Awwww.....


Emma's Babies!

She had a girl -- black with 1 white spot (and maybe blue eyes)



And a boy -- tricolor (sorry about the slightly gory pic)


I'm happy to report, everybody is doing well.  True to form, mom looks after her babies but just won't nurse them.  Crazy girl!  So I'm milking her out, putting it in bottles and giving it to the babies.  They are starting to get the idea that mom is (unfortunately) not their source of food, but instead, that I am.

So after sleeping on it (sort of... feedings every 4 hours make it difficult to really get some restful sleep), I've decided to offer the babies up for sale as well. It's always so hard to make the call as to who stays and who goes.  I wish I could keep them all!  Emma's doeling is $300, the boy is $200 intact or $100 as a wether.  I will consider a generous discount if all three go together!

For Sale: Indigo Creek Emma - $450

It is with a heavy heart, that I make the decision to offer up Emma for sale.



Emma will be sold IN MILK after she kids on or about 2/26.  This will be her second kidding.  She is a great milker, but is not a good mother.  If you want lots of milk and like to raise bottle babies, this may be the goat for you.  I prefer to have all kids dam raised, so she is not a good fit for me, but I will dearly miss all her delicious ORGANIC milk!  Yes, she has only been feed organic grain and pesticide free hay.  

Her kids may be for sale as well but I will evaluate the situation and make a decision once she kids (as bottle babies or weaned).   Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to visit!
