heheheee Baby goats are great. I was running back and forth across my yard today so that mine would chase me. I think the neighbors probably thought I was insane.

Went out to the barn to do evening chores.

And.......................................................................














I have my first kids from Goldman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



First I saw a dried off kid standing next to Macy, and afterbirth on the ground. I was very excited, but not surprised to see just one, but looked healthy and she was tending to it. So I checked for danglies and there weren't any. Yah, It is a girl. I stand back to admire and half way across the barn I see, scrunched in another pen is a little dried off, but still damp kid. There is another one. Pick it up, check for danglies, it is a buckling. Take him to mom, and I am positive with Macy being so young, she will be confused and wont have anything to do with him. She starts talking to him and it is a big reunion.


So I move them to a kidding pen, and convince them where the teats are, and mom is excited but concerned about the entire situation. Suddenly they are both munching away.



I will have to say after all of that, I stand back to admire them, Traditionals, but a little bit of shading on their heads, kind of interesting, nice long flat ears, Then I realize they have brown spots on a couple of their feet. That is interesting. How come they have brown spots on their legs/feet, mom doesn't and dad, well GOLDMAN, is gold and traditional. Both parents as far as I know come from a line of traditionals. I have no idea.

when it is all said and done, I think to myself, "They weren't born all sparkly, nor with a tattoo saying GOLDMAN, nor did they have a neon sign near them stating we are kids from Goldman, but they are kind of nice, healthy, strong and alive. I didn't have to assist mom in any way. Infact, I didn't even now she was in labor. I had been out to check a couple hours earlier, could tell she was close, but no signs of active labor.


I know I need pictures, I will try to get some this evening and get weights on them, They look to me to be a little under 7 lbs each. Need to remember, mom is just turning 12 months old, infact she was born first week of February. Although she weighed over 100lbs when we bred her at 7 months old.

They are a little smaller than I expected, but so glad she had no kidding problems.
