Baby goats!

This morning as we looked out at the pasture we saw a little brown thing. We couldn't figure out what it was. We got halfway to the pasture and realized that it was baby goats.

Moon, our Nubian had 2 little babies.

Melvin, the father is a LaMancha, and they have no ears. Nubians have long floppy ears. The female has the body shape of her father and the coloring of her mother. The boy has the body shape of his mother and the coloring of his father.

Since mom's name is Moon we named the girl Eclipse. The boy with the long floppy ears reminded us of the Christmas movie with the donkey with the long ears, so we named him Nestor.

Unfortunately there was something wrong with Moon and she died this afternoon. So now we have 2 goats in the house
