They are just so pretty! I love the spotted one especially. Congratulations! Just wait until you get cute little Nigerian babies bouncing around your farm.

Nice !!!! Our goats have new collars too !!!

I noticed that!

When I got goats, I swore I would never accessorize my animals. I swore!

Oh well!

Once I spent a whole $20 on a collar and a tag for one of my goats... :/ I was kind of embarrassed about it. It was for Caramel. But she was such a nut and she needed to be identifiable. I figured that if I was going to spend the money, I might as well get pink because she was just such a... pink frilly girly goat.

Then I spent $19.00 on just a tag for Mama. She still has it. Here is what it looks like...

Pretty snazzy huh? It matches her color and her personality.

Thats gorgeous ..... I mean who can not spoil goats ????

So the question is...

How do you plan to spoil your new girls and what accessory are you going to buy next?

Besides a barn, some feed, new fencing, a gate, some toys for them to climb on, a milkstand, a brand new bucket, a milk bucket, feed trays, top of the line hoof trimmers, a lead rope, a hay feeder...

Boy .... this morning was TOUGH.
I went into the barn to find a dead kid ....
She delivered too early. The kid might have lived if I had got there sooner .... but, she did not show any signs of labor !!! She wasn't going to kid till at least MARCH !!!!
The kid was a girl... (I think) Spotted.... Lovely... Just what I wanted. JUST what I wanted. To early though,
Kisses was licking her and standing over her and loving her. Even if the kid lived, Kisses wasn't ready .... She had a tiny udder and was not ready to feed a baby.
Kisses did not like me taking away her baby... She wanted to come with me out of the barn. She has been baaaing all day .. looking for her baby. She will not calm down
unless I sit and pet her. I also saw when her sack came out 2 little balls or kids... They were tiny compared to the first one. The first one was a normal size , the others,
small enough to fit in my hand. Was she bred twice ???? What happened??? Kisses would have been the BEST mom. She took off the ubilacord (I think)and made sure her baby was alright.
It just was not time to kid yet. I cleaned out the stall and put fresh bedding down. I just feel so bad hearing her baaaaa like that, searching all around to find her baby....
