Hanna and Tulip

Last fall I sold a bunch of goats. I had too many to fit in the barn for the winter. It was sad to see them go since all of them have been here since birth. I decided not to breed any in the fall because kidding time is so stressful and I have enough milk in the freezer.
The fellow who bought Hanna and Tulip is now selling his whole herd, and guess who is in the barn again? You got it - Hanna and Tulip! Tulip is due to kid May 6th - today! She was bred to a Nubian buck (long floppy ears and roman nose). We might have some interesting kids. Hanna did not take. Which, in the goat world, means the breeding attempt was not successful.
