More re-arranging on the farm

This weekend we said goodbye to our buck, Leo.  Our girls are obviously pregnant, and I came across another baby buck I just had to have.

Leo (dark brown) with the girls (and the sheep).  Snowball is the white one, Dory is the lighter brown one in the lower right.


Here you can see his lovely frosted ears and the white splash on his side.  He was shedding, and will end up a darker brown than in this picture.


This was his dad, The Beau Acres Luke.  LOVE the spots!  He had the frosted ears, too.  Gorgeous boy, I'm hoping we get some very pretty babies, even though Leo didn't end up with all the spots like his dad.


And this is the baby who will be joining us.  SO pretty!  This picture does not do him justice!  He is cream colored, with a white splash and white socks, and smudge-colored spots.   He can come home as soon as we have other babies to keep him company.  


He may be home quite soon!  Snowball will be kidding any day now.   She is very bagged up now, and her backbone just above her tail is very prominent - the ligaments on the sides are receding.  Dory has started bagging up, but her udder doesn't look nearly as full.  Still, they can fool you.  Looking forward to babies, even though the bottle feeding and milking chores will add to already-busy days.  Those are the chores I look forward to!
