Great work Ben and Sunny! That is the most adorable little baby. I just wanna snuggle her!

Beautiful baby. Love seeing youth working with animals.

Very cute! Congratulations, and glad it went smoothly!

We weighed her-a little over six pounds! Is that big or average for a pygmy? Her sister is due in a few days but has twins, but I suppose they will be smaller given they have to share a living space

Congratulations!

Do you know what the sire (father) was? I'm guessing not pygmy or not full pygmy...

Pic of her and the sire-he is a registered pygmy so full pygmy as far as I know. They are both small, which is why I was shocked by the size of the kid---I figured small parents=small baby. Plus, baby had a front leg stuck backward and I could not get it out. I am so glad they are both doing great!

Edit: ok nevermind Thats the momma and the daddy, I was thinking it was the daddy and baby. Duh me, I need sleep!

She is just a doll! Im so glad your doe had a safe delivery!

That sounds big to me and I am used to full-size goats, i think I read on here the average is like 3 lbs or so for the small breed.

large breeds will range from a runt being 4 or 5 lbs to normal being 8 to 10 lbs and large being up to 13lbs, and I would guess a few on either end of that being out of the norm.

congrats on the healthy doeling.
