2/28/2021 0 Comments Shimmer DeliversWe waited and waited and waited....then 4 days after her due date, at 2:30 in the morning of February 28th, Shimmer, "Ruthie", delivered a beautiful doeling and handsome big ol' buckling! It was about 8 degrees but sunny on their first day in the world so we put some little fleece coats on them until they were nursing well and keeping their little bodies warm. They have been gaining weight well and are very well put together goatlings. The doeling is "Phoebe" and the buckling is "Hugo". Phoebe will be going to her new home with Ivy's doeling, June, and the buckling is available for sale. Their dam is an excellent milker and the dam and Jeroboam, their sire, pass on their fantastic personalities to their offspring. These are their 4th and 5th kids. They have joined Ivy's doeling, June" and are running around the snowbanks and bouncing off the sheep in between milk snacks and naps, .
It's a good life!
