Update! Yea!

It has been forever since I've updated this blog with my herd. Since I last posted, there has been a birth. Bailey gave birth to two wonderful little Nigora kids, dubbed Ron and Luna by their new owners. Some of these pictures are new, some old.

The entire herd!

I'll start from the beginning!

The kids were born on 24th of June in the wee hours of the morning. I actually didn't witness the birth! In fact, it was my father that found the kids (and I ran outside when he called with what he found). The two kids were both still wet, so it only just happened. Everybody was healthy and active. Bailey was attending her kids closely, and her kids readily nursed.

Shortly after birth, Ron had floppy ears, and Luna had airplane ears! Easy to tell apart!

Adorable Luna

Being born is hard work

 

Both kids have their father's blue eyes!

 As they grew, they stayed just as adorable! Their fur is incredibly soft and silky. Petting the Nigora kids is like petting a goat shaped bunny. 

Luna giving us her best smile. She has some incredibly airplane ears, now!

 At this point, Ron's ears are the same as Luna's. But he has bigger horns!

Of course, the other goat's have gotten their pictures taken. Yoko and her kid, Keweenaw Copper Lady (also called Cop or Copper). I added two new goats from Grasse Acres to my herd, as well! Johnnie Walker is my new blue eyes (possibly polled) buckling who is just a ham for attention. Winne (short for Winter is Coming) is an adorable little girl who is my mother's favorite!

Johnnie!

 He is such a sweetheart

Little Copper's registered name should have been "Piglet". She is a very chunky girl. She has yet to stop nursing from her mother!

 Yoko, the top goat of the herd!

I love her so much!

 

George, the tank. Really, he is stocky!

 Lastly, my lovely Suzie Q! Sure, her registered name isn't SuzQ, but that nickname certainly has stuck to her! It took her a while to reach her full potential, but now she is a grown girl!
