Here they are. Our new milking goats. La Manchas are here.
I have just a few photos for you and some introductions. They are such nice animals. They love to be stroked and are not noisy at all. Quiet wee goats but busy, busy. Goats love people and also love chewing on people. I am really enjoying this little herd so far.
I have named my two does Freya and Hazel. 
This is Freya she is brown and looks like a little dog –
and Hazel is black and white and she has the most beautiful markings.
They very sweetly posed together.
The two handsome Billy Goats are to be called Hans Halkon and Carl Gustav – they belong to the lady up the road so she has named them.
Hans (the little black one) was hard to capture an image of as he is a very energetic wee goat. But Carl is quite the poser and the epitomy of goat. 
A stunning boy. I will keep them all here while I am still bottle feeding them and after a while the Billys will toddle off down the road to live with their owner and keep her grass down. Then in the late winter we will borrow one buck back to breed our two girls. Using the other one the following year. 
There is Hazel in the front and Freya standing behind her with Carl Gustav on the left. I need to take their tape collars off now that they are named.
Boo spent the first half of the day watching them from outside of the pen but by the late afternoon he was in there. Sleeping with them. He cannot resist babies. 
There is Hans in the foreground.
So there you are. The goats are here. I guess it had to happen! And if all goes well – this time next year we will be milking goats and cows.
I will see you in the morning..
Love your friend on the farm

Thank you for letting us see the babies straightaway. You must have been tired after your long day. Boo is a treasure – like Nana in Alice in Wonderland! You called the females “does” which I thought was rabbits or deer. I always thought females were nanny goats. I hope they settle into their new home quickly – they already have so many Farmy Fellowship Fans!
love, ViV
they are absolutely gorgeous….beautiful , cute and very cuddly…Boo always does an excellent parenting job.,,what animal next I ask? Llama?
I am like Boo. I cannot resist babies, either. We have a farm close by that has La Manchas. They have a Great Pyrenees that lives with them to keep them safe from predators. He’s a fierce thing and takes his job very seriously. Those goats were the first earless I had ever seen. It will be an advantage in the coldest weather, I would think.
I will follow up Patrecia at 4 a.m. with my comment at almost 9 a.m. (Reading this at my regular good morning time for your news, Celi.) I wanted to add my delight at your’s, Linnea’s, & Boo’s new babies. They are so adorable & have completely won me over…I was never sure about the La Manchas ears…because I had Toggenburgs for a few years and their ears were so beautiful & distinctive. My goats were descendants of Mrs. Carl Sandburg’s Flat Rock champion Toggenburgs, one of her main breeds. I just wanted to add the names of my goats–they came to me with the names: Milky Way & Snickers. I had high hopes of breeding a dear little Baby Ruth, but instead got the irascible Zero! In the end Zero went on to life as a “Brusher”, eating weeds on a farm down the road. Though all of them preferred iris & azaleas to ragweed & poison ivy, my goats were such fun & Unforgettable.

Yaay! More baby antics with Nanny Boo!
I adore goats! I always have. A friend and neighbor of mine has about 60 or so and whenever my granddaughters visit they love to stop by and see them. Especially in the spring 🙂 . Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a lovely week ~ Lisa
Gorgeous – and they do look like dogs…how funny!!
Boo hasn’t had babies to tend for awhile. 🙂 Pretty goats, I like your new additions to the farmy.
