New Kids – Baby Milk Goats Have Arrived!

After much impatience on my part, our first set of baby goats have arrived – Cream had two little girl kids, or goatlets as I like to call them so as to not confuse them with my own children. *laughing*

And now, of course, pictures -

Goatlet #1 – A pretty little light-red, dappled roan kid with a bald face. Gorgeous.

Goatlet #2 – Darker red colored with a little bit of white on her face, and two tiny white spots on her back.

I have to admit – I’m glad these two are little girls as it bodes well for their future. :-) Two healthy females, already trying to get around and curious about who we are. I guess I need to figure out how to do this whole milk goat thing now, eh?

New Dairy Goats in our Oklahoma Backyard

Update March 3, 2009 – All the male kids have been reserved and one or two female kids. If we have more than two female kids we would have one available. Contact us to place your name on the waiting list.

Yesterday we added two LaMancha milk goats to our backyard menagerie. The great thing about living in Southeast Oklahoma is that nobody cares. *laughing*

Here is the most experienced doe, an experienced kidder and the heaviest producer. We’ve named her Cream.

LaMancha goats often have no or little visible ears.

She’s in winter coat right now but will slick out come summer’s warm weather.

Here is Crybaby, a 4 year old doe who’s calved with triplets once and twins once. She is very outgoing and the friendliest with the children.

They are both already trained to milk, tether, lead and load. Crybaby loves the kids already and is patient with their “love”.

We should have three or four kids that will be born in late March or early April and we may have one or two available. Contact us to reserve yours.
