New Kids on the Block

This is one of a set of triplets delivered by his mommy “Got Milk”, she has only a white mustache on an entirely red body, baking in the warm afternoon sun with a belly full of milk.

This little cutie is from another set of triplets and is shown here taking her first drink with momma, Pippin, coaching her in the ways of goatie etiquette. Romeo and Beauregard are proud poppas and only 1 mother has had a single baby, “Thing Two”. Thing One has not delivered yet. As of this posting there are 28 new babies bouncing around in the pasture. It is wonderful to see how they use some sort of inborn echo-location bleeting until the right mom comes around to feed them or reassure them about their new world. At night the moms form a huge ring with the babies in the middle and everyone gets very quiet. Our reverence for the natural world is greatest this time of year when we are blessed with the new additions to our farm:)
Stay tuned for a picture of Bubble’s new baby. (It wouldn’t hold still today for a picture)
