The Fat Lady Has Sung

Well folks, the fat lady has finally sung. When I did my chores this morning I looked at my last pregnant goat closely. I knew it would be today or tomorrow but you know how they have been plotting to have their babies while I am gone? Well I decided to go to town and do a few errands; fooling her into thinking I would be gone long enough to have them without me. Hah, I fooled her good, came home sooner than she expected and caught her with the first beautiful little 6 pound doeling fresh on the ground. Look at those georgeuos spots.

 I quickly moved her into a birthing pen and waited some more. I was thinking that due to the size of this little girl and the huge size of mama I could get a whole lot more babies. A half hour later another kid is coming. Wow, another doeling! And she is super cute too. Black with a white splash and with a black spot right in the middle of the white splash. But she is huge compared to her sister, 8 pounds 4 ounces. Five minutes later another kid is coming, a buck this time and he is big too at 8pounds. Again super cute, tons of spots! Here is a shot of mama drying off babies.

 I sort of expected at least one more kid due to shear size of mama lately but I guess those big kids were taking up a lot of space.

 Here are all three

All of my waiting has been worth it and God has surely blessed me. Now I am excited to get enough milk to make some cheese.
