The kids keep on coming ......................  on Saturday 13 Jul  2013 whilst Heather and I were out buying hay and other assorted food stuffs for the animals Lik-Lik, one of our toggie/nubian cross does decided it was a fine time to have a little buck.  As we were coming back down the drive-way Heather slowed the ute and made the comment that one of the kids had hooked onto Lik Lik.  I said “nah – it must be Numbawan (her twin) as Lik Lik wouldn’t allow a random kid to latch hold and...

On Sunday 23 June 2013 two of our does kidded.  First girl to go was Sienna (a Toggenburg/Anglo Nubian cross) who gave birth to two big bucks at about 1030ish.  Heather was doing the normal Sunday morning chores and when she went to collect the eggs she noticed Sienna with her back leg and teats pointing towards the sky and a little wriggly thing on the ground.  I was up the driveway whipper-snipping and Heather drove up to get me.  By the time we got back Sienna was about half way through de...

We have had more new inhabitants at Em Nau. On Sunday 16 June 2013 “Zee” (one of our Anglo Nubian does) had three little kids – one doe and two bucks.  The doe was the first one born at about 5PM and was a breech.  Unfortunately in the struggle Zee had to get her out we believe the does back/spine was damaged which resulted in her being unable to stand.

The second kid born was a big, and I do mean big, buck.  He was born about ten minutes after the doe and was very strong at the start...

We have had an explosion in new inhabitants at Em Nau. On Friday 03 May 2013 Sierra (one of our Toggenburg/Nubian cross doe) had two little does.  The does, we call Erave (sounds like E-rah-vay) and Erame (sounds like E-rah-may) are the most beautiful little things.  We expect them to have some “cousins” over the next few weeks as a number of our other does are just about ready to kid.  The expected arrivals will be either full Nubian, Saanen/Nubian cross or Toggenburg/Nubian cross - depe...

We have our first ever goat baby - a little doe.. Cooee!!

Let it be known that Em Nau Nambawan has arrived!!

Last night (09/07/12), Sienna (toggie/nubian cross) squirted/squeezed out a little girl. Sienna has been busy licking all the goop off - Nambawan has been up already having a suck and hooking into the milk bar. Ooohhhh...... How Excitement!!

It seems that the unknown buck that thought Sienna was too good to walk past was aToggie buck, and no...

I left off on my last jotting saying We plan to get our goats (four in total) over the Easter long weekend – well over Easter we only picked up two goats as the other two weren’t fit enough to travel, it seems that they had a tummy upset from some food they ate and weren’t in any shape for us to take ownership.

Drama’s aplenty over Easter (aside from two “pek-pek water” goats).  The eldest son of the Child-bride and myself was admitted to hospital on Easter Saturday with hear...
