This morning our goat Yentl kidded, producing this little girl. She's got a rear leg that's a bit wonky, but otherwise seems fine. Good conditions, no snow on the ground, sunny with temperatures above 5°C. Yentl is two years old, and this is her first. Between the two we're looking at lots of milk for the foreseeable future.

Gee... she sure was kidding

At those prices, a dog might be cheaper

No name yet. Esther maybe. We named Yentl's brother Tevya, because he looks like he's got a yarmulke and locks. So some sort of classical Hebrew name seems appropriate. I kind of like Panstarrs given the timing of the birth, but I don't think my wife will go for that.

Our barn cameras are at:

The two cameras inside the goat barn are pan/tilt, but only from here, so they might not always be pointed at goats. The outside cameras are wider angle and fixed.

And were is the lucky dad? You havent eaten him did you? Or did he run away

He's owned by somebody else, selected for his lineage.

Hey Chris, where to go to set up a password to be able to connect to the cameras??

That little goatling sure is adorable! I like Esther.

I, too, am password-less.

Oh, Chris - that is a lovely photo.
How many hours old was the kid when the photo was taken? Have you given her a name yet?

I've never milked a goat but Paul used to help a friend who lives up on mount Teide to milk her goats and enjoyed revisiting his farming (pre-med-sci research career) childhood. How marvellous that you are able to combine your scientific career with a life that has goats and other animals in it.

Oops, sorry. It autofills on my browser. Connect using 'galgoats' for the user and 'guest' for the password.

If you have a problem with the video, there's a still feed for each of the cameras that updates every two minutes at http://gallopinggoatranch.com/sample-page/my-goatcams/

She was about a half hour old there. Still working on the name.

Indeed, I can't complain.

Ooh, I have gone all gooey. I've downloaded the photo for my desktop - I hope that is okay, Chris?! - and I can see how very young she is in the enlarged picture.

Thank you for the live cams Chris!!!

Maybe you can give the baby goat two names? One you and one your wife

Chris, I love ♥♥♥ the black and white goat a lot! What is it's name? And the pretty lady must be your wife, say hi from me

That would be Hershey (the black and white goat, not my wife).

Hi Chris,
I managed to get to see the head of a goat with the first link, but that's about it. All the rest of the links keep giving me the runaround, in one way or another, whether it's not accepting the password, or keeps wanting me to download the IE kernel. Very frustrating! I'll try the first link again later to see if the goats moved into view better.

Yes, IE tends to be problematic. A more standards compliant browser like Firefox or Chrome will allow the video to be viewed directly, without the need to download an addon.

I just used the first link to view your goat. I got to see just a bit more of it.(your shodows are getting long) But the picture shortly disappeared and the number 1 on the bottom had a yellow spot in it. Maybe i can catch your whole goat tomorrow. Guess I'm just not good at getting people's goats.

Might be my Internet access, as well. Here in the boondocks, what passes for "broadband" would be considered a joke to most people. I guess it only takes two or three people trying to look at a camera at the same time to throw a wrench in things. From here, we watch on the local network, which is much faster.

Aw! How long before the little kid begins to bounce all over the place uncontrollably?

Already happening. She got onto the roof of the goat shed this afternoon.

BTW, we settled on Esther.

When I was a boy; we had a pair of goats! I remember we used to milk the nanny. I was quite young; and I don't remember what happened to them! I do remember my Dad saying that the nanny got love sick after the billy died!

About 5 minutes of Humming bird video, including eating out of hands, in Alaska.

This song is played in my local radio station, an anthem about pets.

Beginns with same sentence each round which means "In the radio is a ....)

In the cat part, it sounded like english (the cats meow). I was also very happy about what the tractor did

Bears babies ♥

I have no clue why they were in there in the first place, but they seemed glad afterward.
