Tulip is on day 144, she has started to loose her plug. 

Shes due Dec. 29 but I'm lookin for her to kid Dec. 27

The pictures below I took last night while sittin in the goat house, day 143. 

 I noticed alittle blood on Tulips hoohaaaa and figured it was her plug starting to come out.  I wont be surprised if Tulip delivers Quads again this time, shes huge.  I prayed over her and the kids last night, I just want them Tulip and the kids to be safe and healthy

 Keep Tulip and her babies in your prayers

Tulip & Ringo = Dec. 2013 Kids 

My kinda new doeling Dolly

 Dolly arrived at my farm this past Wednesday . Shes been Rachels since the day she was born from my Tulip on May 8th 2012, she is Cocoas sister. Rachel is pretty sure Dolly was bred by Ringo around 9/11 or that following week. Dolly should be due somewhere around February 8th. This is her first freshening. Dolly is a sweet girl, she reminds me of her momma Tulip, she loves to rub on you.  Dolly was here for a few months this past summer, my herd remembers her from birth and the summer months she spent here, I put her in with them today expecting them to shove her around alittle, nope she fits right in, Cocoa and Star have even been playin with her. I'm glad shes come to live on my lil farm so Rachel can come visit her and the kids.

I "think" shes due early February 

I felt baby kicks in her belly this morning

Ringo is back home

...Ringo...

My main buck came back home today, hes been at my friends farm for the past 3 months "Dating" her girls... he kinda likes Ruby right now and she kinda likes him, its gotta be his wonderful man buck smell, they've been flirting through the fence but Ruby is not here to "Date" Ringo, she is here to "Date" Silo. So I've moved Ringo far, far way from Ruby, hes hangin out with Tulip, Star & Cocoa.

Ringo also brought a friend home with him...
I'll talk about that tomorrow 

Ruby & Silo... Dating

Ruby was born from my Star Feb. 18, 13... Its so nice to see her back at my farm for breeding. Stephanie from Buttered Bread Homestead brought her here to "Date" my buckling Silo, she will be stayin at my farm for a few weeks to a month. Keep ya posted 

 Shes not too happy about leaving her home and 

coming here but she'll be ok in a few days.

 Silo doesnt know what to think about his new loud mouth girlfriend yet

 I went to check on them after a few hours... their doin just fine, munching hay together, gettin use to one another, Silo is pushing Ruby Girl around alittle (hes never got to push another goat around yet, hes always been the last in the pecking order).
