Peaches ‘n Cream

As some of you may know from reading the "Meet the Goats" page, our matriach of the goat herd, Snow, has been living a life of leisure in her golden years. She has not been having kids for several years since she became very ill after her last kidding. Well, I mistakenly left the young male kids in with the herd a little too long last summer, and now Snow is the proud mother of twins! This morning we discovered the big black and white male kid who looks similar to a koala bear, and his petite gray and white sister. They are both healthy and strong and have nursed well. Since they were born on my brother Henry's birthday, we have named the male Henry in his honor. The female is Fiona because she looks like a Celtic maiden, white and fair. -January 8, 2011
