Goat-O-Rama Nubbin is an ADGA registered three-year-old Alpine/Nubian doe with two freshenings under her belt. She kidded each time without assistance and is a wonderful mother. Nubbin’s mothering instinct is so strong, in fact, that she even adopted a couple of week-old bottle babies last spring even though her own kids had been weaned for almost a year. She … Continue reading Goat-O-Rama Nubbin
Nubbin loves machines. If there’s a truck or a tractor for this girl to play on, she’s all over it! Born June 15, 2013, Nubbin is the daughter of our Alpine doe, Nibbles and a lovely Kastdemur Nubian buck. She looks like her daddy. Nubbin is our softest goat and has beautiful, soulful eyes. She … Continue reading Nubbin
I mentioned that Nubbin is the Tower Queen. I did not mention that she is also the Tractor Queen. As those who follow the Goat-O-Rama adventures may recall, Nubbin has a great affinity for trucks. Well, it turns out this gal just likes machines! While all the other goats sun themselves in the grass, where is Nubbin? … Continue reading Nubbin lends a hand
Well, I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but we’ve been calling the new little one “Nubbin”. Perhaps not so suited to such a big girl, but it sounds so well with “Nibbles”. I don’t have any new photos since mostly she’s spent the last few days sleeping in the shed. Today she was out … Continue reading Nibbles, Nubbin, and Lilly the “diva mom”
My faithful readers will recall how FAT Nubbin was in the photo taken a few days before her due date. The poor girl could hardly waddle about. You know how it looks when someone tries to push a wide, heavy table across a carpet by themselves, rocking it back and forth and lifting one leg … Continue reading The Nublets: The Whole Story
It’s too late to relay the saga tonight, but after Carole and I waited up with her through the night, Nubbin finally delivered quadruplets this morning around 8:00! Four GIRLS!!! Carole is over the moon. Please say a little prayer for Nubbin who is totally exhausted by the ordeal and currently wants nothing to do … Continue reading Nublets!!!
…She sits AROUND the house!! I went out to visit Nubbin this afternoon. The poor girl has been huge for a month and can barely heave herself up, but she can’t get comfortable laying down either. She’s due this weekend but her owner induced this morning so she should have kids sometime tonight or tomorrow. … Continue reading When She Sits Around the House…
For whatever reason, the Christmas 2019 season was one of the best ever. It was filled with fun, friends, celebrations, gatherings, caroling, light, and music. There seemed no end to the festivities. And Petunia felt good during the week of Christmas. She’d been sick off and on since October and had been steadily losing weight. … Continue reading Hail the Queen!
It’s been so busy around here that I’m afraid I haven’t been a very good blogger. Day 11 was our last day of “goat vacation.” We packed up and headed out of Escalante the next morning. We had a beautiful drive over the Utah mountains. A pinkish haze drifted across them from some distant wildfire. … Continue reading Fall Fell… Where was I?
