More New Arrivals. . .

The kid pen is filling up! Yesterday brought the arrival of two more Saanens, one doe and one buck out of our first freshening two-year-old Serafina. Serafina freshened with a beautiful udder with a large area of attachment and tremendous foreudder extension. We will be retaining the doe kid, the buck kid will be offered for sale.

 

 Congratulations to Una Moon! She is a brand new goat owner, seen above with her lovely pied French Alpine doe kid. She and her parents were able to spend the day with us yesterday and had a lengthy introduction into goat ownership and helped us out tremendously, kidding a total of 5 new babies from Serafina and Luna.  This little doe will be joined by a Togg wether, and Una plans on him becoming the next champion in goat agility and pack training.

Luna gave us triplets again this year, Una's pied doe kid, a very tall Sundgau doe kid, and a cou blanc buck kid, shown above. The sundgau doe and the buck kid will be offered for sale, as we have already retained two of Luna's daughters in the herd.

Just waiting on Macy, she kept us up all night watching for her to go into active labor. Thank goodness for barn cams! Today we prepped the next group of does for kidding, they are dairy clipped and ready to go. Elina, Emilene, Lunetta, Francesca and Minney will kid next weekend. Hopefully the weather reports of a colossal ice / snow storm and extremely cold temperatures will change by then.
