So, after 5 months work, Priya came forth with the goat kid crop. One. A boy name Charlemange. Could have wished for a girl, or twins, but one boy it is, and we will take it. I will have milk for my Coffee again. Mother and child doing well. Was born about 1 this aft, I was at work. Not sure, but I think he had been drinking. Just to make sure, I took a pop bottle with a nipple on it, and he scarfed down about 400 ml. Milked a litre and a half, left her with milk, but bag slack. Took pictures as you can see, to abide by the new rules for this part of the forum.

Baby goat here, three hens setting, one with chicks running around the yard. Spring is close by. Life is good.

OMG. He is super cute
Almost makes me want a goat again!
Almost. Lol
Glad both mom and kid are doing good
Congrats !!!!

Congrats!

That goat is pretty and the baby is waaaay cute.

I like goats milk, I used to buy it all the time because I can't drink cow's milk.

I want some mini goats, lol those babies are like toys that walk without batteries.

Ahhhh so cute! What a long name I can hear you running after him yelling his name and your neighbours thinking you finally lost it. Ha! Ha!

He will be Charlie. Charlemange is what it says on his drivers license.

Anyone interested in a pet goat or billy. Purebred, not papered from very good milk lines. He will be available in about two months, ready to breed in the fall if wanted. Will be dehorned and vaccinated and friendly and stuff. I can remove the pollen producing parts or not. Anyone interested is welcome to come and visit and discuss. He will be bad to the bone like all goats, much frustration and much pleasure.

Gorgeous kid, COngrats to Mum!

Good news! Good news!

Charlie will have a new home in June, will stay on his mom til then. Lady came and bought him yesterday for a breeding buck for the fall. Paid for him. Done deal. Good for him, good for me.

Little bucklings are sort of like roosters. You need one, but there are lots to choose from, not terrible much money, and sort of heartbreakers to let go, but you know you need to. And you sell them for whatever purpose the willing party buys him for, he's not yours any more, but its nice to know he's not destined for the frying pan.

So this one works out well for all. I am very pleased.

Well congratulations. Yes I bet its hard selling knowing its going to the frying pan, good for him that's not where hes going but you're right once you sell him you never know.
