Yesterday we were planning on going to the farm to plant our strawberries. When we woke-up it was cold and windy but knowing time is short we decided to go and see what work could be done. When we arrived at the farm we decided to go check on the goats. The farm manager and his wife have 2 dairy goats and were expecting kids any day now. But the barn was all locked up. However Aaron and Melanie and Addie were all in the born and heard us talking outside. They invited us in to see 5 new additions.

This is Lilly and her 2nd kidding. She had 3 little babies, 1 boy and 2 girls. She was being very protective and hiding with her babies so I just took one quick picture of her.

Lovey had 2 babies for her first kidding, a boy and a girl. Melanie said she had her babies just fine before anyone really knew she was in labor. She was more trusting, letting her babies that had been born just the day before wander around their pen a bit. Though she was keeping an eye on them and was available for milk any time.

This is my favorite picture. How many times do you get to see a day old goat? I don’t know if dairy animals are in our future or not, but after these cute babies the children are really begging for them.
