January 24, 2010, Michelle provided us with a Live Kidding Demonstration for our Farm Day.  A little over 50 people were here to help us celebrate the occasion.



The Babies
We test regularly.  All our animals have tested negative for CL, CAE and Johne's.
RICHARD & SANDY'S BOER GOAT FARM
VALENTINE KIDDED - finally on January 16, 2010!  She had two bucklings and Tommy is the daddy.  The first one was born at 7:50 p.m. and weighed 13.5 pounds!  He was walking/stumbling within 20 minutes and suckling soon after.  He has a fairly dark brown head with no white markings.  The second one was born at 8:10 p.m., weighed 11 pounds and was up and walking as quick as his brother.  Both are 1 - 1 teated and are very healthy.  Both are built like little bricks and have beautiful ennobled heads with docile sleepy eyes.  These two are full brothers to RNSH Valentino.

All 3 babies snuggled up under the heat lightA nice thick bed of straw and the heat light keeps them warm and the board across the corner of the stall keeps them safe!Mary Ann with her 2010 buckling. Notice Mary Ann, as always, is talking and her little boy is listening! The boy weighed 9 pounds when he was born! Mary Tino the littlest of the group was 7 pounds when she was born.Tino Ann weighed 8.5 pounds when she was born! Not bad for a sweet little girl! Mary Ann's Buckling 2010 (9 lbs), Tino Ann (8.5 lbs) and Mary Tino (7 lbs)
Mary Ann kidded on January 11, 2010. 
RNSH Valentino is the daddy!

She called us at about 3:00 a.m.  We checked her and told her to call us when something was happening.  She called us again at about 5:45. 

The Mary Tino was born at 5:50 and weighed 8.5 pounds, Ann Tino was born at 6:10 and weighed 7 pounds and the boy was born at 6:15 and weighed 9 pounds!  No help required with this gal - just stand back and catch the babies as the come flying out!

Mary Ann has so much milk that she has to be milked out in addition to raising triplets!  Wow - Richard makes great goat cheese!

KRYSTAL KIDDED on January 16, 2010 also; in fact, Krystal was waiting in line for help while Valentine was popping out kids!  Valentine is Krystal's mom, so I guess she figured she had a right to go first!  For a first time Mom, Krystal is doing an exceptional job, in fact, she has superb mothering instincts!   She had buckling and a doeling, both very healthy and both weighed 9.5 pounds.  The boy has a beautiful hood that goes back to his shoulders. The girl has a dark head with a striking white blaze.  Both have deep brown markings.  The boy has 2 split teats that appear to be split about 75%.  The girl has a fish teat on one side and a single on the other.

Leaning Tree WMS. Halo W-94 kidded January 22, 2010.  She suffered from pregnancy toxemia for weeks before the due date and was induced on January 21, 2010.  Halo provided us with quadruplets; however, because of the circumstances, only our little Angel survived.  She is quite the little bundle of joy!

RNSH Coaco Valentine is the Daddy!  And what a pair these two make.  This little girl will be hitting the show ring at the earliest possible opportunity.

Pat and Dawn Lantz were here helping with the seminars.  Dawn provided the kidding 101 demo with Michelle providing the kid.

Thus little RNSH Coaco's Dawn and RNSH Coaco's Pat arrived into our world welcomed by a large group of visitors!

Our very own RNSH Coaco Valentine is the proud daddy of these two little sweeties!
Just like most sibblings, sometimes Pat and Dawn butt heads.And sometimes they push and shove.And sometimes they bicker.Sometimes they won't talk to each other.Sometimes they won't even look at each other.But they always kiss and make up because they're sisters!
