For the next few months you will be seeing lots of goat pictures (I hope you don't mind!) To me, there is nothing cuter than a kid. They are so tiny and yet so well developed. Myrtle spends her whole day taking care of them....she even head-butts me with her horns when I get too close to her babies....just a warning and a reminder that they are HERS!!
Becky and I cleaned out the maternity ward yesterday, so the triplets got to go outside to play for a few minutes. They are amazingly inquisitive and already quite agile. It won't be long until they are scampering and jumping all over their yard.
The little black and white kid is a buckling and the tri-colored brown twins are doelings. It appears that their eyes are blue/tan marbled...at least for now.
They have only been here for 48 hours and already we are hopelessly in love with these little kids!
