Peter went into the barn this morning to find a set of twins, a girl & a boy!
Everyone is doing great.
We named the little, initially rejected, doe from Sunday, "Annie". It suits her!

(Annie-pic)
She has been adopted happily by Queen!
We surely didn't totally appreciate the name we gave Abe, the buck (short for Abraham)when he arrived here over a year ago!
Abraham was declared by God, in the Old Testament, to be the Father of many nations. Well..our goat is the father of many!
Good lad!
We are still expecting a few more goats...so keep posted!
Thankfully, the weather is unusually warm...perfect to have babies in!

Perhaps the animals of the barn could be sponsored by your Operazzi (my new word for Opera users that just HAVE to keep up on the latest posts..) to help defray costs of keeping everything going on the farm.
I haven't found a decent synonym for "cute", yet....; "adorable" is the best I can muster at this early hour...

Henry..
Once we sell these babies...it will take care of everything. That was the plan...sell the babies to pay for the Hobby! Horses included.
Adorable is a good enough word..

& Cool Lois! They are very easy..you just need the proper penning so they can't escape!

I worked in a zoo for a while where they had a special breed of mini goats. The babies were so small and so cute I wanted to take one home in my pocket. The adult ones were great escapers. :-D

Though, I have a new found respect for these animals...especially- our- "Queen"...with her now, 4 babies! They have some wisdom in those eyes.
All goats are great escape artists!
