More Babies

Born around noon today.  They were dry and healthy when I found them around 4 pm.  One Nanny and one Billy again.

That makes 13 kids born in 2013, 15 kids born in the 2 years since Patsy gave us the goats. That is not even counting the 2 we gave away. We have 19 all told now, with 8 billies and 11 nannies.  We are going to sell all the billies except for Hot Rod that will be our herd billy next year.  We will wait for nice weather, probably around March or April before we sell them.  Sam says not to make wethers of them.  They will sell better as billies, so that is what we will do.


The one in front is the billy, in back is the nanny.




Nanny on the right.  The nanny is mostly white with a blaze face.  The billy has brown stockings.


I think I will call the nanny Molly and the nanny born in Christmas Holly.  This billy can be boots, but if we are selling the billies, their names are not very important.



This is Christmas Carol and Nick, born December 18.  They are really tiny, but healthy.


These are the two born on Christmas day.  The billy on the left Hannah named Nate. She wanted to name the nanny Katie, but I am thinking Holly.  We will see.  The nanny is the black one in the back.  These two and the two born today are bigger and have much longer legs than the ones born to all the little nannies.


This is Baby Grey, almost as big as her mother, and my favorite of the whole baby bunch. She is about 11 weeks old now.
