Well...day before yesterday I got some updated pics of Penelope - our nubian doe, the last one we were waiting on to kid. She was due that day, the 10th...and looking MIGHTY close, but I knew I had a few more days to go...
Never got to upload and post the update, been SUPER crazy busy round the farm, and then today, JUST AFTER I finished feeding, guess who I noticed was in labor? YUP! PENELOPE!!
So I grabbed my birth stuff and waited, didn't have to wait long...we got ourselves another...little...BOY! BOO-URNS I declare on the boy parts...but he sure is a FEISTY little fella!
Look here...already in jail:
I saw 2 JET BLACK legs at first...and then that WHITE WHITE face! I WAS SO hoping for girl parts...
My best description so far is just "black and white roan"....he's got a LOT of roaning in his coat, almost looks blue in the sunlight he has so much white. THANKFULLY I have a home lined up already for him...OH! And he looks a little NOT nubian like because he is actually a MINI nubian!
And here is his fat-minded mama...having contractions and STILL eating hay! That's my greedy goats...can't stop munching even to have a baby, she had her breakfast about 30minutes before she kidded, and looked to be contracting then, which was why I grabbed my stuff and headed back out...
One more uneventful kidding down and now on to milking all summer
WooHoo girls good job done I say! (Except next year, just a few girls would be nice 
)
