Peachick, what breed are those goats?
Mini Silky Fainters according to the website. :) But what I want to know is if the fiber gets long enough and if it is good for handspinning or if it's too slippery and needs to be blended with something else like wool?
I thought they were fainters, I have two double registered fainters, one is half mini and I'm not sure if he's going to stay small or not. Mine aren't silky though.

@Patty- Luna is sooooooo cute! I can't get enough of babies! (which is why I don't breed my goats, I'd never be able to sell any babies!)

This is Polly, the only one Rambo didn't breed, before we lost him.

Not a very good photo, but just look at those eyelashes, makes you want to curl them.

This is Poppy, mum to Artorius, she was always the sweetie of the herd, would follow you everywhere, but a few weeks before birth and up to now, she is a little so and so.

She was beating Pepper up yesterday(herd queen), maybe there is a takeover bid going on!!!!

This is Chops, although he is a much bigger boy now. Also not a good photo, but if I remember, he was trying to eat my leg at the time.

OMG!! He is so cute! I just love babies. Does he have blue eyes?

I had a baby that was born with blue eyes, but they're not blue anymore. :(
Yes he has blue eyes, but Chops is half brother had blue eyes, now he doesn't soooooooo who knows. But he is sweet, there again I am biased.
