So this morning, Star didn't eat her breakfast, and her ligaments were totally gone.....
I knew it would be today.
The Youngun got up and said.....
"Mama, I'm really not....."
And I said....
"Good, why don't you stay home and keep an eye on Star!!"
So she did, and I"m glad because I got email updates all day for when this happened...
Three huge babies!! All healthy, all sassy and all too sweet to believe!
We've got two doelings....
The doelings together, they are still wet, so you can't see much....
Until she's dried off! This is Merida and I'm in love with her already.....She's my keeper doe!
And this is the other doeling, who is quite precious in her own right, and has a really SUPER cute face...
She will be going to Jennifer at Our Little Farm.
And a HUGE buckling....
Look how big this hunk is! He's already almost half as tall as his momma!
So Star did great, and The Youngun did great for her first time mid-wifing a goat!
I'll leave you with a few more pictures....
Merida and Momma
Jen's baby...
Merida having a snack...
Again with an eating Merida...
Sometimes a gal is just too tall and needs to lay down while eating....
Jen's fancy little girl....
Hunk Papa is tired from the being born and all...
Me telling Star what an EXCELLENT job she did....
And finally Merida and I sharing the first of many kisses to come!!
Thank you Lord for healthy babies, and for this life you've given us!!
Till next time.....
God Bless,
What exciting news! Well done Youngun! Congratulations to you all. Beautiful babies. So glad it went well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh! The Youngun did a great job and I'm so glad she was there!
DeleteCongratulations on 3 beautiful, healthy kids and momma. So glad everything went great! Love Merida spots. Cant wait to meet my little doeling in person. What color is that buckling? Hopefully Tulip will be kidding soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy and excited! Just went to check on them one more time before bed, they are all great! I'm getting up early so I can play with them before work!
DeleteSo great to hear. Your such a great momma.
DeleteCongratulations!! Such beautiful babies! Merida would have been my pick, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really was hard to choose, but she's what I've always wanted with those spots!
DeleteIt is a blessed life, isn't it, Goodwife? You just can't beat it with a stick. I'm glad you had healthy, beautiful babies. Now, I want to see what Tulip has..... It's funny when you get to know your blogger friend's animal's names......

Yes it is blessed, and I have no words to describe my thankfulness! I'm excited to see what Tulip has as well, and will be posting about her very soon...
DeleteOh my goodness, how precious! Congratulations on your lovely kids and so glad mamma is doing well, too. They are all so cute, but Merida's moonspots are so incredible. Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm so excited about Merida's coloring! Can't wait to watch her grow and change!
DeleteGreat, happy post! Three new babies to enjoy. Congrats to the Youngin' for doing a great first job of midwifing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to all of you ~ FlowerLady
Happy Spring to you!! Thanks!
DeleteMy husband couldn't get on with keeping goats, but I think that in a year or so I might try and encourage him to have another go at keeping one or two. But three! In one go. Crikey, now that is a real gem of a goat you have there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vera! I think you should try again, but of course I'm biased, because I love goats! I think the key is finding the "right" goat. You've got to find the one with the personality that you like, and then it's just a joy!
DeleteThey are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI should mention that if you want a handsome spotted Kinder buckling to keep the spots coming, I have several adorable choices available. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Don't think my brain hasn't gone there already..........it actually went there as soon as I saw your kids!! And you are within a reasonable driving distance as well.......... :)
DeleteI don't know if you're set up for a buck or ready for one (or even want one at all), but you're welcome to contact me at 5acresandadream at mail dot com anytime. Like you I love the spots and I do want my kids to go to good homes. :)
DeleteThanks Leigh! I actually have a buck, that little Nigerian that we call Ollie. But it would be nice to have a spotted Kinder buck. I'll think about it and pray about it, and talk with The Man about it and will keep your email! :) Thanks!
