More does kidding!!

 Well, I have not posted for a long time. But Sunday (March 7th) one of our mini nubian does kidded. The kid was stuck pretty good. She only had one little blonde doeling (that we are keeping). We are calling her Blondie but we will probably be naming her "Blonde Bombshell". The sire to Blondie is SQSW Berry Blast, Berry is our blue eyed Nigerian buck. And, the dam is Urban Acres Blueberry Cream. Blueberry is a beautiful, 1st generation, blue eyed doe.

On Tuesday (March 9th) morning when my Mom went and got the milkers, one of the crossbred meat does had 2 doe kids in the barn! All dry and nursing. The mom is all black, the sire is our Boer buck Ace, and the kids are pure white! She is a great momma also. . . when we went out to get the milkers, all of the does were out of the barn standing quite a ways from it, and when Mom walked in with one of the dogs (Bear) to see what was going on, the doe came running at them! She's calmed down a bit now, but is still a good momma. She is also one of the herd queens. It was suppose to rain, and she would not let any of the other goats come in the barn. . . so mom and me went back out in the barn and made a stall in the barn with two panals and put the doe and her two kids in the stall.

                       

And then after we were done milking the goats when we went out to feed,  we heard a doe yelling in the barn, and one of the Full Blood Boers, Mini Moette, was pushing a kid out. She had a big, cute doeling with a dark brown head and a white spot on her head. . . sire is Ace. She was a first freshener but did not have any problems.

                          

Then Wednesday (March 10th) another one of my brothers boers kidded, she is a first freshener and did not need much help either. She kidded to one little doeling and one little buckling. But sad to say the doeling was not doing good since the beginning and she died Saturday morning (March 13th). The sire is also our big boer buck Ace.

We also had another doe kid late Wednesday night (March 10th). Aruba, one of our Alpine does, kidded. She had two big, beautiful bucklings, and a very easy birth. We were hoping for a doeling, but oh well.  She was bred to a registered Alpine buck before we bought her. We are keeping one of the bucklings (the big brown one).

Aruba (the mom):

The first buckling, the bigger one. He is chololate (it is called lavender) with white, and my Mom wants to keep him, so we are keeping him :) We are also naming him Sir Cadbury DooDooWee.

The other buckling. His coloring is called "cou blanc",
