I wish it was a moonspot but I know it's not. They can not be white, and it is bright white. I wish it was though. 
It may be just a spot. That would be nice anyway. I'll have to see if it changes over time like Jasper did.

Oh OK I thought it was grey not white...some times it's hard to tell the true color in a pic. Too bad! Either way he's still a cutie!

Well an update.
Lucie was doing very poorly. We were scared we were going to lose her, So advised by the vet yesterday we began giving pen shots daily until 3-5 days pass. Little Jack is doing good. Such a snuggler.
She looked much much better today and was nearly back to normal, but yesterday we noticed little jack was having some trouble nursing so we tried to milk her out a little and her milk was all clumpy in one side. We freaked out, and thought mastitis so we milked it out as best as we good but we have never dealt with it before so we didn't quite know what to do. After talking to a friend, the vet, and reading on the internet we washed her up, and tried to milk her all out today, and massaged her udder for quite a while. I'm not sure if I got everything. Nothing more was coming, but her udder wasn't flat. I can't remember from last year, if her udder gets flat or not when it's dry. Anyway, it wasn't clumpy nearly at all today so now I'm thinking she just has too much milk from only feeding one baby. I'll go ahead and get medicine tomorrow to keep on hand and keep milking her out. But I think I just had a false scare thank goodness. Hopefully tomorrow she will be all back to normal.
Babies are due wednesday and thursday. I think they will come a day earlier.

Congrats on the buckling and sorry about the doeling. That would have been soooooo scary. Glad you were able to make it through without a vet and saved your doe and her kid. Good luck to you with the others that are due to be kidding. God bless.

Well I was happily taking a nap when my mom woke me up in a hurry saying Meg had her baby. We rush outside and find this cute little doeling, almost dry, no mess anywhere, and Meg doing a fine job feeding and cleaning her. Boy was I relieved. Last year Meg rejected her baby, so we were worried we would be stuck with a bottle baby with our trip in a few days. If Meg hadn't cared for her baby we would be selling her, but she has redeemed herself.
She is a little cutie. Long long legs. She seems so akward and falls down a lot. Glad there is one less goat to worry about now. 2 down, 3 to go.
Look at that face. She is not at all happy about being out of her warm and cozy momma.
Side shot. She has these hilarious long ears.
As you can see when they are born there ears hang down. Within just a few minutes their ears snap up and out.
Thinking of a name for her. Open for suggestions.
She will be for sale. Should be a bigger goat, and a great milker!
