Our first kid of the year!
He was born Monday morning, and again Gazelle the mom choose a very, very cold day but now I was prepared and installed a goat safe heating lamp. It's a healthy little boy, tho quite large, but then, he's all by himself, enjoying free access to all the milk he can get :)
Hopefully the snow will disappear soon - and stay away! - so mommy and kid can enjoy the outdoors, play on the goat playhouse and eat fresh grass (I'm sure there is some somewhere...).
And I am looking forward to fresh milk in a few weeks. The first couple weeks are for the kids only as the milk is heavy in colostrum, after that I'll start the morning milking up again. Which is nice too, some quiet time to myself :)
