EggsforIHOP's kidding thread ...THE LAST BABY OF THE SEASON IS HERE!!!

[20kidsonhill]

I just discovered a great topical lotion called Nu-stock, sold at feed stores, for dry itchy skin and mites. I have read many raving reviews about it since purchasing it and trying it on some of our goats and an itchy spot on our dog.

You may want to try it on a couple of her worst spots. I realize with allergies, it wont cure her. but it may help. It is a little messy to put on, so that is why I suggest just localized spots that are the worse.

the goats are adorable but your Shar-pei is BEAUTIFUL. I just got out of the business of Shar-pei Breeding

That's what I thought too!

UP NEXT....IS POMEGRANATE!!!

Gravity has taken hold of her preggo belly as of yesterday...SHE HAS DROPPED from chubby round belly to belly dragging mama....

And her udder has gone from lemon sized cute little beginnings of an udder to a full handful of pink Saanen udder loveliness:

(and of course this was post-shaving-clippers catching on fire and smoking - trying to escape like crazy before I set her hiney on fire snao that photo fast Pomegranate...poor girl, she was SO quiet the whole time, until I saw smoke from the clippers...)


She that face...NOT amused at all with the goings on around her and CERTAINLY peeved about the lack of more alfalfa goodies in that dish...Pom says "WHERE'S MY TREATS FOOL?"

DUE DATE???? COULD NOT TELL YA AT THIS POINT! My stupid computer crashed and I wasn't able to rescue my little "goat files" since she was bred I THINK in October during much madness around here...I'm just guessing at this point...SO SHE SHOULD BE DUE 3/20 IF and only IF my memory serves me correctly...so if my memory DOES NOT serve me, which is more often the case than not, then it could be anytime between now and next year...because that's life for me...

So...lesson learned...all goat records are now online thru easykeeper AND are written down in a notebook AND saved to my cell phone...and now we wait on Pomegranate...

Love the little Pomegranete of loveliness...

Beautiful girls you got and those little fellas are just adorable!

Thank's ya'll....Pomegranate is my other favorite...I have a thing for the Saanens, I REALLY do! Then I got to feeling bad because I didn't put anything up about my little Penelope...She's I THINK the last one to go...once again should memory serve me she is due April 12th...unless I have it all mixed up...could just be taxes due that day lol I'm doing good to recall if I ate breakfast most days, let alone what it was!

So....I guess since it could also be Penelope up next if I am confused I should post her? Just in case...


Here's her hoo hoo pics, her's looks WAY more ready than Pom of course, and Penelope's ligs are already half gone...

And the udder she has been sprouting this week:

Baby belly not so big....but for sure feeling hooves tap dancing in there at this point:

And you gotta admit that;s a kinda neat marking on that side...it reminds me of the KoolAid man, but empty since it's not red


I'm expecting singles out of both girls and I am HOPING AND PRAYING FOR AT LEAST ONE DOELING!

Since we let the nigi's go to build on the bigger goats, I am kinda kicking myself in the pants....if only because we are just going to have the 3 does in milk...and I SWEAR if I get ALL BOYS out of 3 DOES that I will cry...I will...I just want one little girl for myself....

OH! And Queen Mum I thought of you a little If anyone asks Who the Baby Daddy is...well...it's our nigerian buck Edan, the only "small" goat I kept. He has blue eyes and great genes on his side...so I am REALLY hoping for a mini-nubian or mini-saanen doe to keep out of them....with BLUE eyes would be a plus...but if all I get is the girl part filled on that order I would still be pleased!

Not his best pic - this was another "make the goats mad as possible pen them down and trim their feet day"...but you can see his chubby dwarf body and pretty chocolate coloring...and yes, he went on a diet after this pic was taken...fat little thing was just getting browse/pasture during a DROUGHT and I had to move him to a dry lot type set up to get his easy keeping behind in shape!

Anyways...that's where my little herd stands...udders a popping and hoohoos a swollen and hoping for PINK here!

I love Saanens, I really want some. Sables too.

Can't wait to see the little babies!

You know...I've NEVER met a sable goat in person. I LOVE the fun colors and patterns of things like Nubians and Alpines...but the personality of the Saanen can't be beat for me! I would LOVE a chance to meet a herd of Sable goats just to see if they were anything like their cousins the saanens...I really would....

but then I would probably be changing my mind and adding another type of goat to my herd wouldn't I? On second thought...I better stay away from any sable herds....


I know I can't wait to see the babies either! I got a few good kicks today while I was out there rubbing bellies earlier (from the kids not the does of course) and I just got all pitiful excited and started talking to them....if the goats don't think I am crazy I know the neighbor does by now!
