What can be cuter than a baby goat?

A beautiful day was made even better with the birth of two nubian doelings.  Both doelings came into the world strong and ready to nurse.  One doe kid was definitely stronger - but that in no way stopped the smaller doe from getting her share of the first milk or colostrum that is needed to give them a healthy start in the world.
The doe that gave birth is a great mother - protective yet gentle with her new kids.  It's always nice to deal with an experienced doe that knows what to do and has that special "mothering instinct".  It really makes life a lot easier when you don't have to struggle to get the little ones to nurse.

Goat's Milk Soap

The dairy does of Moss Creek farm are "bagging up" and will soon the pastures will be full of little doeling and bucklings.  We raise Nubian, Toggenburg and Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats.  The Toggenburgs and the Nigerian Dwarf does will be the first to freshen and then will will over flow with milk to make our handcrafted goat's milk soaps and lotions!  Goat's milk is very nourshing to the shin in that it is high in butterfat and moisturizes your skin.  Goat's milk soap is a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin supple and soft.  Our goat's milk and honey lotions are so rich and creamy.  A nice simple pleasure to start your day with!
