Just some fun pictures of Brown Sugar’s now one-week old buckling. He has certainly found his legs. All done. I’m so cute, I can get away with anything. It’s a good thing a mother’s love is so strong and they are so lightweight at this age. Hope this put a smile on your face, Karen
And Then There Are Eight
From two babies to eight. Here is how it happened. Wednesday was a busy day for our family. We all had appointments and thus were gone from late morning until mid-afternoon. We knew we had four goats with expected due dates this week so we checked on them before we left home. We have been […]
First Baby Nigerian Dwarf Goats of 2017
Brown Sugar gave birth to two adorable kids last Thursday. Meet the first babies of 2017. That is their heated dog crate. Since these two were born during 14° temperatures, Michael cut a hole in the top of the crate and inserted a heat lamp. Michael said when he was growing up, his uncle, who […]
Oreo, Bucklings, and Boys
When I last left you, we were on Thursday and a play date was scheduled. Michael would also be getting home that night. Joshua and Nicholas were a great help to me all week. As a matter of fact, the only reason the house was clean is because they cleaned it for me. A carpool […]
Baby Goats Just Keep Coming
It has been a really busy two weeks. I’m very behind on posting updates. We started on March 15 with Brown Sugar giving birth to THREE baby boys. Here are some pictures of them at four days old. (Remember, if you click on any picture it enlarges them) You don’t think I could only show […]
Ramblin Rose and Her Two Buds
Somewhere between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. on Saturday Ramblin Rose kidded. She had two beautiful bucklings. Here is one of them: What happened is, Michael told the boys they needed to take the first two hour shifts in the barn on Friday night/Saturday morning. Michael and Nicholas went out first and by 1:45 a.m. they […]
Two Fewer Goats
On Friday a nice family from Battleground Washington came down and bought Storm and Randy. It was really hard to see them go. I’m so grateful that they both went to the same home. I don’t think I would have sold them to two different homes. Because they are boys most farms don’t keep them. […]
A Variety of Happenings
While Michael was in St. Louis we had a tree limb fall. Michael took care of it when he returned home. I was hoping the limb would have destroyed a small tree that it is next to. I want to put an Italian Plum tree in that spot. It missed the tree. Now I have […]
Alien Babies
Our two newest additions to our herd went to see the vet on Wednesday. This is what they came home looking like… Randy Jessie Those silver colored circles are evidence that the babies have been disbudded. What on earth is DISBUDDING? It is the removal of their ability to grow horns. Most goats naturally grow […]
Video of Nigerian Dwarf Goat Babies
We are completely enamored with our new kids. Pictures are one thing but a video gives you a real life view of just how cute they are. Without further adieu I introduce you to the greatly animated kids of Salt Creek Acres. I hope this put a smile on your face. Enjoy […]
