Kidding Season 2026

Kidding season is officially underway here!

Poppy had her baby!! A boy of course. But she had a very nice easy labor, so we'll take it.

For those newer to following along, a few things we keep an eye on as kidding approaches include softening ligaments, changes in posture, and subtle shifts in behavior. Most does prefer solitude, and no two deliveries ever look exactly alike. Our role is mostly to observe, stay ready, and step in only if needed.

I do try to be there for every birth, but remain as hands off as possible until they actually make it out. This is one of those times that if something goes sideways, earlier intervention is better and can be the difference between live kids and healthy doe or not. I actually keep a baby monitor camera on them so I'm not bugging them so much.

This year we’re expecting babies January and May/June.

We’re excited to meet this next generation and share them with you. Stay tuned to watch each pairing “load” their little ones!

We have three coming first fresheners, Poppy, Ruby, and Tilly.

The vet was out at the end of October for herd testing. Everyone tested negative for everything as expected. We'll be keeping a closed herd the next couple years. The only additions will be our own home grown kids. We don't show, so nobody will be leaving and bringing anything home, either. See our Herd Health page for more info. Documentation can be provided upon request.

We disbud here if they're not born polled. If you are looking for a horned kid, we can accommodate with a non refundable deposit. All kids being sold will be registered and DNA sent off for the bucklings.

I reserve the right to retain any kids born here. I don't ask for deposits on reservations.
