New Nigerian Dwarf Goat & We think she's PREGNANT!

 

Meet our new Nigerian Dwarf Goat, Bo-Peep. We go Bo-Peep from Terry over at Oldesouth Goat Farm a month or so ago, & we wanted to introduce her to everyone that watches our homestead vlog, bc lots of fans have been asking if we got a new milk goat here on our farm.

Terry thought that Bo Pee might be pregnant, & and we have been watching her closely, & now we are 100% certain she is indeed pregnant! We can that her udders have really gotten much larger over the past few weeks & also you can see her belly is also growing in size as quell. My daughter actually saw the baby goat moving in her belly this weekend.

I sent Terry a picture of her & her udders, & she said that she looked to be a week from kidding. So we are super excited here on the farm, but at the same time, we are also super nervous!

We have hatched chicks, ducklings, quail, & have had baby piglets born here on the farm, but we have never had a pregnant goat, much less have one go into labor here on our homestead. But we are in good company...Terry & her goat farm, oldesouth farm, is only 15 minutes away, so if we need any help, she's only a phone call away.

But we are super happy, & of course we are hoping she has a little doe kid, but we will be happy either way, even if it is a little buckling kid...as long as everything goes smoothly & everyone stays & is healthy!

So everyone stay tuned for hopefully a new little healthy nigerian dwarf baby goat kid very soon!!

I hope you enjoyed this informative Goat YouTube Video, & if you have any goat questions or any goat comments or any goat recommendations, please feel free to comment or ask!

Congratulations!!

thank you!!!

Goat kids are a blast. Best of luck to you

thanks guys!!

Wow very funny

Oh! buy one get one free! That sounds amazing, but I understand it is scary. We love goats and we hope to have a couple when we get things going here in Northern Spain. It is the mountains so we have some research to do to find a milk goat that will do well in these parts... We have our own species of wild autoctonous mountain goat here (Rupricapra pyrenaica parva)

which makes me think goats should do well here. Will follow so I can hear how labor went and to learn some things hopefully.

Goat kids are the easiest to deal with. We have had them born in 18 degree weather with no problems at all. I actually have found that the summer heat is harder on them then the winter cold. They are also very fun to have around always running and jumping. We of course don't have Nigerian Dwarf though we have larger Nubians, Boer and Kiko goats. I think your dwarf goat babies will be even cuter since they will be that much smaller and I imagine that much easier to deal with since you can fit them in a medium dog kennel. You can't fit my Boers in anything short of a livestock trailer. Be sure to take lots of pictures and video if you have the chance.
