Here's a picture of the poor little guy.

How exciting! I’m SO happy that you have found a very supportive breeder that will mentor you along the way. I’m sure the journey into goats will be made much better by these mini Nubians. Just awesome!

I have an exciting update! The does are officially mine! Delivery is after Easter.

This is great! Congratulations on the start of a long journey filled with hard work, lots of love and lots of surprises. This will be fabulous for you!

Thank you @Baymule I am very excited.

Well, I bought another goat.
The same breeder that I am buying my does from has several bucklings available. All of the goats are related, so I am buying a buckling - soon to be wethered. He is the twin brother of the light brown doeling.

I also have a deposit on a well bred buckling. He is coming home with us in May. The young wether will be the companion for that buckling. The buckling will be our herd sire in a year and a half/two years when the doelings are old enough to be bred. In the meantime, the boys will have an awesome bachelor pad, and the does will be able to make funny faces at them from across the pasture.

It is time for a picture and name reveal! Helen comes with her name. But she is too pretty not to include in the lineup!

Lovely goats with lovely names!

Thank you @Baymule we are having so much fun watching it all come together. But I will be relieved once everyone is settled in and all the big projects are done.

It’s real nice when you can finally enter that “maintenance mode”. LOL
