Mini Horses 2024 & 2025 kidding

@Mini Horses .......Your Boers have nice udders.....Cute little ones... NO GOATS for me but I can enjoy them in other's fields...they are cute for a couple weeks, then like piglets... they are a PITA until adults... that's why I raised feeder pigs for years... cute & adorable... sold at 8-12 weeks when they started being escape artist PITA's... raise a couple for replacement sows in a FORT KNOX pen... when they got over 100 lbs or so they seemed to get some sense in their heads again... but little piglets at 4-6 weeks are just sooooooo cute to watch...

@farmerjan i have to agree. It’s hard to beat a week old spotted piggy for cuteness.

@Mini Horses congratulations on the twins. Like kittens, they are so cute!

Ahhh....baby most any animal is hard to resist. I love that lambs almost always seem to be smiling Every group has their "racing, sleep piling" moments. It's the best part of raising them. I love watching a hen & chicks. They are real teachers to their brood, talking & showing. Waiting on this years broody

Doe kidded twin bucklings tonight. At dusk it appears, I went looking and she called to me. Only headlamp on but one up and pretty dry, other licked off and getting to feet. Both are very colorful and full Boer. They'll sell well. Anyway, made sure she had feed & water, left her to bond...2nd kidding and good mom. They're in a clean area by the barn, up in a corner of "L shape". Weather is good. Extra hay for bedding. I'll get some pic in the morning.

Believe last of kiddings. Thought she'd have a single. They're on small side but will grow fast.

Aww…. She called to you. Isn’t it humbling sometimes on how much our animals trust us? Congratulations on the twins.

Yesterday at auction in Emory, @Ridgetop and I watched the goats and sheep go through. Boers brought the best prices and moon spotted big bucks were the highest.
