Little Patch of Weeds 2014 Kidding countdown!

[Goat Whisperer]

Oh gosh they are cute! To bad you are so far away, I would love to get one of Resse's does' and Georgias buck! Oh wait, maybe its a good thing you are so far.... my family would probably kill me if I were to bring more goats home!

I can't wait till our does kid in April/may! Kids are so fun! I just love those little baa's and the way they play!

You have a beautiful bunch of kids!

Although Im not one to laugh or judge....especially since I just bought two more (including another buck when I already have 3!!!) And have two new babies on the ground and 2 more does due in the next couple of weeks! No judgement!

But you ARE right....Reeses babies are soooooo precious. Especially that lil buckskin one! What a great doe! Hope you breed the same pair again with that kind of fabulous luck!

They are all so cute and adorable.

I would love to get little goats but we have our hands full with the big ones...... maybe after I win the lottery and an quit my job.

Sorry I forgot to post the weights of the other two trips...They are 3# for the light buckskin little girl and 2# 15oz for the chocolate one.

Georgia has decided that the girls are hers ....not too surprising I guess. She had her kids only hours before and she was helping clean them off when they were born. She particularly loves the little one that is the same pattern and color as she is. I think that baby might actually be chocolate with the light creamy buckskin instead of the black with cream, but she really looks the most like Georgia especially with the cream...... I had to laugh out loud that she insisted that one was hers right from the start. She has had quads the last 3 years so it makes sense that she wants more than just one. Actually the bigger reasons I am letting her have them are that her milk is much easier to let down and I am concerned that the bitty little one get milk fast and easy. Also she is a bit more patient and lets the kids nurse more frequently and for a bit longer than Reese does. Reese loves her kids but she has always, and this year is no exception, stepped away from the kids and not let them nurse very often or very long. Not terrible, but enough to concern me as these kids are smaller than we usually have and not as vigorous about insisting on eating. With Reese I have had to encourage the kids to nurse when she was in the milk stand just so they would get enough or she would walk away or kick them off too soon. And tonight Reese was mad that another kid looked at her and she jumped up and came down right on top of the littlest one. I am worried she will get trampled.

Both the boys will be sold. I would love to keep Spellbounds little boy....(can't decide on a name)I love his heart on one leg and did I mention that if I look closely, the white mark on the other rear leg looks like an arrow pointing down (to me anyways ) ..... But I have his dad and plan to still use GusGus next year soooo..... I am open to name suggestions... Valentine themed names are totally appropriate ....

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Before you even wrote Valentine, I thought it'd be a cute name!
Cupid, Romeo, Bo n' Arrow, Love me Tender, Romance, Prince, King of Hearts, Shakespeare,...somethng with heart on sleeve, since that's what he has! Sooooooo cute!

 

[ragdollcatlady]

Thanks for the ideas! I kind of like Cupid or Romeo, but once he is all grown up, King of Hearts would be cool too.....

I have offered the 2 boys on my local CL.....I am debating letting Spells little girl go too.

Still no news from Jane....should be getting close. She has an udder already....

 

[bonbean01]

Congratulations!!! Totally adorable...and sorry about the little girl that didn't make it.

Jane started labor yesterday at 7:30 in the morning, but by 8 I had to take her to the vet because the kid was too big and the head was in the wrong position. I was sure the kid was already gone by the time we got to the vet (45 min away) but they pinched her toe with forceps and she moved so we ended up doing a C section. Jane and the baby are good. Soooo stressful! Good ending! After the first few hours of making her feed the little girl, Jane started in with the talking and licking. I used plastic mesh to close off half the pen so they have a private space to bond in.

Oh wow! Very wise on your part and many congratulations for healthy mama and baby!!!!
