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.
Life on a sustainable family farm specializing in heritage livestock and a nourishing family life that encourages life experiences "outside" the box!
You've got that right! There is nothing cuter than a baby goat! I hope to be able to see yours when we come to get our rabbits, maybe tomorrow? We will be calling you! Glad to see you have started a blog! Can't wait for more posts and we will need pics of those baby goats!
