Stinky Glen joined our herd on November 30th and in mid January Uncle Robert came over with an ultrasound machine he was borrowing from his vet to see who was pregnant. Most of them seemed to be pregnant with at least 1 or 2 kids, and when he came back to check again a few weeks later it looked like everyone was! So fun that he could check for us!
Daddy and the little girls especially love our goats!
On April 23rd our first kid was born to Baby. Sadie heard Baby making some noises and went out to check on her and came running back in soooo excited that she was having her baby. She had a girl which the kids named PeeWee.
Two days later on April 25th we went out to check on the goats after dinner found Sky and Vanilla under the tree by their shed with 6 babies between them. Uncle Robert came over on his way home and drew our attention to the fact that the kids may have gotten mixed up. Sky seemed to want to take all of the kids as her own, but we were pretty sure that only 4 of them were hers and that 2 belonged to Vanilla. So, Robert advised us to separate the two families so that they could bond properly with their new babies. The kids named Vanilla's babies Sugar and Cookie and Sky's babies were Spot, Squirmy Wormy, and two other equally silly names I'm sure.
On May 2nd Tina had her kids.
On May 6th Pepper had 2 kids also.
And Finally on May 19th Caramel had hers.
This was such a fun experience for the kids even amidst all the other craziness we had going on at the time.
