Of all the eleven kids born in March, only three were boys. They've been weaned, and now they are with the two big boys.
Lily's twins, Red and Rover are getting to be very big. Rover is quiet and shy. He sidesteps when the human tries to pet him.
Red is the one that has a bit of an issue. We all thought he had gotten past this, but now he was stuck again. It's a good thing he has a big mouth and can holler at the human.
Mason is Pam's baby. He's such a sweet kid. He likes the human to scratch his head between those horns. He likes to hang out with Marley.
The human hopes she can find forever homes for them. Here they come. Medium boys in front and big boys in back.
Jack is the one that gets to be with most of us. He has given us a lot of polled kids this year. Obviously, the human wishes Red had gotten that gene from his dad.
Jack acts very much like a kid himself. He always tries to push his head in the food pitcher, spilling it. He also likes to help the human shovel snow in the winter. She says he's not much help.
Doesn't Marley look sweet? Just like little boys sleeping, big boys are sweet when they're asleep.
When he's awake, Marley is a giant goofball.
"Help, there's a fence stuck in my eye." He reminds us all of his dad, Goliath. The human even calls him that half the time.
I must say the big boys are already starting to get stinky to try to impress us. We're not impressed, but they are busy getting all gussied up with, shall we say hair gel and cologne. Goliath was the king of stink.
We hope Marley doesn't take after his dad this way. Are your boys getting stinky, yet?

I remember that stink. Can't say as how I miss it. I do miss the does and kids but not the smell. Cute goats.
Had to laugh when I saw Red! We went through that with one of our wethers a while back.Everyday,two and sometimes three times a day we would hear him start to holler and know it was time to go get his head unstuck!Our 2 little bucks were starting to get fragrant...we sold one and will probably sell the other soon!
all our boys are fixed, except for the newest baby Rocky. I have to decide if he will get fixed and stay, or if we need to find him a home where he can be a beautiful, 3 color fainting sire.
I love how fixed boys don't stink!!!!
I like that 'fro look...
Ours are wethered except for my studmuffin Luke. And yes, he is getting delightfully stinky.
The boys on your farm are so handsome! I love Marley's hairdo. There are no boy goats on the farm I work at anymore (they are living as wethers at a primate sanctuary), but I do hope to get a baby buckling next year when I am at my own farm.
We are keeping Bud (per the human's promise), but he hasn't been wethered yet. She's thinking about trying for double polled babies from him and Jack's daughters.
We don't know where Marley's curls come from. His dad has the long bangs, but not the curls.
Oh ya Harrison gets really ripe, tee hee... but we love him anyway :O)...
Did your lady go get you two pair of boots?
Oh, it would be nice to have boots to keep our feet out of the mud. Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to show you how we keep our feet kind of dry.
Yes, Millie, our two oldest boys are really gussying themselves up and making quite a nuisance out of themselves. I was hoping they would hold off until a little later in the year, but no go. I can't tell you how many times I've asked them to mind their manners and stop with the stinkiness but the little Nigerian and the Nigora bucks just do want they want and to top it off, I think they're leading our little buckling astray. Hope you get some booties.
