I know you are excited about the Lamanchas! :hugs
If you get a Sundgau someone might have to restrain me... I'm not a Lamancha person (yet), but there's just something about Sundgau's... Someone may need to remind me to be sensible, I wouldn't have a way to get her here right now. :D
Seriously though, look forward to kidding season and seeing pics!!
 
Those little goats were so stinking cute! Speaking of stinking, when I had two does a few years ago my kids would let them in our house. I could tell the minute I walked through the door, lol. Does babies smell as bad as grown does?

Actually your grown does should not smell. Kids do not smell.
When we had all our kids in playpens and the big troughs the bedding they peed on would stink and it had to be changed constantly but the goats themselves really should not smell.
 
Ditto on SBC's reply

The pens are changed constantly. They aren't in LONG at all. Any smell is the hay used as bedding, not the kids.
 
Gave Ruth and Lucy (the first 2 up for kidding) their CD&T's today and trimmed their hooves.
Lucy's hooves never need trimmed. Ruth's on the other hand... those side walls grow so fast!

I'll share on our journal the rest of the going ons around the farm.
