Snow Babies

REW English Angoras from Daze.
GC Sweet Pea's tort litter.

Tulip's litter of 2 torts and a REW.


Baby angora goat born this morning.



Baby Human sleeping.
I promised baby photos but I never expected to have so many. There are so many, I may have to add another post or maybe they will fit them in at the end of the text. The snow storm (yes, another one!) brought along another baby this morning, Ruby's little doeling. She is staying pretty warm in the little sweat shirt sleeve but Mom is still tired from the delivery. We milked her and gave it to her baby with a syringe. She perked up after that and has been on her feet complaining. Ruby is a really good Mom if you remember her buckling "The Brat" from last winter. He would still be nursing if given half the chance but since he is now bigger then his Mom, that probably wouldn't be possible.
All of the angora babies are doing well now after the initial non-feeding Moms
issue. Unfortunately most of them seem to be bucks. Things can change but that is the look of things right now. They sure are cute though. Must be the time of the year for boy babies, humans included. The little angora doeling may change things around now, but mostly we are waiting for Jersey Woolie babies this week and two black (I hope) angora litters at the end of the week. We will see. Babies sure do break up the winter cabin fever we have all been feeling. They are so much fun.
