Our Goat Babies
If you would like to see any of these babies, please give us a call at 513-553-1422.
Here are our 2010 babies, all born in March. Looks like another buck year - 7 bucks (boys) and 2 does (girls).
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.
We haven't named this little buck yet. He was born March 1, 2010. He was one of a triplet. Unfortunately, his brother died but he does have a sister who bosses him around. This little guy had a rough time for the first 3 or 4 days. His back legs won't work and we were concerned he won't make it. Good news to report, he is up and playing.
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. This is a little Boer Buck born the same day as Clare and her brother were born. 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.
