New goats are here (pics)

[Roll farms]

I was going to wait to post about it until I got them, but I'm too excited.

You can't replace special goats who meant the world to you, but I have to replace the milk / kids I won't be getting since I lost Hillary and Doodle.

SO....tomorrow we're heading to Defiance, OH to pick up 2-4 new Nubians....I've seen some pics but want to "meet" them before I pick any out. There are 1 or 2 does in milk and 6 doelings to choose from. The seller has been breeding Nubians for 30 years and one of the qualities (after production / hardiness) she most emphasizes is a "calm / quiet" attitude.
She used to show but now her work schedule won't allow her to. She has some of the best "old school" pedigrees I've seen in a long, long time....hoping for some big, sound girls.

Leaving at 7am, should (hopefully) be home by noon, pics as soon as possible after that...

Have a fun trip! Hope you like what you see and can't wait for pics!

Have a safe journey and congratulations! The rest of us who've owned Nubians in the past would certainly like to see photographs of what a 'calm' Nubian looks like! Maybe that's a new breed?!

Oh congratz!

I'm picking up my own 3 nubian babies from top champion blood-lines in about a week. Spotted too. Can't wait can't wait!

Glad we can share this excitement. Too bad you get yours before me. I'm about to go crazy waiting.

Congrats I can't wait to see pictures of the new ones. I hope they don't all have frosted ears.

Did I say 2 or 3?

How about 4....

I wanted older (adult) does if possible, she had 2 milkers for sale but the other one didn't produce much. Soooo...this is Risque -

She's never going to be a showgirl, but she's solidly built and produces 1g a day. She's a bit of a pudge, she'll be slimming down some hopefully.

Here are the 3 new kids...because I guess I thought I needed 3 more bottle babies...

Actually, DH fell in love w/ this one:

Her name is potentially "Country Charm's GO-Dacious" (DH's idea - Sire's name is Game On)

And I thought this little girl had potential....

"Country Charm Rock's _______"
(ideas? - sire's name is Rock it Man -he's a half bro to my buck, Chaos - dam's side)

But we BOTH wanted this one....Side A

Side B

"Country Charm GO-______"
(I'm a huge Colts fan, thinking either "GO Colts, GO Blue" or some such, since she's blue / white roan.)

#1 and 3 kids are sisters, of triplets....lots of Jacob's Pride in their ped.

eta, yes, darn it, all have frosted ears. *SIGH*
And...come on and move in, but I'ma make you shovel goat poop.
