New Life

I have a part-time job working for a woman Dr. that lives up the road from me.  I do a variety of tasks and one of them is to keep her animals fed and watered.  

About 6 months ago she got some goats to help with her ag exemption with the hope that they would eventually have babies. If the baby turned out to be a doe then she would either keep or sell to someone.  If the baby turned out to be a buck then she would have several decisions to make.  One would be that she would have to castrate it to be sold for Bar-B-Que or not castrate and sold to someone looking to expand their herd. 

 That may sound harsh for some of you out there but that's what life is like in the country.  You need to pull your own weight in some form or fashion or you are bound for greener pastures...and sometimes not on this earthly plain. 

These two adorable little guys were born not last night but the night before.  They are both little bucks so their fate will be decided in just a few short weeks.  But at this age they are almost too precious for words.  

We have two more momma's that are pregnant.  One will probably give birth within the next two weeks and the other momma will be a little later than that. 

With any luck the other does will give birth to girls.  At any rate we're looking forward to more babies in the near future.
