Lyla Marie Kidded!!



One of my favorite does, Lyla Marie kidded early Saturday morning; her single blue-eyed doeling was born around 3:30am.

Friday afternoon, Lyla was getting started with little contractions here and there, talking a lot and trying to get comfortable. As I got her arranged in her kidding stall, I told her that about 15 months ago, I watched Lyla and her siblings being born. I cleaned off her nose and helped her get latched onto her mom's udder. It was pretty endearing for me to see "my baby" grow up and have her own kids. :)

This delivery was a little trying. She presented correctly but was quite large (4+ lbs.) I helped her along by pulling. Lyla is a wonderful mother; so very attentive and loving. I'm so proud of her! Her doe kid is absolutely gorgeous! I am so, so tempted to keep her and just might do that! :D

"Singing" Goats ;)




I just took these pictures of Honey's new buckling yesterday. He was "singing" to us. ;) Well, more like yelling at the top of his lungs for his momma. ;) It was picture time here and as you can see, he was quite upset with me!! Hee-hee. :)
We have several babies for sale, including the buckling above. So, if you're looking to add some cute Nigerian Dwarf goats, let me know!! :D
