Our Goat Babies
If you would like to see any of these babies, please give us a call at 513-553-1422.
These are the first 2012 babies! No, they are not a rare bred and nothing is wrong with them. They are Lamancha goats. Lamancha goats have teeny, tiny ears. The one with the white topknot is the doe (girl) we named her Star. Her brother is Tanner because he has a lot of tan markings. They were born Thursday evening, January 19. Welcome to the world, babies!
This is what happens when two baby goats knock over a heat lamp in their pen. On January 27, 2012 the lamancha baby goats set the hay in their pen on fire. Fortunately, a neighbor driving past our house saw the smoke coming out of the barn and got me. The babies somehow survived without any injuries and the fire come within inches of a hay bin full of hay! God was watching over us that day! Thank God for my neighbor and a Fire Department that lives only 5 minutes away!
This is Spot because he has a big spot on his forehead. Spot is pure nubian. He was born March 2, 2010. His Mother is Haley, our only nubian doe. Nubian milk is wonderful for making cheese and butter.
Little Hope was one of our surviving Preemies. I love success stories like this! I found her buried in the straw and didn't think she would make it. BUT, she was a fighter and here she is today! I named her Hope because I felt she was full of hope.
This is Hope next to Ah Choo our Shih Tzu right after she was born - she how much she has grown!! She was a fighter!
Peter (on the left) and Grace (on the right) were born Good Friday (April 10, 2009). They are Alpines. Alpine milk is great for drinking - very sweet and does not have a lot of butterfat
I was being spied on as I was taking pictures. His Mom is Sasha.
Here is Pee Wee (a Boer Doe) with her baby buck born on April 16, 2009, Boer Goat Mom's are really good Mothers and take wonderful cre of their babies! 
This is Babe with her "adopted" Mom Ah Choo. Babe was a triplet. We think she might be a preemie. This can happen occasionally where a goat gets pregnant twice. So when she goes into labor, everyone gets born whether they are ready or not. We think this is the case with Babe. Babe lived in our bedroom until she was big enough to handle living in the barn. The goat is smaller than the Shih Tzu!!
Feeding Time!
We bottle feed most of our babies. It takes a lot of work, but it is worth it. This way we can make sure the babies are getting enough of their mother's good milk. Also, it is a lot easier on the mother because the babies can damage their udders. 
These are our 2007 babies. Between January and March, we had 14 babies born! One of these babies now lives at Sunrock Farm in Kentucky.
Dinner time!
Our goats are feed good hay and a combination of Goat sweet feed and Purina Goat Chow. After the babies are weaned off the bottles, they are given grain twice a day along with hay.
