New Goats 2 & 3


I came out this morning to do a head count and found that Nutter Butter gave birth to twins last night. This is her first set of twins out of five pregnancies!

NB is never too sure about us Red Clay Farmers. If we have food, she will stand by us, but otherwise, she is always out of reach. Her demeanor changes every time she kids and she becomes more friendly. This morning she seemed happy to see me as I visited with her and her babies. She was even happier when I gave her some feed without the rest of the herd swarming her.

 The brown kid is a buckling. The black one is a doe. They each have a distinct personality. The brown one is kind of bold and adventurous. The black one is a little more reserved and timid. I've named them Big Dan and Li'l Ann.
