Shady Acres Kidding Thread 2014 Willa Kidded 4/5

[rebelINny]

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've been around here but glad to be back. It's almost that time again when my girl's drop their babies so I thought I would post the kidding thread. It's difficult this year because after a recent divorce I have my goats living at a friend's house so I can't be as vigilant as I normally would be. I have three does to kid and they are all due the second week of Feb, so we have just a couple weeks or less.
This is Freckles and her kid from two years ago.

Willa

I do not have a current picture of Mocha the third doe but she is Willa's mother and looks just like her without the white markings. So far Mocha has a bit of an udder and is looking puffy in the back. The other two are beginning to look puffy in the back too but no visible udders yet. Oh and the buck they were bred to is Thor. This is him at 6 months old (previous owner trimmed his sides).

Well I am too impatient and my bf is a total goat enabler right now so we just reserved a buck kid to add to the herd when he is weaned. This is him...Alastar.

Handsome lad!

Eagerly awaiting baby pictures and thinking pink for you!

Thanks so much animalmom! I've got the baby goat itch bad right now lol and I really want some pink though I really want to keep a buckling from this batch since I sold their sire and he was the best ever!

Well I am going to look at two replacement doe's on Saturday. If they are good looking, good milking doe's I will be buying them. I'm selling both Mocha and Freckles this year and I need replacements. So, one is an Alpine and the other is a Lamancha. Both registered, and both bred by a registered French Alpine buck and due to kid in April. Hoping to get another like of mini's started with these two. Wish me luck
