Still no baby goats!!
-
We decided to name these first two babies Marmite and Vegemite (in honour of our recent Aotearoa New Zealand trip). They are absurdly cute still.
How many more baby goats will happen today in between my zoom meetings?
They are very, very cute!
Hope your meetings are as short as they need to be and the rest of the mamas give birth during the day!

@sundogplanets she sounds like a human!
@deborahh Yeah! For-real goats sound like humans imitating a goat

@sundogplanets
So adorbs -
the two little ones seem to have very different voices. is it normal that one is so low and the other so high? or are they "saying" something different and the sound of the voices would change if they say something different?
(hope i could convey my question)
@babblingaboutstuff I think it's the mama and the baby, so yeah, the babies start off with much higher-pitched voices. Super cute.

@sundogplanets
Fun fact: Everybody loves baby goats.
Everybody.@wdormann I once brought 2 bottle babies to my kids' school. The principal was completely enamored, even after one of them peed on the floor in his office, he asked (hopefully) if I needed any help escorting the babies to the classrooms they were visiting. Goats are irresistible!

@sundogplanets gd they're so cute i just want to squish them
@MelkyWay I'll be sure to give them extra (gentle!) squishes for you next time I go out to the barn

@sundogplanets Do you use cameras or do you have to shuffle out to the barn at 2am to check on them?
@sortova I have to put on a hat and a scarf and a snowsuit and boots and gloves and a headlamp over my pajamas and walk across the snow to the barn. It really sucks. ESPECIALLY when it's cloudy and there are no stars to look at, as has been the case the last 3 nights.
But, baby goats!!

@sundogplanets So adorable.
We live on 73 hectares in a national forest in North Carolina, US. Horses, not goats. Chickens and geese, not ducks.
And it's 32C here (grin)
If you don't have cameras because of no network access, this is what I did to get it to our barn. But then it may be hard to check on them outside of being there in person.
The things we do for our critters.

At the risk of Too Much Goat, I'll keep going with this thread for today's #BabyGoatCountdown adventures, whatever they end up being.
No new baby goats overnight or early this morning, I am very appreciative of their patience, because it would have been really hard to goat-shuffle at 2am.
It is very cold and snowy today, and I kept all the goats who look close to kidding inside the barn stalls where it's a little warmer. At least it's pretty!
there's no such thing as too much goat
