With all these new babies I've been in hog-heaven! Can't help myself. Nimue's twin boys, both blue-eyed and both polled!!!! Tri-color roan is Blaze and the black one is Solar... http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-071.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... 2-5-07.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-076.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-075.jpg What're you lookin' at??? http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-075.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-076.jpg That little Blaze is a busy body! He's all the time moving so most of his pics came out as blurs. Hehe Rose's sweet doeling Evy is just GORGEOUS!!! She is such a girly girl... http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... 2-5-07.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-075.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-077.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-078.jpg And last but certainly not least is Dreamer. She is Blessing's sweet little doeling born this morning... http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... 2-5-07.jpg http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a62/Go ... -5-073.jpg Baby goat heaven!
I'm really on the fence on this one. Nimue's udder is so gorgeous and not to mention that black buck is suckering me in.
Yeah, Blaze is cute but Solar's conformation is better I think. It pops out at me more. I personally am not fond of Nimue's udder, but that's just me also. I'm weird about such things. Although, New England has a totally different style of Nigerian.
Do you raise Nigerians hornless? The thing I would improve in Nimue is her medial ligament. I haven't tried milking her yet.
Nimue need a bit of improvment in her udder floor, and teat placement, overall though I think she has a nice udder. Great capacity, globular shape, she also appears to have a smooth foreudder etc..... Those babies are just beautiful!
Yup! A small herd, but it is growing. The medial was really the only thing that stuck out at me, otherwise it is a super udder. It sticks out at me because in NJ, we see a lot of udders that have bad attachments, or does with no medial (well you know what I mean). I've never really seen a doe with an overly defined medial in person.
Thanks, they're spoiled! I'm going to hopefully get some more pics of Dreamer today. She's just so little and cute!!! Can't believe Nimue's boys are a week old!!!
Every single one of them are perfect!! Solar is a very striking boy, but I really think that Blaze is just as striking with the contrast of black and white...the blue eyes are a big plus as is Blazes' spot on his lip!! Now theres nothing to be said for those doelings except that they are BEAUTIFUL!! I can't get over how Dreamer looks like her mom! Absolutely adorable.....have fun cause before you know it you'll be playing the waiting game again!!
Now if only I can make up my mind whether or not to keep one of the boys. Haha I need to avoid the temptation!!! I am keeping both girls.
well I think they are just beautiful as always. I if I can get a doeling out of Sweet Pea that looks like your Evy I will be so happy! I can't wait to see Sweet Pea's udder, that will be a do or die for a show I think. Kid/s in May for me!! ugh the wait!
I know its killing you to wait. I hated the wait too so thats part of the reason mine are so spread out and never seem to stop. I'm a goat-baby addict!!! I bet you will get beautiful babies from Sweat Pea. Which was she planned to? I think you'll be thrilled with her colorful babies. Since she's so heavily spotted its highly probable that she'll pass that on to her babies. Good luck! Hope you get an Evy look-alike!!!
Sweet Pea was bred to Wings N Things Sage's Bandit. I just found Wings N Things Sage's Picture http://daydreamfarms.00go.com/sage.htm Still haven't found his dam though I found the breeder of Wings N Things but the e-mail was outdated Still looking though.
