Title: My first baby goats!
Post by: Mays on March 10, 2012, 11:37:16 am

Well, its has been a text book kidding for my one and only pregnant doe this year. She produced two lovely chocolate brown female kids this morning, and she even waited until I got up before starting the whole procedure  ;D

here is a pic, they look black here but have dried off choc brown with strong whites - stunning girls! Although the colour has taken my by surprise as she is so silver, and the sire was silver (all pedigree BTs)
