~NEW BABIES~

Great News!!! Velvet (our main pygmy doe) had twins on June 30th!! This was a huge surprise...we thought she had a month or so left to go before she would kid...but she obviously had a different perspective. Anyway, she had a baby boy and girl whom we've named Brownie and Cocoa. As you can tell by the names they have a lot of brown on them...they are also the kids of our boer buck. They're the first pygmy/nigerian/boer mix we've had! They are so cute! And Katrina (another pygmy doe) also kidded on July 8th and had a beautiful baby boy who's name is Hosea! This doe was the one we thought for sure would kid before Velvet...but I guess you could say they both had different ideas. Hosea is also the son of our boer buck and is almost all white with a creamy light brown on a couple different parts of his body. He is very fluffy and healthy! We all love him to pieces! So far we've had 8 babies born this year and more on the way!!! Annaliese, Genevieve,Charlotte, Arthur, Gracie, Cocoa, Brownie, and Hosea...and like I said MORE ON THE WAY!!!
