We are Getting GOATS!

[Daycare Mom]

Congrats on your new critters! I am also a little jealous, but I am no where near ready for goats......yet!

Have fun! Can't wait to see the pics!

Can't believe I forgot to mention FiascoFarm!! That's a must read-through website for all goat owners. There is tons of fantastic info on everything goat related there.

If your goat already has a 'bag' of milk, could she have just had babies? You may want to have a vet check her out to see what might be going on with her.

They are here! I got some pics, but I am still working on getting them loaded.

I think they said she had twins earlier this year. Then the little black pygmy mix they bought "adopted" Nan as her mom. The two are still pretty bonded, but I haven't seen Tuffy nursing on her.

Cant wait to see them, but you probably cant take your eyes off of them! How neat!
Congratulations!

Nan and Tuffy

Nan's udder....my hubby is going out to check it to see if she may have mastitis or not.

Hello, I am not an expert, but I have raised nubians and boer goats and have also showed them. I would say that the buck is boer and La Mancha cross. The reason I say this is because of his ears. The doe is not a purebred Nubian. I would say more boer than anything else. This does not mean that you can't get milk from her. I would say that the other one has some nubian in him. They look like healthy goats. Good luck with them.

Yes, we were beginning to think the same thing. We were looking at Goats in Hobby Farms magazine, and these don't look like the Nubians we are looking at.

Do you think she looks pregnant? The previous owners said they think she is bred.

It is hard to tell if she is or not. But if I had to say, I would say yes. It looks like her belly sticks out at the sides.
