In July I got 4 polled alpine bucklings. They were all born in May. They all have the same father. Two, Blackie and Charlie, are twins. The other two, are named Benson and George.

Then in September I got a ¾ Nubian, ¼ Alpine cross wether from a local 4-H kid. He’s named Kahlua. He was born in July. He’s the youngest, and noticeably smaller than the others.
Spots, Bryce, Patches and Kahlua
The first of November, I got 3 alpine (mostly, one is 1/8th Ober) wethers from Zoe Barr. They were all born in February. Bryce is the 1/8th Ober. The two black and white ones are siblings: Spots and Patches.

They are all nice friendly kids.
Today I took them all for walks around the yard, two at a time, off lead. I used treats trying to encourage them to each come to their own name…making some progress.
