There is one mother left to kid. Quite a few of the kids were sold as bottle babies and a few went with their mothers to new homes. The last doe will be sold too, with her babies or without. Lots of people seem to be interested in the kids this year, however; many do not want to come to the farm to pick them up. This little fellow is the last of the quads. His little sister, who was so tiny, did not make it and the two big brothers were sold as pets, leaving just this little boy with his mamma. She is a great mother and is half Nigerian Dwarf, so has tons of milk. If he is sold, I may try to milk her and see if she will cooperate. The other doe for sale is the French Alpine, Sarah, and her female baby who is half Pygmy/Nygerian and half French Alpine. That will be it for the kids this year. We will be keeping one female only, Daria, Daphne's little girl.
The kids are so much fun to watch. They love to run and jump on their moms and on each other or any obstacle in their paths. Early evening is play time for them. The kidding season is always the one most looked forward to, even though the lambs are almost as cute. They are not quite as silly as the kids though. Aren't they adorable?
