The 3 little "Divas"

 Here are the little "divas".  I think I will name them after some of the biggest divas, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Diana Ross.  These little girls are so sweet. And very special too. I love them.



And Kansas does too. I found this dog cage on CL last week. I went to get it Friday night. It's just perfect for the little divas to go outside with Sandy but be safe from big fat hungry pigs. It would be way too easy for the babies to get into the pig pen which is connected to the goat barn. And it has cattle panels, which a cute little baby goat would fit right through. And I would really hate that to happen. So til they are bigger, or I can, by some miracle, get the pigs moved to the front where I want them to til for me, the babies can stay in this. And Sandy can jump over to get to them. It's only 2' high. And has a little door. And Kansas can protect them too.



So tonight, I noticed the kids are only nursing on one side.  I took Sandy to the milk room and milked out the other side. I strained and put it in a bottle. Went out and fed the littlest diva baby. And she drank over half of it. I guess I'll bottle feed  her a few times a day. She's so small.

Goats with floppy ears!! We have kids with elf ears ( La Manchas) and kids with stand up ears (Alpines), but none with floppy ears!! Too cute!!

These girls are half Boer and half Nubian. This is the breeds I want to go with now. I will be selling Zarah and Zeeboo and John Henry and Ira Joe. I think there is more of a market for this mix here right now. I am having a hard time selling the LaManchas. I do have little Ella Belle sold when she's weaned. But I still have Ira Joe. I sure wish I had kept Arlo Guthrie. But I'll find another Boer buck by the end of summer.

I love the ears too! And these girls have small faces with more of a Roman nose like the Nubian.
