Update: More babies have arrived making the total so far 15 kids.
On a cold winter night, January 4,2008, six new babies were born at Curt's Goat Farm. Two goats had 3 babies each. My husband had made numerous trips to the barn and before we went to bed we knew there were six. Since goats only have 2 feeding places, my husband hardly slept, wondering if all the babies were getting milk. First thing this morning, he took a trip to town to buy a baby bottle. He has been helping the nannies feed their kids. They are all up on their feet .. expected to do well. So far he has 5 girls and 1 boy.
These are the second born. They are not too active yet. Still huddled together staying warm.
These are the first born. They are up on their feet exploring their world. Too active to get them all together in one picture.
As I've said before, I am not an animal lover, but even I think baby goats are cute!!

Yep Cute very cute - esp the last photo.
Hope your DH got some sleep in the end.
Come Swanning with me
You know I'm not a goat person, but if I were, I'd take a Boer! They're so cute with those floppy ears! How grand to have two sets of triplets. Looking forward to seeing them grow up.
So cute...
Oh, they are SOOOOOOO cute!!!
Good Evening Ann,
Awwww, those baby goats are precious. I'm like you, I'm no animal lover, but who could resist those baby goats. I'm glad they are doing well tho. Maybe the first 2 will be up on their feet in a week or so. "THANK YOU" for sharing the baby goats with us. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
I am an animal lover and these babies are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Yay! I'm so excited that they're finally here! I wish I could be there to see for myself! Tell granddaddy congrats! Haha! And thank you for sharing the pictures of them. How sweet they look!
You'er not fooling anyone- you are as delighted with these precious babies as your hubby! And what's not to like? They're adorable!
Congrats on your new "grand-goats"!

My mom just had her first batch of babies too! Each year she gets attached to one or two that need to be bottle fed and they end up roaming around the house and stuff on busy days. One year she had a very tiny runt of her one pigmy goat that wasn't expected to survive. She nursed it to health and he (named Lucky) played in a large laundry basket throughout the day. It was very amusing!
how cute!! too bad they grow up....
What clever girls those Mamas are to have 3 each! They are beautiful, & if I was there, I would be helping with the feedings! LOL. I used to love feeding the orphan lambs, & would get up during the night to keep up the feeds.
I AM a goat person. I raised them in high school as part of my FFA project, so love to see those adorable little faces on your site. ahhh...
I'm not much of a goat person either, but those were really cute. ec
Cute for goats. Actually, goats are cuter than sheep but sheep have wool.
Awww... you have more grandbabies! They are so cute, and as many as you have seen, you can never get tired of seeing cute little babies! I hope Curt doesn't stress too much... hope the mamas can do their job!
I'm not much of an animal person either, but this just proves that babies of any species are precious. Loved the pictures!!
Awww, they are very cute! I love animals, and I wouldn't mind feeding them anytime of the day. Did you take the pictures, Ann?
Thank you for sharing those sweet little kids.

Yay for more kids! Haha!
I do love animals, and there is nothing more lovable than a sweet baby goat. You lucky girl, you have six!
