Maria and Ayla with a goat photobomb in the background

This is pregnant Ayla. We intended to buy Ayla and one of her kids - a doeling, if she had one. Meanwhile, we made plans to purchase any other of her babies - how could we separate the mom from her kids? We are not true farmers yet....

So, on Monday, January 19, we got the email that Ayla had 2 doelings! We had already made arrangements to visit the next day.

How could we not take both? We gave another deposit for the second baby.

 We agreed to wait until the kids were debudded before taking them home.

 We went to visit Ayla today, our pregnant registered dwarf Nigerian goat. We've also purchased one of her kids, if she has a doeling.

She is a very sweet, somewhat shy, small goat. She did not do well when she was shown so we intend to keep her for milk and breeding. With lovely blue eyes, she follows us everywhere. She sits pretty low on the pecking order at her current farm, and we'll be glad to give her space where she's the top goat. If she doesn't give birth to a doeling, then we'll pick one of the does from another dwarf Nigerian goat.
