MotoX Farms Fainting Goats

We witnessed two births this morning!

Our beautiful Annabelle gave birth to two wonderful babies this morning -- one doe and one buck. They are gorgeous, and all three of them are doing great!

Fainting Goat Bucklings for Sale

2008-05-09T13:14:00.000-07:00

Even though we have thus far been unable (well, at least unwilling!) to sell any of our babies, it is really past time for us to let Hagrid and Dumbledore go on to new homes where they can fulfill their studly destinies! These two were born January 20th, and have received their standard vaccinations. They are 100% pureblooded fainters, the offspring of B's Barn's Kris Kringle and our (still-waiting-on-her-registration-paperwork) Lola. Kris is an excellent fainter, but Lola is not easily surprised! Both the boys are nice and muscular, growing very well, and healthy.

We spend a lot of time with our goats, so they are very friendly, accustomed to being around children and adults, and just all-around loveable. If you have any questions, comment here or email me.

Since we have been lax on their registrations, I would be willing to sell them for $150 each plus transportation costs.

Skunky's First Birth -- A White Doeling!

2008-05-09T12:45:00.000-07:00

Meet Rudolph, named for her red little nose.

Here she is with her proud first-time mama Skunky . . .

And here with the two-legged kids . . .

This little one was born on Wednesday, May 7th, and already she's given us a scare -- disappearing for a couple of hours this afternoon.

In truth, I think she was hiding in one of our small dog houses all along, but she evaded my eyes and had me very worried! I spent most of my son's nap outside in the rain, looking around like a crazy person.

Rudolph's mama is one of our best fainters, so we are really excited to see how this little one turns out. So far, she is the 3rd doeling born on our farm, and like the other two, we don't think we will be able to let her go.

Annabelle, Our Newest Addition

2008-04-11T13:10:00.001-07:00

Several weeks ago, Annabelle joined us from a local farm. She is as sweet as she looks and has quickly become good friends with both of our human kids. We are hoping that she and Kris Kringle will welcome some babies of their own in a few months!

New and improved, now with pigs!!

2008-03-16T18:41:00.000-07:00

Today, our farm acquired two pot belly pigs, Oliver and Penelope. They are adorable!

They were both sleeping when we got home to play with them, but they woke up quickly and were wandering around the pen, terrorizing the goats until we decided they were better off living separately until they got used to each other.

I have wanted pigs my whole life, and so this is like a dream come true. We are expecting piglets over the summer, assuming these two get busy soon!

Fainting Kids Playing Outdoors

2008-01-29T06:46:00.000-08:00

In the past few days, we've been able to let the kids out to run around (and give their mamas some much needed fresh air). They have all been loving the freedom, and getting plenty of exercise doing their precious little run.

These pictures are from yesterday morning.

Lola Introduces Hagrid and Dumbledore

2008-01-29T06:17:00.000-08:00

48 hours after Sassy gave birth to her doe twins, lovely Lola welcomed twin bucks, Dumbledore and Hagrid. True to his name, Hagrid was a half giant, and he and his brother were both born larger than Spaghettio and Meatball. They too began nursing very well and started showing off their bouncy personalities almost immediately.

Lola is a second-time mama, and this is her first twin birth.

Sassafras Welcomes Spaghettio & Meatball

2008-01-29T06:10:00.000-08:00

On January 18, 2008, Sassafras gave birth to twin does, promptly named Spaghettio and Meatball. We found them soon after the birth, and my five year old daughter named Spaghettio for her clumsiness -- "uh-oh spaghettio!" Meatball seemed like an appropriate name for her little brown twin.

Sassy did wonderfully with her first birth and got the twins latched on and nursing right away. We were amazed that she had twins result from her first pregnancy!
