We believe that Priscilla is expecting. Its been well over 21 days since her last heat and she is showing no signs of having another heat cycle. We are hoping for babies but since being new to all of this we are not absolutely positive she is expecting but all signs point to that she is.
Priscilla - Purebred Nubian
Priscilla has had babies before and she is such a wonderful mother. We have her babies from last year here with us on our farm. Her previous babies are two girls named Abby and Maddie. They are both strawberry roan in color with some spots of white on them. I'm hoping again for girls since they are much higher in demand than boys. Boys would be fine too but we just really want them to be healthy. We are hoping for spotted goats as we know that Priscilla has produced some spots on the girls she has now and the dad, Brady, his mom was a full spotted Nubian. We will just have to wait and see.
Maddie & Abby 1 month old, you can see the spots they have.
We can't forget the daddy too though. Brady took his time figuring out what was suppose to be done but thankfully he figured it out. This is his first year breeding as he is a young buck at only 8 months old at the time of his first service.
Brady - American Nubian
Brady is such a sweet boy. He loves attention and rubs on his neck and is very friendly. Along with Priscilla's quiet, sweet nature, I'm sure their babies will have wonderful personalities. Babies will also be registrable with the ADGA (American Dairy Goat Association) as American Nubians.
If all is well, the babies will be due the beginning of February of 2012.
