Well, with the rain delaying the end of Shearing Season, the goats have decided to skip ahead to Kidding Season! Last Friday our sweet Nigerian Stella had quadruplet Nigora babies 😳🥰 Unfortunately the tiniest one did not make it, but her two buck kids and single doe kid are bouncing around having a blast. Their daddy is our gorgeous CAGBA registered buck Sven.
The Nigoras continued their lead when our 50/50 first freshener Whisper had two gorgeous doe kids this morning! Of course she had them standing out in the drizzling rain, because why would any respectable goat have her babies in the dry stall by the heat lamps?!?
A whole week of lovely weather and I bet we have four does kid this rainy weekend 🤦🏼♀️. Whisper is doing alright with her babies, but throws a feral goat fit every time I come around to check on her. Acting like she wasn’t born here and spent half her time trying to eat the clothes right off my body 😑🙄 Hopefully she will settle down once the surprise of new motherhood sinks in.
One of these days we will have full Angora babies, but these flashy Nigora kids are keeping us busy for now 🥰💜
