Gypsy With Her Goats


Yesterday was such a pretty day.  We sure enjoyed being outside with the animals and we even managed to get quite a bit accomplished.  Gypsy was hard at work sticking close to a couple of the expectant moms.

Playdoe & Sarek's Boys


Well, I got pictures taken when they were born yesterday morning, but by the time we finally finished everything up last night, I was to tired (or lazy) to post.  No babies yet this morning, but the day is still young.  :)

Sarek delivered first at about 9:30 yesterday morning (3/14/13).  She had twin bucklings.


Within minutes after Sarek's delivery, Playdoe delivered triplet bucklings.  All five bucklings are absolutely gorgeous, but I was sure wanting at least one doeling out of each of these girls.

Helga's Twins


About 2:30 this afternoon, Helga delivered twins.  1 girl and 1 boy.


Rosie's Babies


Rosie kidded about 11:00 this morning with triplets.  2 boys and 1 girl.
Since the only Nubian buck we had at the time is her son, we bred Rosie to Alvin who is half Nubian and 1/2 LaMancha.  The little girl and one boy have ears 9Almost Nubian ears) and the other little boy doesn't have ears (like a LaMancha).


Raz's Babies


Raz kidded about 6:30 this morning with twins.  1 doeling and 1 buckling.

Ginko's Babies


Ginko just delivered a set of twins.  One girl and one boy.
Ginko is half Nubian and half LaMancha.  We bred her to Alvin, who is also half Nubian and half LaMancha.  The little boy does not have any ears, just like a LaMancha and the little girl has long ears, not as long as a Nubians, but more characteristic of a Nubian than a LaMancha.  ...........at least they didn't both have one of each ear.  : /  This is the first Nubian LaMancha cross that we have had that has ears that are longer than elf ears.
