Baby Goats

Sidney and Ruby

These adorable siblings will be coming home with us at the end of May!  The black and white boer goat is a male named Sidney.  He had surgery on his eyelid to remove an extra wrinkle that was making it so he couldn't open his eye.  When we went to see him at Red Maple Farm, Donna told us his story and I fell in love with him instantly.  I also loved that his Mom was small for a boer, because I prefer smaller goats.  Donna said she had spent extra time with him and wanted him to go to a home as a pet rather than a meat prospect.  That was perfect for us as I was looking for a companion for the milking goat I was also hoping to purchase.  

When I saw Sidney and his sister, Ruby, cuddled up I just couldn't help myself and ended up deciding to take both of them.  Donna is giving me a really good rate since I hope to purchase all three of my goats from her.  Sidney will have a life of ease on our farm as a companion animal and petting zoo prospect for my Summer Camps.  His sister Ruby has great 4H blood-lines and will likely be going to fair herself or be bred to Donna's gorgeous Boer buck to produce 4H babies. 😉

Bella is a special little girl at Red Maple Farm.  She is the 'little sister' of triplets born to Donna's beautiful milking goat, Vanessa, and her handsome buck, Elvis.  This little girl is 'all shook up'!  She became a bottle baby because, at half the size of her two brothers, she just couldn't get enough milk from her gallon-a-day producing Mom.  She is now in Donna's kitchen getting regular, round-the-clock feedings.  I 'can't help falling in love' with this feisty little girl.  Bella means beautiful and this one-ear-up, one-ear-down, full personality 'rock-a-hula baby' certainly is beautiful!  I'm hoping that by promising Donna her choice of buck for breeding and her first born doe she will let me buy her and bring her home to live and play with Sidney and Ruby.  Otherwise, I'll be staying at 'Heartbreak Hotel'. (Sorry, but with a Dad named Elvis I just couldn't help the Elvis puns, lol!)
