Classical Goats

Penny kidded earlier this evening, which meant she was about a week early. . .but the kids (1 doe, 1 buck) seem healthy and are nursing well. We are happy to add Ravel (as in Maurice Ravel, the classical composer) and Camille (as in Camille Saint-Saens, another classical composer) to our herd. They join Lena's new classical composer name-inspired kids Telemann (Georg Telemann) and Borodin (Alexander Borodin) who were born July 24th.

Roo kidded on Saturday, 11 May 2013 (the day before I left for two weeks in Virginia) with a buckling and doeling. Their sire is GCH Copper Penny MTB Money to Burn. Her daughter will be Classical's MTB CPTs Necessity (barn name, Honor). The little boy will be called Banjo and will most likely be wethered. . .but we have a few weeks left to make the final decision on that. I will try to get some photos up after I get back from Virginia.

After weeks of stressing about Lena kidding (she was getting SO big) and setting up a camera in her stall so we could monitor her at night, I got a text at work today (yes, sadly, I have a day job). She kidded on her own with a buck and a doe. Everyone is doing well, which is a huge relief.
