New Arrivals

I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a Nubian breeder friend that needed a home for a young doe and her 2 babies. The doe had hurt her hip and would not be able to show, plus needed a bit of TLC to get her back on her feet. It was just a bit more than she could deal with so asked me to take them.

Bob and I made the drive over the weekend to pick her up. Her name is Tina and she came complete with 2 boys that I've nicknamed the "monsters" just because they are so bulky. Tina is a doll and will have a long recovery, but I am confident that she can shine again one day. We are taking things one day at a time and she is improving every day.

They have an outstanding pedigree and should be a real asset to the herd once she recovers. We're bottle feeding the boys but leaving them with her for now to help her adjust to our herd.
