GBN - Goat Baby Network

All goats all the time - or at least that is how it seems when we download the camera! Appears possible we are already done with birthing season. Sweet little goofy face in my hand is the To Remain Unnamed little male born to Castena - goofy little guy was trying to find something to nibble on the tree trunk.

First born were the twins Lantana and Fantana - or Lanny and Fanny - inseparable and irrepressible!


Next - the fabulous face of Susannah - doeling of Montana. Susannah is a little shy and her mama isn't the most attentive but she has buddies with the other kids.

Easily described as the favorite this year - Milky Way is the doeling of Norman and is the official greeter of the Class of 2010. New kids and any person or critter walking into her vicinity warrants a good nibble and snuggle.

Lulu is deceptively sweet in this picture - she is a real pistol - very active and not sure she wants to mess with people. Lulu is the daughter of Lucky.

Last kid born was Caramel - doeling of Flip. Flip is the alpha female in our little herd. Caramel is very sweet and active. Her older sibling - Butterscotch from the Class of 2009 isn't sure she is fond of Carrie yet but Carrie keeps on trying.


Very long poem I'm adding but it is lovely and I could not find a youtube video of the hymn- which was attractive(as in where did they find so many screechy sopranos???) I deleted repeats of the refrain - refrain was the first four lines which were also used in the title of the famous James Herriott stories of a country veterinarian.

All Things Bright and Beautiful...

Author: Ce­cil F. Al­ex­an­der, Hymns for Lit­tle Child­ren, 1848

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
He made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.

The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.


Amen and on Buhlaland is it very good to have all types of creatures - right now reveling in the caprine babies!

Somebody got cheated!

It was evident when looking over recent postings - Milky Way had been done a wrong. She was born two days before the new little doe and never got her moment in the spotlight. Milky Way's dad was named Snickers (so she is a similar candy bar name) and her mama is our beloved doe named Norman.

Milky Way and the yet to be named doeling of Lucky's are turning out to be best buddies. Lucky's girl is actually heavier bodied than her older cousin. So all is even for now - the twins Lanny and Fanny have each other and Milky and new girl are buddying up. It is always good to have a playmate.

In the last goat picture Milky is sniffing the very fence post her goatkeeper/ blogger person ran into and fell onto Saturday night. Most likely Milky is thinking "how weird can you be to fall over something this big?" and I confess when I look at it in the daylight I think the same thing!

Here is a rare self portrait - no makeup and no earrings - obviously vanity is not MY name woman! A bit bruised and tender here on Buhlaland but healing and grateful no worse injury - face, some body bruises and a huge blow to my "rugged farm gal" image!! Y'all will be getting more timely goatzee updates. No Kidding - well actually more kidding would be correct. It is good on Buhlaland - blessed with new healthy lives and protection from our own clumsiness!

The New Girl

My mama's name is Lucky my big sis is Lucy and these humans haven't decided on my name - but I can tell you I have an opinion about the taste of this hay - yuck! I'll take what mama offers for a while.
The second picture is me - being charming - it works 'cause the humans pick you up and snuggle you under their warm coats!
Yep - we now have 4 healthy beautiful little doelings on Buhlaland and that is VERY good.
