These little kids are a riot! Ended up with 7. Baby had triplets, but one female (#8) died with a heart murmur. Check out how they rough house all morning and then nap all afternoon. Sounds good to me!
Available for sale around the first week in December.

Emma, our original Nubian Dwarf Nigerian cross, had only one kid this time around. She is a very tall kid and beautifully colored with three stripes, black, white and brown.
The new kid longs to play with the other kids, but Emma, being the dominant goat in the herd, has a tendency to be aggressive to the other goats and their kids. So it is best to keep them separate. We need to keep her away from the others, especially Katie Too who has not kid yet. Here’s the new kid on the block…

It’s a lot cheaper to mix your own herbal dewormer than to buy it commercially. Here’s the Dewormer recipe:

0.3 oz Cayenne
0.2 oz. Hyssop
0.2 oz. Wormwood
Mix together and store in an airtight glass container (We use Mason Jars) Add 1 tsp to grain each day, or add to bulk feed container.
