Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

We have kids!

Spellbound had doeling/buckling twins, both buckskin with grey eyes (blue in the center, brown on the outer rim). Spelly likes to give me kids with these eyes. She has blue eyes, but 6 of her kids have had these grey eyes, that start out looking blueish grey and end up looking a pale brown later. The buckling has moonspots. One of his ears is a huge moonspot so he has different colored ears. Both kids are huge and very active already! They are built pretty solid like mom and their faces already look more dairy like dad. They are our first Armani kids!

Here they are about 2 hours old.

I tried to get more pics of Stinkers boys but my camera ate up all the juice in the batteries so I will try again later. They are both really nice looking, very dairy styled kids, like their mom.

OK, I need those spots. But as much as you like spots I bet you are keeping him. They are adorable.

If you thought he was cute before, check out this picture......mid yawn!

I do love spots and I was thinking I really do want to keep him.... he is a half brother to Flash anyways. Same mom, different dad. She is a really good mom too. She couldn't lay down to take a minute to pass the placenta cause these kids are cry baby, eating machines (with excellent sets of lungs I might add!) and they would try to eat or start crying every time she would lay down, so she just stayed up tending to them. We decided to try holding them to "babysit" for her, but I guess we didn't cut it. She had to keep checking every time they squeaked, which was often.

StinkerBelles boys (Spelly is in the background, Stinker was kicked out for being a meany pants to the new kids, bit the little boy hard enough to make him cry and pulled out a large chunk of fur!!!)
Kid #2

Kid #1

This is Kenny the mini nubian. I think he is really looking nice for an F1. He has blue eyes and a small chocolate moonspot as a bonus. He has a very sweet temperament, but he will be for sale. Hopefully I can find a nice mini nubian buckling when I am ready for one. So far I am not very impressed with most of what I have seen out here.

Darn he is cute...but related... That's ok, you just saved me from myself. I hate having to swap out bucks every few years. But I need to make a mini alpine buck next year so I can breed him to all of the does I am keeping this year. I think I am keeping one buckling and will go ahead a breed him to his half sisters, but I would really like to have one not so closely related.

Stinker's boys look like Flash, really cute. So do you more nigis coming later or are you done?

That is a cute little mini Nubian. @Southern by choice has some nice minis...to bad she in in NC.

Reese is due May 28. She scares me. She is the size Stinker and Spelly were and she still has 2 months to go!!! She had 5 last year. Hope she is just well fed with trips. These kids won't be related to Flash.

I also bred Little Italy to Backyard Swagger for June kids. UHHH!!! I hate kidding that late because of the heat! Anyhow, Captain Jack was Swaggers grandpa. His moms dad. He also has Casanova (Castle Rock lines) and Georgia (Copper Penny) in there so he should have lots of milk to bring to the breeding party. And neither of them are black so odds are against the black and white....not perfectly though since Jack (chocolate buckskin) and Little Italy (chocolate buckskin with red) gave me Pearl and she is black and white.

Katastrophe missed getting bred so I am contemplating breeding her for fall/winter kids if neither of those combos interest you.

So why do you have to live on the other side of the EARTH?
I know what you mean, I am having a hard time finding anything I like too. I need a buckling! I am on a search...

I have Elliot still! He is gorgeous! Don't have current pics but here he is as a baby! His dams udder is beautiful!
