Good morning from baby goat land! Still just the 2 babies so far, but 1 mama goat is due today and 1 tomorrow, so there should be more soon!

(I hope they have them earlier rather than later, toward the end of this week I have to spend a bunch of time on campus...)

A tiny white goat stands next to a metal-sided building, while a tiny black baby goat leaps in the air off a short concrete ledge. In one corner of the picture, the yellowish livestock guardian dog is rolled over on his back and looks completely ridiculous

Learning how those wobbly little legs work

2 baby goats, one white and one black, in a farmyard surrounded by a metal-sided building and tall wooden fences, trying to climb up and jump down from a small concrete ledge. They keep gently crashing.

I'm looking forward to lots of sproingy-sproingy baby goat leaping action once they do!

Had some grading deadlines (which I am...probably not going to make). So, took me a bit to post these, but enjoy these brand new goats!

The mama had them in the big outside barn, so we moved all of them in to the warmer baby stall, and once the babies started nursing and the placenta came out, we're 95% in the clear and can (mostly) relax.

And then this happened. The llama was pretty ok becoming a goat playground, and the baby goat seemed to enjoy his luxurious, floofy coat (that badly needs to be sheared...almost warm enough to finally do that)

The llama in the same position, now looking possibly mildly annoyed as a tiny black goat and a tiny white goat scale his floofy back.

@sundogplanets awwwwww! Hey, is it true that Llamas have a better temperament than Alpacas?

@kimlockhartga I don't have a comparison because I've never been around an alpaca, but my llama is super chill

@sundogplanets it's a goat that thinks it's a dog.... a goog, or a gag, depending on your hyperlocal farm terms dialect
