Our goat herd is very active and enjoys life. With the birth of new kids each year we find ourselves with an overload of active young ones who enjoy moving about the farm, sparring with their brothers and sisters and getting the most attention from visitors.
Our goats are born between the end of January and early March. We try to have the majority of the kids born in a two to three week timeframe to increase the uniformity of the kid crop at sale time.
Some times the doe's give birth to more kids then they can handle and we end up bottle feeding a small group each year (see below images). This surrogacy can be a rewarding and tiring responsibilty which we handle better as the years pass.
Check back here to see images of the next set of kids born on the farm.
