Piddle & Puddle

As many of you may already know, we have new babies. Two buck kids born to Bonnie on one of the coldest nights to date, -4 and almost record setting. It was hell is pretty much how I can sum it up.

Despite all that though, they're thriving and happy. I've got photos of them at about 12 hours old. They're more mobile now, trying to jump and climb and do all the things that goat kids do. Very simply put, simply adorable they are!

 Because of their milk genetics I'd try to find them breeding homes but there are only so many of those required...so, their fate may lie on someone's plate. Hard to tell. It won't be mine. .

 They don't have names per say. Rachel and Drew both know they will not stay but for ease, instead of calling them "thing big" and "thing small" they're "Piddle" and "Puddle" I think since that's what they do and that's what they leave. Which is which I don't know, so I guess it's not much better than "this one" and "that one".

But, they are still cute. No denying that!

Anyway, without further ado..."the boys".
