Part of what kept me busy for 2011..Goat/Kid pic's

Congratulations on your Barnful of Irresistable Sweetness and Fun!!
Love those goat babies! We made ice cream, yogurt and cheese as well as drinking it also, but never did soap.
Sure do miss those goaties.
Thanks for sharing your pix Barefoot'.

Oh my! Those babies are all beautiful! Question for you: When a doe gives birth to twins or triplets, do the kids eventually grow to the same size as their single-birth counterparts?

Thank you Thistlebloom and skeeter9! Cant wait to try my hand at making different kinds of cheese! I made a lot of ice cream and yogurt this past year! Thistle, what kind of cheese did you make? Do you have any tips for me?

skeeter, twins and tripletts will usually always grow to the same size as a single birthed kid! They catch up pretty quick in size. Providing they are healthy.

Well I must sheepishly admit that when I said "we made" I meant "my mom made" and I ate! Sorry, but I don't have any tips for you.
I have more recently ( like a few years ago ) made feta with a neighbors goat milk and that was super easy and very tasty.

Peteyfoozer is the one to ask about cheese.

Aww, love the babies! If I had a bigger place, I'd have goats. An older gent I used to work with had several and he would always bring me milk and the cheese he made. Goat cheese pizza - YUM!

They are just too cute! Congratulations! If I didn't work I would get some for sure.

cute, cute, cute goatie babies! I love the coat colors! I currently have a little Boer buck with my Nubian does and well...he's too short to be successful in any amorous attempts so far. They keep coming back into heat. arrrrgh!

LOL!! So your looking to cross your boar buck with your Nubians? Dont be surprised if maybe he just might get lucky while he's in heat one day!! All things are possible when they are in heat!

Southerngardener, I look forward to goat cheese pizza someday! Yummy!!
