Bouncy Babies and St. Patty's Gift Packs



We have snow on the ground here.
So these 6 day old baby goats get to
have their play time in our laundry room.
I think they were playing Rodeo.
Good gosh but they are fun!

Something else that was fun
was making these St Patrick's Day gift packs
that my son-in-law's mother ordered.
She lives in Albuquerque, NM.
I love it when I get to be creative.


















































I even tossed in shamrock confetti just for fun.

Check out all the Farm Friend Friday posts
over at  Verde Farm.













Have a great weekend everyone!

I laughed at that video and loved it. I can't wait till my kids arrive.

What kind of goat milk did you use for the gifts?

Michaele said...

ChaiChai - I have a freezer full of goat milk from our Nubians that we used to have. I can't wait to try the Nigerian Dwarf milk when we start milking again.

Ok--hands down the cutest thing I’ve every seen!! I am smiling from ear to ear. You could also call it “popcorn” :) They remind me of little popcorns popping. What kind of goats are these? How big do they get at maturity? I want goats so badly I can’t stand it!!
Thanks for sharing with FFF!

Those ND goats are darling. We love ours. We have a crier though. She is out there yelling at me and her bottle is an hour away. I swear she's saying, "Maaaama!"

Do you sell you soap and lotion online?

Joani said...

Those were so cute. They need something to jump on...bucket, boxes, tubs.....so cute.

Michaele said...

Amy - these are Nigerian Dwarfs. Ideally they should be 17' - 19" in height when grown. I am tempted to name the little white one Popcorn.

Kim - I am working on a website, but, one goat owner to another, I am sure you know how much spare time there is. Wish I would have gotten it done before now.

Joani - I have some old furniture and can't wait for them to get big enough to play on it. They have some plastic tubs to play on in their pen for now.

That would be great with an Irish jig. How they keep the hind feet together as they hop. Too cute.

Leontien said...

The gift packs look great and my little sister would be so jealous to see those little goats!

Thanks

We just had kids too! Isn't it wonderful to have kids around?

Liesl said...

Those babies are just too cute for words!

Sheeps and Peeps Farm said...

Have to agree with everyone else, those are some CUTE babies! Your St. Patty's Gift Packs look fabulous.

I think you must be feeding them jumping beans. They are so funny to watch - how do you get anything done?!

Leontien said...

Heee Michaele! I got the soap in and i LOVE it! Thank you sooo much! I put it in my office and now everything doesn't smell like cow but like fresh summer!

Thanks!
Leontien
