We did it again. . . got a couple more goats! Yesterday we picked up Athena and Helena. They are Snubian does (Nubian/Saanen). They are both very big and strong does. Thank you to Lexy of Rushtawin Nubians for these girls! Here are a few pictures of them - these photos were taken right before we loaded them up to come home.
This is Goldthwaite Athena II. She is probably bred and due in 1 to 1 1/2 months.
This is Goldthwaite Helena II. She is currently milking.

Yesterday we picked my Grandma up at the airport, all the way from California! I may not be blogging as much as we'll be busy with normal life and doing other things - going places, renting a skating rink for my sister's b-day, etc..
As a quick update - the Boer doe that I posted about last time who had pneumonia - we lost her on Sunday :(. Upon necropsy it looked like about 70% of her lungs were infected and there was something wrong with her neck, possibly listeriosis. Anyway, sad to have lost her, she was actually getting way better and put up a good fight :(.
Everyone else is doing *wonderful*. Very thankful for that.
If anyone is looking for HAY - we have some! Just got another load in. It smells great!
Have a good day!

I'm sorry you lost the doe that was fight pneumonia. I've had a battle with it here this summer. It looks like everyone is doing fine now though. I was really watching one of my little nubian does closely when she was in the worst of it though. She spent a couple of days in the house with me.
Congratulations on your new does. They look like they'll be great milkers!
Suriyah,
So sorry to hear about the boer doe:(
Glad to hear everyone else is doing good.
The 2 new additions look promising! Congrats:)
