Once again, we've been crazy busy...with little time to spend on the computer. We have finished kidding for December, with a much-needed easy birth. Back in January we nearly lost Faith when she had a difficult delivery of triplets. Yesterday she delivered a beautiful bouncing buckling ("Prince") with ease.
This was her 9th kidding, she cleaned him up....nursing him great....and gave me 4 doses of colostrum to put into the freezer. All this after milking all year. I don't think you can ask for more than that! It's no wonder she is my favorite goat!
Silly's twins are doing great, and they get prettier every day. The buckling, who we've named Hamburger Helper ("Burger") was 8# 8oz at birth....
Now at 8 days old weighs 12# 7oz. He is beautiful, and needs a home soon....
His sister, Queenacres Humble Heritage ("Rita") was 6# 6oz at birth....
And now is up to 9# 14oz. She will be staying here...
And of course, the baby that kicked off this round of kidding...Queenacres Holiday Hope ("Holly") started at 4# 15oz.....
...and turned 2 weeks old yesterday. She is a whopping 12# 3oz today...and one of the most striking kids we've ever had. She will be staying also.
Kidding for 2012 is over. We have been blessed.
Now we start our Christmas season!
