June-Due Feb. 14th.-New pics pg 6!

[Roll farms]

My obs always sounded like little motors trying to start...."Ne ne ne ne ne ne" - MUCH quieter than the Nubs or Boers when in labor.

I just don't get why all of mine have kidding probs.
A TSC customer lost 2 Ob babies the other day, said her doe wouldn't push them out so she finally went in and got them and they were just too weak by that point.

I think Obs just are too dainty and delicate to give birth. June screamed pretty loudly through both of her previous kiddings. I mean, I feel bad for her, because I'm sure it hurts, but my sheep never make a PEEP! Each contraction she'd give a big "wwaaaaAAAAAAH!" Poor girl.

June is bred to the same Ober buck as last year, but I sold him a few months ago so this coming fall I'll need another boy. I'm excited and hoping for doe kids (of course) because Ida, her daughter from last year is a nice looking kid and an improvement over June. I'm antsy in my pantsy to see Ida's udder, but she won't even be bred until this fall so I've got a long wait.

Oh, and I mean to add that's terrible about the customer's Obs. That's why I go ahead and just help June out, because I don't see the point of wearing her out and stressing the kids any more than necessary.

June was bred Sept 17th, so Feb 14th is day 150. Day 145 is tomorrow though, and she could definitely go earlier than day 150.

What a face!!
Looks like the sheep behind her is encouraging her to get treats for them both.

Love that face.... I can hardly wait to see her babies. Are you going to videotape? I like your does' udder. It looks quite milkable. Obers have such lovely babies. And they are so sweet tempered.

I LOVE my Ober/Nubian Doe, Rum Raisin Brownie. She is due in March. I can hardly wait. I have an Ober/Nubian Buck, Ian who is a NUT. I think he's going to make some nice babies with a little boer doe here where I am living.

I also have a really handsome Ober/Alpine buck, Trump Card. He has a great personality. It's the Oberhauslie in him. The Ober is just a wonderful goat.

They're definitely my favorite breed, and I can't imagine owning any other goats, except possibly a meat goat in the future sometime. I do sometimes get jealous of all these gorgeous colored babies from other breeds though...because I don't get any surprises on the color of June's kids. I will videotape her birth, and I did last year. I'm trying I had to do it in segments though, because it took a while and I imagine it would take forever to upload a 1/2 hour or more video. And her udder is so easy to milk. She's got nice big teats.


SmallFarmGirl-I have an acre too.

She could spit out a black girl....and you could bring it to me...and then it will rain sunshine and puppies and kittens for weeks on end.

Hey, it's my happy place, I'll dream it how I want to....

I like your happy place, but could we make it rain little goat kids and lambs, or bunnies, or ....I have enough dogs, and cats. Matter of fact all 5 of them are laying here looking at me while I am typing.
