Six to Sixteen in Seven Days

We've had a very successful kidding season. Last Sunday we had six goats, this Sunday we have 16. What a week!

This morning our last nanny had twins. An 8lb solid black female, and a 7 1/4lb true brush goat colored female. She looks just like Jessica, kind of gray/white.
We have really enjoyed being present at so many of the births. We have also enjoyed watching some of the first goats born on our ranch back in 2009, now having kids of their own. We've come full circle. I am also so happy that all of these first time nannies are proving to be such attentive and nurturing mothers.

Kaden is already beginning to wrestle with the baby goats. His favorites are the brown ones and he says that brown is his favorite color. The kids born Monday are beginning to play and hop around and that just makes Kaden laugh and want to roll around with them. It is so cute to watch and hear him giggle.
Since all of the babies are doing so well we might start letting them out tomorrow, However, that will depend on the weather forecast and I've been so caught up in the maternity ward that I haven't seen the news all week.

We have ten cute new baby goats and they would love to see you. Come visit us anytime :)
