I think that the rectangular pupil of a goats eye is very interesting and with the gold color of the eye they are beautiful.

Luna is an Alpine/Oberhasli/Nigerian mix. She is two years old. Luna started out life with her front legs bent under her in the womb and the tendons tightened up that way. We used splints and stretching exercises to loosen the tendons. She walks just fine now you would never know. Last year Luna and Nisha plotted against us to get extra feed. They both pretended to be pregnant. Hopefully this year she is pregnant. She is due around May 20th

(DJ Mitchell & Suellen Hockey Photo) This is Minnie and her second kidd Astra born in 2009.
Minnie is a wonderful mom. She is due to kidd around April 14th. We have never gotten to see her kidd. She doesn’t let on when she is in labor and goes off by herself to have her kidd. We know she has kidded when we look outside and see an extra baby goat.

Sugar is a pure bred Alpine and should be the next goat to have kidds with a due date around April 7th. We got Sugar last year. This will be her second kidding (birthing) and our first kidding with her.

Nisha is a pure bred Alpine and hopefully pregnant this year. Last year she had us fooled up to her due date. Note the arrows on the above picture from last year. Those look like baby bumps. This year her due date is around March 31st.

Christy is a Oberhasli/Alpine mix. We will not be breeding her this year. She deserves a break. The past two years she has given us triplets. She turns into a very wide load.
