More Baby Goats!!

Well, Saturday night Grandma Maggie (Laports Mahogany Sage) kidded. She had a buckling and doeling, and we are keeping the doeling. They both have really nice long ears. Their dad is PawPaw Nin Junior Mint.
      When my mom had to get up to feed Maggie's kids at about 5:00am, her alarm went off and she snoozed it, then she woke up at 5:15am and got the bottles ready. She realized she had to check on Maggie's daughter (Free Spirit Rosemary), that was due any time. So, she went and checked on her, and sure enough she was licking off a little buckling. My mom woke me and my sister up to help her feed and take care of the kids. The buck that Rosie was bred to is Dreamy-Hollow Parker. We went to bed at about 6:00am, and woke back up to bottle and milk the goats at 8:00am. Both of the moms are straight nubian, and both of the dads are mini nubians.
