Oh man, she is a brat! She better not try to hurt those babies... At my house she'd probably get beaten up and put in her place here...my herd queen does NOT play!

The last real brat I had (daughter of the herd queen) lives somewhere else now...she was just horrible...and her daughter that I retained is trying to follow in her footsteps.... GOATS!!! ugh

Exactly! Since our herd is split up right now and until spring time she gets to do what she wants as she isn't getting bred so can't go outside in the pen with the older ladies (Buck is with them for the winter). Cece is in the barn as well due to her health and lack of weight coming into winter plus she can't be bred either since she just had quads and was in no shape for those let alone breeding again. She really threw off all of our breeding plans OH WELL, we love her anyways

Always a trouble maker in every herd, lol. But, sometimes they're worth the trouble.

She is! She is really turning out very nice typed and she is such a lover.... just needs to NOT hit and be a brat throwing tantrums when she wants something....

I think we have several trouble makers

We have finally decided on names for the boys Only took 6 weeks but Bosko & Lenny it is! This goat mom is tired and ready to be done with these bottle kids because, let's face it... They are JERKS. I have never had two goats that PLAY with their bottle more than eat it. They dilly dally, they head bump, they are more concerned with the other one than they are with their own bottle. It has been beyond frustrating for me because they take forever to eat a bottle. Bosko is just more concerned with kisses than anything and BOTH of them LOVE it when they get me flustered. They are in the barn now though!

Well, we rang in the new year at home in -60 some degrees with the windchills and gladly did so. The truck was jelled up and it was just miserably cold. Last week, sadly, we lost our buck KitKat to bloat and shortly after that we lost Bosko to pneumonia and last night, before our eyes Lenny failed so suddenly that I have never seen anything like it in my life. He was normal and himself one minute and quickly weakened before suddenly passing. Unfortunately they were delayed and struggled to grasp the simplest of functions like taking a bottle and drinking out of a bucket or eating grain. All five of the girls are doing good however and even Cece is fat and happy compared to previously.
