Heart of Mine is my new purebred doeling I got for a Mother's Day gift.
Me & Heart the day I picked her up to bring her home.
Months ago when I went to pick up my new little buckling, Dream from Davis Run Nubians. Jenny and her daughter Davis showed me around and I got to meet her herd.
I spotted a new mom with triplets. They were so cute and small. They had just been born a few days prior. I of course was drawn to them because all the babies were black. For some reason I am currently drawn to black goats. I just love how sleek their coats look.
Anyway, I of course asked if they were for sale, especially the little doeling that had gorgeous white markings on her. Jenny said they hadn't decided yet but they were pretty sure they were keeping her. So on we went with the tour and while we were in another baby pen, Jenny brought me the little doeling asking her daughter Davis is she wanted to keep her and Davis said it was okay to sell her!!! Jenny put the doeling in my arms and I was done for.
Now came the hard part convincing my hubby to let me have her. To make a long story short, he said yes and that she could be my Mother's Day gift!!! Now most people wouldn't want a goat for a mother's day gift but it was PERFECT for me!!!
We decided to have the dam raise her since I already had 2 bottle babies at home. So she stayed at Davis Run Nubians for the next 8 weeks until she was old enough to be weaned from her mom.
Heart on the ride home
Heart is a big girl. She weighed 36lbs at 8 weeks old and barely fit in the basket I brought for her. We made it work and got her home.
If your wondering about the title of this post, it is her name. Her full name pending ADGA approval will be Davis Run Time's Heart of Mine. As you all know, I love all things Scottish so of course I had to incorporate that if I could. In Scottish Gaelic the word Heart is cridhe. It is pronounced Cree.
Heart's call name is Cree.
Cree comes from excellent blood & milking lines and I am so excited to be adding them to my herd through Cree.

Cree has now been with the herd for a few weeks now and she is doing wonderful. She stays close to Whimsey, I think she thinks she is her mama, since they are both black. Thankfully Whimsey is a sweet doe and doesn't mind it. Cree has also become best friends with our other new doeling Juliet. They go everywhere together and if one wanders away to far the other will start yelling for them. I'm so happy they have each other to grow up with.
Of course I can't forget to show a bunch of pics, so here they are.

Cree - isn't she gorgeous?

I can't wait to watch her develop and see what she will produce in kids and milk.
