Twin fullblood doelings from Nessa!

Nessa delivered fullblood doelings 3/26/10. Nessa did a great job delivering them & getting them clean -- but it took a couple days to get the nursing down. She didn't want them out of her sight & didn't realize she could turn her head & still see them while they were nursing - instead she would turn her whole body around, which kept the kids from nursing. We were going out every 2-3 hours to hold her so they could nurse -- then it finally clicked for her! Yeah! She now realizes she can still see them while they're nursing!! :) Nessa had a traditional doeling (CiCi) & a solid red doeling (Cayenne). Pictures were taken at 2 days of age.

Ginger's kids!!

Danielle's show goat, Ginger, finally had her babies - twin purebreds - doeling & buckling. Of course, Danielle is beyond excited. She always said that "her" 1st doeling born here would be named after her great-grandmother, Dixie, so we now have a Dixie here. She named the buckling Capaccino. Twins were born 3/24/10 - Capaccino weighed 9.6 lbs & Dixie weighed 8.4 lbs. Photos below were taken at 2 & 3 day of age. Dixie came out bouncing & she hasn't slowed down since!!

K.L. had twin doelings on 3/20/10 - a traditional doeling & a doeling with a half red / half white face - she's definitely a unique little girl.

Kids at Play!!

Kids are bouncing around all over here at Dixieland Acres. I love watching them jump, kick, attempt to head butt & race each other around the pasture. These are pictures of some of our 2 week old kids.

The logs & spool are a favorite play area for all the kids.

Opal's buckling is growing out nicely.

Goat babies growing!

The babies around here seem to be growing quickly! :) Right now we have 3 sets of twins (2 weeks old in the photos below) & a set up triplets (5 weeks old in the photos below). We have 5 more does left to kid - Annie is due anytime & has been teasing us by draining. We think she's holding out for the rain/thunder/wind that's forcasted for tonight & tomorrow night.
