Daily Farmhouse Journal

Babies are coming, babies are coming!!!! Several weeks ago, we made a trip to a goat farm where we’ll be getting at least two, possibly three, doelings to start our own little herd of Nigerian dwarf dairy goats. They have a number of expecting does, and babies have begun to arrive! Of the first two born, one baby is a doeling-a female, and the other is a buckling-a male. So now I’m planning another trip to the goat farm next week to see the babies-maybe by then there will be more births. I might even be able to pick out the ones that will be ours!

Could they be cuter? I can hardly wait till baby goats are frolicking on our farm!
