Finally spring in Ontario

[Traveller]

Thought I'd share a pic of some new kids on the block.
Just a few hours old.
Spring came early here in Ontario but it really isn't here until
you have some of these in the barn.

AAaawww! I love that natural "smile" on their sweet little faces.

Will they get names or just numbers?

 

[Traveller]

Oh yes the kids will definitely have names, all starting with the letter "X".:shy:
Now that is going to be a challenge finding names.
I should start a poll to get some help in naming all of them.
The tags do look a little large don't they, at least until they grow into them.

How are the tags attached to their ears...?

They are adorable.. Goats are so cute..

But I am terrified of them.. Had a terrible experience when I was a little kid.. and it was something that could scar a small child. ): But they are so darn cute.

 

[Traveller]

Aw sorry to hear you had a bad experience as a child concerning goats. After all they are adorable as you say.

The tags are just like an earring.

I LOVE baby goats! They are so adorable.
Xavier is my favorite "X" name. (Pronounced 'Zavier')

 

[Isa]

Awww I love Baby goats too They are so cute and have sweet little faces!

 

[Traveller]

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Anymore suggestions for names, I'm all ears.
We're up to 10 kids so far and 5 does to go.

Here's one list from Google:

Good luck finding enough names! X is a tough letter.

awwww i love goats especially the rectangular pupils
if I ever get a small farm i want goats and pigs and of course torts
congrats though they are too cute

 

[Traveller]

Thanks for the link Stephanie Logan, I'll definitely check it out. I do usually use lists like that but X is for sure a tough letter.

Chikit thanks I will use Xavier,

dmward I do like Xander also.

Itort, the market up here is favourable, but at times can be seasonal.
I raise mine for show and also most for our own use but I do send a handful every year to buyers in Ottawa or Toronto.

We had another 4 doelings born yesterday, with 4 does yet to go.
