Oh I can't wait to see what the red & white x Bean Seed kids look like. And fanov8 when I look at Wilma I think I'm seeing a paint horse with her perfect blaze.

We got Cookie the b/w along with Peanut the part Nubian, and chunky little Sweet Thing/Blondie {still not sure what I want to call her?} from a very nice lady for $75 each. She is due in march and HAD to cut back her herd. While Cookie is/should be bred for march, that is not a prego belly, she was looking around me so it seems even bigger then it was. She is our fav, and LOVES my fiance. I think I'd like to show her at the county fair just for fun. She love it I'm sure, enjoyed the car ride home. There are pics of the on my blog, there is a link in my sig. That is their roof that they are standing byin the first pic, we put up there shelter the day we got em.

Just tagging along behind my fiance a week or so after we got them. The junk is on the out side of the pen.
We should be getting some reg Alpine kids in march. No telling how meny breeds we will end up with, cuz I love Alpines & the minis too, while he like earless LaMancha and long eared Nubians. But I think LaManchas are the sweetist breed. And I love how streamlined they look.

So cool!!! I LOVE that black/white paints. I think they just look so darn sharp. I actually went looking for black/white paints... But now I really love those cream ones, and the sundgau are so cute, and the painted chamoisees get really cool looking, and and and... who am I kidding. If it is earless, I love it LOL

I thought the same thing about horses and Wilma's blaze. And her pink nose is SO CUTE!!! I'll have to find a good pic of my blk/wht Fantasia. She has a pink bottom lip that I call her "pouty lip" :p

OK, you asked for it. I love this little guy. He's kind of annoying. He's HOUDINI, the bulldozer, escape artist, Casanova, mini-lamancha goat buck. He is Famous for his hijinks and antics. And he's MINE, all MINE! (aka, I'm stuck with him, because he's in love with Mama, my 250 pound Alpine doe.)

Just wait till you own one... personalities that can't be beat!

I was wondering if Houdini was gonna join us here :) So glad to see he could make it.

jmsim93: SHE IS GORGEOUS! And those are some great photos. I really like the one of her peeking out from behind the tree. You should submit one to the Picture of the Week thread and visit the hobby section. There are some great threads on photography :D

Tomorrow, I am going to be getting new pictures of Houdini. He is a much filled out little buck now and has longer horns. My, he has grown to be a handsome (and chubby) little guy. His lady, Jelly Bean, has ears, but she is expecting his babies in about two months. I'm hoping for some Houdini look-a-likes. The verdict is still out on whether or not Mama has some of his kids in the oven. (I sure hope not!) AND on whether Brownie is carrying his progeny.

Alas, I will never get to see his other Babies in Texas.

OK, Updated picture...

He is standing on his Houdini house. He's a little messy from knocking over his hay feeder to get to the good stuff at the bottom. But his horns are longer and his hair is a bit thicker from winter growth. He's looking kind of skeptical because I am too close for comfort. He wouldn't pose for me.

We have 5 LaManchas, two Alpine mixes (companion for our buck and heat tester for the girls), and hopefully some more kids due in a few months.

Wow Queen Mum! Houdini is really looking grown up! *sigh* they do grow so fast... and break out and make babies just as fast LOL

AdoptAPitBull: I just love the black and tan ones. I actually just got a really cute little black and tan girl. She is crazy wild, but really pretty LOL I love Abe. And those kids have some really cute paint markings. I am hoping for a bunch of little earless paints running around in April :D

Here is one that shows Fantasia's "Pouty Lip" She is the black paint with the pink lip. The one playing with the Ivy vine next to her is my kindred spirit of the goat world. Her name is Garnet and she is my favorite, but please don't tell any of the others!
