Flora & Her Babies

Flora was a bottle baby and she is a really good girl who is pretty docile.  She gave birth to Henry’s babies in the evening on April 9th.  She had a doeling Boer and a buckling LaMancha.  We named the girl Brownie and the little guy Dandy.

Dandy came out much larger than little Brownie and it was a bit shocking to see the size difference and that one was a Boer and the other a LaMancha.  The goat experts tell me that she was probably a little premature which would explain the size difference and some other issues.

Unfortunately, we lost Brownie a few days after she was born.

Dandy turned out to be a pretty funny character.  He also has 3 light brown spots down his spine which make him really cute.

He happens to be a favorite of Hunter’s.

This picture shows how his spots run from his neck down his back – each one is a little bigger than the last.

We have enjoyed him and hope that he will find a nice home.  We will be listing him for sale soon just like all the other kids from this year.
