well looks like ill be picking up 2 doelings at the end of this comming week
im very excited, this will be my first time raising MY goats.
they are nubian girls, the lighter doeling born feb 12th, the dark doeling feb 14th.
these are the 2 i realy liked upon my visit to the farm, but deposit has not yet been made...however there was just something about these 2. they are completly unrelated too.
the light Doeling
she was one of 3 and the other 2 started pushing her around last week so shes now officially on the bottle anyway...
Right now im thinking of calling her Lily, her ears just kill me! lol.
Not sure what color shed be considered, shes a light caramel with white patches on her sides, and dark spine and face markings, i dont uslaly like the light colored goats but she just called to me.
this little girl would probably need to be disbudded though...im worried about that given theyll be 4 weeks when i bring the home...thoughts?
the dark doeling...
i must admit, its her color above all else that calls to me, she was the only black and tan (this farm has mostly creams) and i love the black and tan but shes a little more shy (her momma is warey of people) so i know she could definatly be a challenge, shes the one im not 100% sure on yet, im going back up there on monday or tuesday so ill spend a little more time around them and see for certain
If she does come home with me her name will be Poppy.
Seems shes naturally polled
so ive read fisaco famrs page a bajillion time, saved and printed out rolls bottle raising info too.
ive got a bag of the same feed the farm uses ready to go
their pen is secured and ready to go...
i need a good goat mineral (any suggestions in terms of brands to look for?)
and what else do i need in my "emergency" box.
I have a basic animal frist aid kit...but what baby goat specifics do i need.
the breeder is giving the CDT shot and a Cocci treatment beore they leave...
its amazing, ive spent over 2 years reasearchign all this and now the itme is drawing near my brain seems to have urned to mush lol.
im so excited lol.
