New Arrival

New addition to the herd
A very proud mother

Nibbling on hay.
I was going to continue my spring cleaning system on the blog next but we had a spring surprise this morning instead. We have a few angora goats and one cashmere goat. Well, the cashmere goat is the size a house and we have been watching her for a few weeks now, thinking that she would give birth at any time now. We were not watching the angora girls as they really didn't look too big yet under their winter coats. Well, surprise, surprise, when my husband went out to feed this morning, we had a sweet little buck goat all cleaned up and walking around. He is a doll with a bright red head and mom is so proud of him. We lost his dad a few months ago from old age so we were really glad for a boy to continue the fathers line. We will have to wait and see how the other moms do but this mom is certainly thrilled about her new addition. The warm weather also made it much easier on both mom and baby.
