Argenta had kids yesterday. Another self-black SCI goat (male) and a cutie patootie female with frosted ears and nose. These are both higher Tepper Line San Clemente Island goats.

Marvel is having one of those very goat-ish faces. I suspect she is pretty far along in her pregnancy and I notice she is spacing out more often.

Pregnancy puddle! Argenta is due to kid in a few weeks.

Every single cream and black San Clemente Island goat left in the US has Maximus as its ancestor. All other SCI goats displaying this rare color have been lost to us. Though this color is exhibited in Canadian herds.

Eisa is a beautiful San Clemente Island goat doe, and is due to kid in about a month. Eisa also came from a hoard situation, to my place, to a zoo, and back here to live out her life. She is also part of the Tepper Line Preservation Project. #sanclementeislandgoats #smallfarmlife #goatsky #scigoats
The timeline of being tackled by Kasimer and Garland. Both uncommon color variants of the SCI goat breed. Both intent on equally getting attention and nibbling at vulnerable body parts. Kasimer came out the winner for exclusive chin scratches. #sanclementeislandgoats #scigoats

This is how we do things in the country.
Letting a small group of the San Clemente Island goats roam free at the Farmstead.
There isn't much to get into, and they're having a blast exploring.

Sound on. The lovely sound of goats munching on hay.

All the sizes. San Clemente Island goats don't have a breed standard, rather a description. This can help encourage the diversity found in this critically endangered breed. Ranging from 40#-150#.
The boys pictured are Alphonse the smallest, next Zucherro, then Woodland Star last Uff-Da.

We had an intense cold snap at the EB Ranch Farmstead. -19 this morning. And it was 40+ degrees a few days ago. The San Clemente Island goat herd is fine. Kasimer and his little group snuggled hard. The other goat groups did the same.

Hygge loves baby goats. These San Clemente Island goat kids ended up being bottle babies. Huginn and Muninn are just over a week old today.
