Jumpy Fun Goats

Thought I would post some of my best goat jumping pictures.  Aren't goat kids so cute and spunky?  Enjoy! 

 

Strawbaby Finally has Kids!

Welcome Raspberry and  Handsome born between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. on April 14.

On the left is the girl Raspberry and the right is the boy Handsome.

When I went out to feed, I opened the door to the inside heated stalls.  It was a dust bowl in there!  Strawbaby was the one responsible for pawing up the storm, a good sign she was in labor.  She was also hunched over and her tail ligaments were very gone.  She ate her breakfast grain and proceeded to eat the alfalfa.  I watched her while milking and figured I had time to go and feed the baby chicks.  Not 20 minutes later I went to check on Strawbaby.  At the gate leading into the paddock I heard little 'maas' coming from the open window of Strawbaby's stall.  "!"  Baby must be here!  I rushed to the window and saw Strawbaby laying down reaching back and licking Handsome.  "!"  I hurried inside and saw legs sticking out of the hay pile next to Handsome.  It was another baby!  I moved Raspberry out of the hay pile and put her next to Handsome.  Strawbaby proceeded to clean them like crazy.   So Strawbaby had a very easy birth and I missed it!  Strawbaby is a very good mother and they are all healthy and doing well.  God has blessed me with two more beautiful kids and a carrying mom.  This years kidding is done,  Thank you God for all my wonderful goatys.  Here are some more pictures of God's new gifts.

Oh, and to top the day off, Sunshine, my sister's cow, had a beautiful heifer!

Fun Outside, Sweetie goes Rock Climbing

Little Sweetie was able to come out and play in the sun yesterday.  Not yet two days old he is already rock climbing.  Isn't it amazing what strong instinct God gave them to climb and jump!  

Such a nice picture!

Trying to get on top!

The other babies were outside and Darling said hi.  Coco is a good mom and makes sure none of the kids get to ruff or bother Sweetie to much.

Makes Darling look so big and Sweetie so small.

Sweetie went for a walk, Coco followed.  The other babies were quite interested.

Who is that ?

The kids watching Sweetie, Little Daisy is so cute.

Suddenly Sweetie takes off!!!!

Look at Sweetie run!

The other kids follow but Coco doesn't let them get to close.  So Sweetie chases the other kids who leave because Coco is following right behind. 

They are still really interested with the new addition.

Little Daisy is so cute and funny.

But look at Darling !  What a good looking little spiky buck.  He thought he could take Coco on when Coco would chase him.  Not yet Darling.

Other pictures from the day after I put Sweetie back in the stall for a nap.

Yummy piece of hay

Lots of goatys
