The afternoon of June 25, 2009 I went out to the barn to check on the goats and found Sugar had given birth. She had two gorgous white kids with her. They were both boys.

I am happy to announce that everyone is doing well. The goat kids are so cute the way they jump around. Sugar is such a good mother to them. I can’t wait until the other does give birth!

The birth went well, there were no complications. In fact, Sugar did everything. That was a relief. I was prepared in case something went wrong. I hope the remainder of the births go as smooth.

Here are photos of the babies a few hours after they were born.

Sugar's baby boy - June 25, 2009.

This is Sugar's baby boy, born June 25, 2009.

We do have these two for sale. We are asking $150.00 for the top baby and $200.00 for the bottom baby who is showing signs of curly fiber. Both seem like they will have long hair.

Darla brought her babies into the world around 3am July 3, 2009. They are both does. Just adorable. Here are pictures of the babies!

Our first goat kidding season has been a good one. Everyone has had healthy babies and they have all been good mothers. The first set of kids will be weaned in August meaning they are almost ready to go to new homes. We will be weathering soon unless someone contacts us wanting a buck.

Here is who we have:

Sugar gave birth first to two adorable baby boys. She kidded on June 25, 2009. Here are photos of her babies. They are angora/dairy goat crosses.

The next set of babies came from Darla, the first dairy goat that came to live here at the farm. She had two girls. One looks just like her and one looks like Sugar’s babies. At first I thought we might have trouble telling the three white ones apart but it has not been difficult at all and the goat kids know who mommy is.

Here are pictures of Darla’s kids who were born on July 3, 2009.

Darla was followed by Tulip our cashmere goat. She has the most adorable baby called a cashgora because the daddy is an angora. It has shiny black fur that is quite curly. This was our only single birth.

Tulip’s baby, which has the same markings she does, was born on July 11, 2009. She is a more protective mommy than the other goats and her baby sticks closer to her. Here is the photo. It is a bit fuzzy but it was the harder photo to get. Tulip kept standing in front of her. I had to wait until she came out and snap the photo quickly.

Our last goat to kid was Spice. She had one that looks just like her and one that is a lighter brown color. She kidded yesterday, July 14, 2009. Here are photos of her kids just after they were born.
