Just born
« on: May 01, 2012, 08:17:41 pm »
My Lily goat gave birth at 6pm this evening to 2 lovely kids, one boy, one girl.

After all the trauma of lambing, it was a piece of cake and all over quickly with very little help from me.  This is her first time, although she was a maiden milker.

I was surprised by the different colours of the kids.

Lily's mother is a toggenburg.   I'm hoping she's pregnant and should be due in about 8 weeks.

Not sure what the kid's father is but he looks exactly like the black one,  only bigger :D.

No Golden Guernseys that I know of.  Lily's father looked more like a Saanen but I don't know for sure.

They are gorgeous!!  Lily has some horns on her for a female!!  Although I had an old Toggenburg who came to live with me for her last few years and her horns were enormous too.
