2015 Kidding Has Begun!

After the long, cold winter we've had, everyone here at Sunny Acres has been anxious for spring to come, and with it, the arrival of the new baby goats.  Today, the wait is over.....the first kids have arrived!  At a mid-morning barn check, we found one doe with very new-born twins....

 a buckling......

and a beautiful doeling!

Not long after that, another young doe kidded for the first time, a lovely and lively doeling.

Meanwhile, the other ladies.....45 of them!......watch and wait.  Soon the barns will be filled!

Even though the wind is howling, the temperature hovers around 40 degrees, and the snow and ice are still with us......our thoughts now turn to SPRING!
