Buck/Doe twins for Mai while we were on our way home. She's keeping her buckling since she had time to love on him. Her 5.2 # doeling is going on the bottle.

Mai wasn't due until Monday, but she decided to take advantage of the nice weather...

Beautiful, sunny day for a Dairy Goat Show!

We attended our only planned club show for 2026 today with just 4 does. Making for a very relaxed show for us.

Our 3yr old
JDF Capt Jak Jazlita
was Reserve Grand in both rings!

Huge thank you to H Wyett Johnson & Ashley Frantz for hauling, caring for the girls overnight & helping me show.

Mom's starting to look like me with all the metal in her. Lol

Stitches are out, doctor says it looks good. Now We are on to a brace, physical therapy and the long road of recovery!!

Elegance had a set of LITTLE twins!

4.8 # buck & 3.8 # doe
The doeling is one of the smallest babies of the year, hopefully she grows well.

So far they are both taking the bottle when held.

Delivery #41: (5/23/26)
Cat had a single 5.7 # doeling for my nephew, Lucas.

This little lady currently has a full belly and is taking a nap. Our goal is for the babies to drink at least 10%-15% of their birth weight in ounces of colostrum by 12hrs old.

Her green collar is velcro. We write mom's name, baby's date of birth, and baby's tattoo for the left ear of kids to be registered on the tag in sharpie.

The orange on her white is from the brand of Navel dip we are using this year. We dip umbilical cords to prevent infections like "navel ill" & "joint ill." It is similar to the purple used on newborns at the hospital.

Well JokerWild snuck this buckling's delivery in, this afternoon, during my nap!

She loves him so we'll try letting her keeping him.

I'll milk her out twice a day, if he starts damaging her teats/udder, he will get switched to a bottle or a "wet nurse" doe. (Basic one who lives here, but doesn't get shown.)

I've been asked by a number of people about a Baby Registry so here is the one I've been putting things in...

I'm due August 30th, if I go to my due date with a little boy.

So far I bought 2 travel systems with the infant carseat & stroller during theTarget carseat trade in...that way I have a stroller for my car & my mom's/his dad's.

I have gotten a few newborn outfits & some 0-3mo outfits/ sleepers from a friend and at a consignment sale.
