Twin doelings out of Missy the Alpine. Born yesterday afternoon. :) Both are Alpine marked, but airplane ears.

Now speak of the devil, I looked at my Alpine at 4 o'clock yesterday when I got home, was out feeding and my boy comes up and says she has a baby, when just an hour earlier she wasn't in any sort of labor signs at all.

I haven't canned chicken yet. I'm not sure I want to, lol. It kind of reminds me of those whole chicken in a can things, lol. I have some leftover parts from the processor that is going to go in with rice for dog food though. Missy the Alpine kidded yesterday afternoon. Twin doelings, both are...

I agree, doesn't look like a FF. It's hard to tell when they'll go though. I have an Alpine I got at the end of February, she had a bag on her with milk, so I expected soon... Her bag and belly have grown, but she still hasn't kidded. I'd say yours has at least a month, if not longer, to go yet...

That's pretty much it, I started out with the pygmy/Nigerians but they don't produce enough in meat or milk to be worth the trouble for my family, they did sell well though, lots of folks like little cute goats instead of the big ones. Actually, started out more for the milk part, but DH, after...

So we have recently decided to change our goals at the farm. We've narrowed it down to two breeds of goat, Boers and Nubians - I still have one oddball Alpine doe though, but I'll be keeping her until she goes from old age, she's a nice doe with a huge udder and still hasn't kidded so I have no...

I wish I had half of that grass right now!

Oh, and this is the mom to the two new babies. She's a big girl, this was taken a couple of days before she kidded, those are 5 ft horse panels behind her.

Because everyone needs a butt pic of goats...this is Missy, no clue when she's due.

Exactly, though "no good horse is a bad color" but that wild color did throw me for a loop. Dad isn't spotted, neither is Mom. These guys are Kiko/Boer X Nubian, Millie was bred when I got her. That buckling might make someone a nice commercial buck or a show wether depending on how he turns...

We have new babies. 4/7/18 Millie (Nubian) had triplets. 2 does and a buck. One of the doelings was small, and while we tried everything, she ended up passing in my arms last night. We still have Missy, the Alpine due...????? then nothing until June, and one in August. Spotted is the buck (of...

I haven't done a photo dump in awhile. It's overcast so not the best photos, but eh... First is "Spoiled" a 3 year old commercial Boer doe. She's a real peachy, very friendly and nice. She is bred to Crusader, our PB Boer buck and should kid in August. Last one of the year. Betty in the...

Now that's something I don't have to deal with, DH will help me gut and skin and all that. He doesn't give shots, that's on me, but as far as processing animals he's good with it. He's actually really handy with the gross things, including changing nasty diapers. But, remembering how much to...

Lol, that thought did cross my mind but I also thought that might be a bit much to ask. I just told him to look for any slime and if there wasn't any, good deal. I'm sure everyone wants to go out to look for slime on the rear end of a goat!

@Wehner Homestead I have 5 children, DH has 3 more so we have a total of 8, ranging from 20 to 1 year old. "About time" is right, lol. I got the nurses notes from my visit from my friend (signed a release so she could print it all off) I knew something was wrong with the whole Ativan thing...

I told the other nurse in the pre-op area what happened when I was trying to escape and she went and printed out grievance forms and said when I felt better to write it all down and submit it because it was BS. She was very nice to me and treated me well and said that behavior was not acceptable...

I did get to go home on Sunday. So, this may be a TMI moment for the guys, and I suggest you don't read further if you don't want to know about "girl parts", lol. I had a tubal done, because I'm done having kids (about time, right?). I woke up to them removing the trach tube, coughing and...

The fresh pig meat is amazing. DH cut a loin into medallions and seared it while I made a garlic and onion cream sauce. It was very tender with great flavor. On an unrelated note I am in the hospital. I had a minor outpatient surgery yesterday morning and it didn’t go very well so I was...

Hey nice reminder, the Rattlesnake festival is coming up, it's only about 10-15 miles from the house and something to do, lol. I don't know what it is but I am a bit more picky about what parts I'll eat off a pig. I draw the line at chitterlings, feet, jowls. Chitterlings mainly because I can't...

Yeah I don't think I'm about to find out any time soon. I have no problem with calf fries, but from a pig? Pass!
