I'm not home, the kids are with them. Going by this does past babies, the black and white will be a doe and the black/brown and white will be a buck.

That’s awesome!
I miss kids!
You definitely never know who will go first. Even with due dates.
Congrats! Update when you get home and have light!

Silly boy, its in the goat section...Congratulations. Not what I was expecting, but congratulations just the same.
I've got a boer doe that looks like she's carrying a watermelon on each side of her ribs. Looks like she's going to explode. She was in with the buck well before this La Mancha doe was.

True but I just clicked "new posts" and it was at the top. Have you named them yet?
No. I let the buyer name them if they sell. If they don't they go in the freezer. And I was right. The black and white is a girl and the pretty one is a boy, again.

Yay! So cute!
One of our boer does is in labor. First was a still born. Hopefully we get a healthy kid or she gone. It's her 3rd chance.
The second is perfect and she's still pushing. It may just be the after birth but she is still big. This one was born in the last 20 min.

Aaaaah,they are adorable.Congrats!!!I'm really thinking of getting goats.I've never eaten goat.What does it taste like?Do you butcher them young?There's a grocery store in Cinti called Jungle Jim's where they sell a lot of ethnic foods.In the meat dept.,I would see goat and sheep heads,complete with the eyes,teeth and tongue for $1.Until then,I thought "Goat Head Soup" was just a Rolling Stones' album.
Goat is similar to beef. We usually butcher around 10 months, have to wait until after the fair. We've never used the head, that's a bit to much for me. I'm fine with watching them be born and butchering but I don't want them to watch me cook them.

I just love goat kids and these are beautiful! I am still patiently waiting, but Polly Anna should be any day now.

How old is that buckling LastO? The judges around here favor the white/red head or I'd come up/over/down and "borrow" him for a few weeks this fall.

Did the boer nanny have another kid Terri?
Nope. Just the 2.
The doe I thought would be first just gave us 2 healthy kids. So far all of our does have had 1 doe and 1 buck.
