breeder. Numbers keep changing (like, going up) so this is what I had last week.

Oops! Just went up to 25 does and 5 bucks. Now I'm just going to stop counting.
