Done and done :)
I have to go to work so this is not going to be very detailed. I'll give you details later. Suffice it to say kidding season is over at Almosta Farm. Trixie has had 2 beautiful bucky babies. They were freakishly huge! This picture shows that they are so big their sweaters don't even fit! (Little black bucky is nealing in this picture - he was #2 and is the largest). 
Like I said, I'll give details later. I have to get cleaned up and go to work. (Now all that is left is the foal!) TTFN :)

Now, and finally, there are 10 kids. 4 billies and 6 doelings.
What is a doeling?! I'm not sure what a billie is either. That is so awesome! I am going to have to come up and see them in person! I like the sweaters ;-)
Do come up and see them all in person. Seeing the babies is an awesome experience.
I am not sure why, but there are several ways to refer to goats. A doeling is a young female goat. A doe is a female goat of any age. Nanny also refers to a female goat, (usually an adult female). A billy refers to a male goat(surely you have heard of Billy Goats Gruff!). A Buck is a male goat (usually adult). Billies and Bucks are terms used for fertile male goats. A male goat that has been neutered is called a wether (don't ask me why, it just is). So, there you have it. (Could they have made it more complicated?) TTFN :)
