I found these two kids this morning. I did not have the doe in the kidding stall as she still had another couple of days. Surprise! One buck and one doe. The two does I do have in the kidding stalls are still hanging on to theirs. Goats...never a dull moment!
This one is the little buck.
The one hiding under mama is the little doe.
After this excitement I went in to clean the pig stall and play with the baby pigs for a few minutes. You can almost see them growing! All 8 of them are still doing fine.
Yesterday I snitched one out of the pen to show the Marine. Every picture I took blurred. Those little critters move fast and are loud when you take them away from Mama. This one was screaming to high heaven by the time I got it back to the pen. Good thing Miss Piggy is so mild mannered or I may would have gotten beat up. She still wasn't too pleased with making her baby squeal!
A sure sign of spring indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the new spring critters Rob. We have pear trees, blueberry bushes and plum trees blooming. If we don't get another hard freeze maybe we'll have fruit this year.
DeleteBabies galore!!! They are adorable!!! Congratulations :)))))
ReplyDeleteThe two kids were a surprise Kelly. I have 3 does who look like they could start into labor any time. If they don't have them by the time Walking Dead goes off and I do my last check...maybe I will find more tomorrow!
DeleteHow exciting!!!! Post pics :) I still have 45 days to wait.... I pray for a doe this time. I need more goats :)
DeleteWe all need more goats....LOL We now have 20 newborns on the ground and one more doe to give birth!
DeleteI've never had goats, but probably would if my wife wasn't so against it. I've never kept pigs or chickens, either, though my grandparents did. I used to raise rabbits and cattle. I miss the thrill of seeing the new ones, so I really enjoyed this post and your last.
ReplyDeleteGS...I have never raised cattle but may want one or two one day. The kids raised some rabbits when they were little but not for meat. I am enjoying my first piggies and the new kids are always fun. Take your wife to a goat farm. She may change her mind! In the meanwhile I am glad you can live vicariously through my blog and others.
DeleteAhhhh the baby pig squeal there is nothing else in the world quite like it :)
ReplyDeleteCute goats.
Preppy...I thought about what you said when that baby went to squealing!
DeleteToo cute for words. There are baby goats all over the fields around here. Their feet have springs.
ReplyDeleteTewshooz..We now have them all over the pens too! Springs on their feet is a very good description!
DeleteJust awesome! Little miracles...
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am very tired this week, I am loving every minute of it!
DeleteMamma - i have just been catching up on all of your latest posts and my goodness you have been a busy "Mamma". all of those babies are so cute, and although adorable and fun to watch, they must be a ton of work! i am glad that The Marine got to see one of the babies. oh one last thing - a big congrats to Grandson!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Thank you kymber... I have gotten behind on the blogs too. It is finally quiet today so I can read some. Grandson did great!
Deletehugs!
Awwwww... all the babies are cute. watching them grow will be exciting too. That little buck though is just adorable. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI could watch them all day Glock Mom. The bucks will be sold as soon as they are weaned. Papa Bear gets too attached to them. We would go bankrupt feeding all of his "pets"
DeleteCongrats on the healthy new goats!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurel and thanks for stopping by!
