Then she delivered her fist kid- it looks to be a dark brown doeling  but there’s a patch of missing skin on her side.  I do not think my exams should have caused this.  I know that with people you can have cutis aplasia, but it looks  more like an injury to me.  I am just not sure how she could have been injured like this.
Then Angie delivered her second kid, and it’s what I have always wanted- a red fiber goat!  I have been coveting red Angora goats for a long time but never found one for sale.  I have tried now three times to breed Angie to produce a red kid and have gotten black and brown instead.  So I am absolutely thrilled.  It’s a little buckling so that leads to the decision of whether to keep him intact or not.  I do not see a need at his time to breed him in my herd but at least I have some weeks to decide what to do.
Angie took good care of both of them, but they could not figure out how to nurse so finally I milked one side out and bottle fed Mr. D. (the red buckling).  While I was doing this Lady Jane (the brown doeling) figured out how to latch on with a little help.  So both should be just fine.
