Milking First Fresheners

You never know what you are going to get when you go to milk a first freshener.  Sometimes they settle down with barely a fuss, and sometimes they FIGHT!  Right now we have one of each.   Wendy barely made a fuss and stood still quietly while I milked mostly one-handed yesterday.  This morning she was perfectly fine with me milking two handed and didn't try to hold milk back.   It wouldn't surprise me at all if by next weekend she was eagerly waiting her turn to be milked and hoping up on the stanchion without any encouragement at all.

Alex on the other hand, has always been a stand offish doe who does not like to be touched!

Goats Visit Veterans

Picture
This past Saturday afternoon we took a few baby goats to the Oregon Veteran's Home in Lebanon.   A reporter was there and wrote up this story about the visit.  When the story hit the papers we started getting requests from other care faciliteis to please bring the babies in for their residents to see.

Baby Pictures

It is amazing to go from no kids to 8 little bouncing bundles of joy in just a week.  This afternoon they were out enjoying the afternoon and I couldn't resist grabbing the camera and snapping a few pictures.  

Clicking on the individual pictures in the gallery will enlarge them.

SEVEN doe kids for Finnius!

Picture
Last night in the space of about an hour we had seven doe kids born to Finnius from two does.  We knew Maple was in early labor and then were surprised to discover Wendy was in heavy labor.  We barely got a stall cleared out for her before she kidded a couple of very cute doe kids.

Shortly after Wendy kidded Maple got serious about producing her own set of offspring by Finnius.  She then proceeded to produce FIVE doe kids, although one was a very tiny stillborn.   The remaining four doe kids are all healthy and active.   Two of them will be available as bottle babies, I just have to figure out which two that will be.

Twins for Alexandra & Midnight

Picture
Late Thursday evening (4/2) Alexandra kidded with twin bucklings.  The kidding was quick and required no intervention.  Alexandra is being a very good dam and was not at all happy with me taking her boys for a quick photo shoot this afternoon.  This year we are naming all the wethers after Seahawks player so the first born kid (on the left) has been named "BamBam Kam and the second born is "ET3".
