Here is the result of all of Maggie's Hard work yesterday.
I think we are calling her S'more because of her markings. With the light graham cracker brown on top and the chocolate brown footings.
Lil'Mama snuck in a quick delivery of twin bucklings while we were all busy. Name will probably be Storm for the silver one as he was born second during a hum dinger of a windy downpour. The Black one will most likely be called Perseid after the meteor storm. Astronomical events often have an effect on the ebb and flow of nature and I blame the meteor shower and the storm for the dual deliveries.
Names are tentative until my daughter gets home from camp and we argue with her that none of these kids looks like a bambi.

I think those r great names-very fitting! And really cute babies!!
Goats seem to prefer having babies when it's really, really nasty out. I personally believe it's an evolutionary combo package...a predator protection mechanism, and a hardy offspring mechanism.
If it's nasty out, the coyotes and other predators will be less likely to be on the prowl looking for brand new babies to eat, and the babies that make it through such a rough 'birthday' are more likely to be the stronger, hardier ones anyway..
Win/Win....unless you're a predator or a weak baby, that is.. :/
