Baby the goat had her babies today!

Male: 9 lbs
Male: 8.5 lbs

They are cleaned and separated from her, and walking around and bleating. :) I’ll give her another 40 minutes or so before I go out and milk her for the first time, and feed the boys.

Update!

Cream has twin doe’s Feb 27th around noon. Birth was easy and the kids cleaned up very well. They are learning to walk and I’ll get them weighed and fed in a couple of hours.

This brings the total up to 6 babies so far for 2007!

Hey Everyone,

Well with Cream having “only” twins it really looks like we’ll heading towards 9, that’s my guess anyways. We just have to wait for Patra and Ewenice. Patra being her first time will probably just have a single, but we’ve been surprised before.

We had our first fresh milk last night. Finally!
