Second pic, I picture lambie singing: The hills are ali-i-i-i-ve with the sound of
mu-u-usic. Love the vid with mom and babeh eh-eh-eh duet, mom in a lower register. Sweet curly bebeh.

2 Heather 04.17.09 at 6:16 pm

That’s not a lamb! It’s a kid.

3 Flavia A. 04.17.09 at 6:18 pm

Aww… that’s too cute :)

4 kibblenibble 04.17.09 at 6:23 pm

Think you’re right Heather…the horns…

5 Megan 04.17.09 at 6:40 pm

Oh, I just love these little goats!! Lambcam is so addictive.

6 superboymom 04.17.09 at 6:45 pm

Picture #2 – pure joy!

7 chanpon 04.17.09 at 6:48 pm

I shall leek you….and leek you…..and leek you again.

Monkeys On the Lam!!!

9 Theresa 04.17.09 at 7:01 pm

PS in pic 2, would you say that is a caper, a gambol, or a frolic?

10 the bug man 04.17.09 at 7:06 pm

On etymological grounds, I *insist* that it is a caper.

11 balamuthia 04.17.09 at 7:24 pm

Yeah, they call baby Arno a “kid” in the video.

And I just have to say, that bit of placenta drooling from mom in the beginning really killed the awwwwww factor for me.

12 Illise 04.17.09 at 7:26 pm

the second pic is so cuteeeeeeeeee
love them, lambs are so pretty

13 debg 04.17.09 at 7:38 pm

It’s not just a kid, it’s an angora kid, from an angora goat, who will produce lovely mohair for spinning into mohair yarn. Yep, got your yarn geek right here.

14 Maggie 04.17.09 at 7:47 pm

The babies! Susan’s goats! On CO! Awesome!

Yep, like Deb says, they’re goats. Susan has a good-sized herd of Angora goats and a couple breeds of sheep (mostly Cormo) who are all in the Hudson Valley right now, with some going back to Martha’s Vineyard in a bit. There were 9 kids born today alone, bringing the count to about 20, including several sets of twins!

15 Lauria 04.17.09 at 7:54 pm

YAY! Goats! Baby goats! And before you know it, there’ll be LAMBS, too!!

16 Katey 04.17.09 at 8:01 pm

Oh! I love Momma’s sweatshirt in the last one. So retro 80s!

17 kzgz 04.17.09 at 8:12 pm

yep, baby goatsies! you can tell by looking at their eyes – their pupils go sort of sidewise. which i guess is why they used to freak people out.

18 ffleur 04.17.09 at 8:36 pm

why is baby goatsie wearing a down jacket in the 2nd picture? Shouldn’t it be an angora sweater? Suspicious interspecies clothing choices here.

19 cat 04.17.09 at 9:08 pm

Eeeeeeee! Angora Goats!!!!! So cute!!!!!!!!

20 Designing Writer 04.17.09 at 9:39 pm

Makes me really happy I’m a vegetarian . . .

21 Nikki 04.17.09 at 9:42 pm

Meg, I can definitely say “Lamb Cam” 5 times fast, but I double-dog dare you to try to say “You know New York” 5 times fast…
:)

22 Argyle Donkeypants 04.17.09 at 9:49 pm

I dunno, pic #2 has some definite gallumph-like qualities to it.

23 claudemarie 04.17.09 at 10:29 pm

what a happy looking face LOL, whatta cute little kid smile (if they smile)

24 Emma 04.17.09 at 11:21 pm

Goaties =/= sheepies!
Regardless, too cute. The cute…it hurts….

25 Subhangi 04.17.09 at 11:26 pm

That’s the first time I’ve seen a lambette with ringlets!

26 Michael Claymore 04.18.09 at 12:02 am

Very cute, but i think these are baby goats not baby sheep.

27 Poohbear 04.18.09 at 1:23 am

Ehn-ehn-ehn
*low-pitched and high-pitched slurping sounds*
first meal, tooooo cute !
If there’s anything even cuter than a lammie, it’s a kiddie !
My dream life, raising goats *sigh*

I concur with you etymologists out there, 2nd pic, def. a caper ! :-)

28 Poohbear 04.18.09 at 1:30 am

THIS picture of Arno is too moishe :

http://www.fiberfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dsc_00801.jpg

Look at hees expreshonnn !!!

And he seems to have golden hooves ! Amazingk !!! (besides knitting them sweaters, do the ladies do pedis on them too ?)

29 snorglepup 04.18.09 at 4:32 am

Lam-cam, lam-cam, fiber-farm,fiber-farm, Baaaaa!!
Oh, sorry.
Frolic, I say! Little kid is frolicking in the hay.

30 Katrina 04.18.09 at 4:52 am

Kid Kam, Kid Cam, Kid Cam, Kid Cam, Kid Cam. Silly people. Honestly! Angora GOOOOOAAAAAATTS. But oh, so sweet and snuggleable. Once he dries off.

31 duck au vin 04.18.09 at 4:58 am

Little kid is soooo precious! I vote for gambol.
>0O*

32 lucy's mommeh 04.18.09 at 5:01 am

LOVE how mom & baby are “chatting” with each other quietly…:)

33 carole 04.18.09 at 5:31 am

No self respecting lamb would wear wool, just like no goose would wear the mini puffer jacket in pic 2. He’s all like “let’s hit the summit beyotches!”

34 Amy 04.18.09 at 6:18 am

I especially love the 2nd picture…sproing, sproing!

35 Von Zeppelin 04.18.09 at 6:27 am

Looks like mom may have been sheared recently, hence the red sweatshirt. Would an angora goat insist on natural fibers only?

36 els 04.18.09 at 7:02 am

So cutie cute, but in the video all I could pay attention to was the gross umbilical cord hanging out back there. I totally missed the adorable attempts at nursing. :-( But, the pics make me want to reach in and scruffle the little ringlets I am sure are unbelieveably soft!!!

37 dylanimore 04.18.09 at 7:26 am

Isn’t it a ram and a lamb cam? Or maybe I just don’t know my animals.

38 dylanimore 04.18.09 at 7:28 am

@els Yucc. I just saw that. :(

39 MadameX 04.18.09 at 7:35 am

Not gross. Natural. Anerable baby goatseys and lambies and puppehs and kittehs need feedingks in their mummehs belly to grow.

Angora ringlets, 80′s sweaters and down vests put these over the top!!!!

40 cheshirekittehkat 04.18.09 at 7:43 am

Just born bebbeh goatsie=CO fixation, leading to addiction:
Caper, caper, prance, prance, prance;
Gambol, gambol, gambol, dans, dans, dans:
Arno is doing it right, captivating us as well, during his happy new-born antics;
Add the teeney little bleatsies: O Noes!! Blarghhh! I ar ded from the kyuoote!!

41 Scientific Chick 04.18.09 at 8:21 am

Arno just made my day. Pics like these make me want to become vegetarian!

42 chackler 04.18.09 at 8:54 am

Finally – lambcam gets it’s due! It’s very addicting and they take such good care of their little lambies and kids, you can tell that all the animals are loved very much.

43 eikoleigh 04.18.09 at 9:04 am

They’re so cute!!

44 Beth (in NC) 04.18.09 at 9:19 am

Lamb cam does sound a little better than Kid Cam…. but whatevskis. I like goats even a little better than sheep (shhhhh don’t tell them!!!?!?!?!?!)

45 littlegreycatdesigns 04.18.09 at 9:27 am

@Designing Writer–don’t worry, these goaties are NEVER eaten! I discussed that with Susan personally before buying shares in her fiber CSA. I’m a veg too, and it was an important bit of info for me

@Poohbear–Arno’s hooves aren’t painted, just a tweak of the sunlight. But I agree, I don’t know how that one didn’t make it on the CO front page!

46 pookie 04.18.09 at 9:48 am

Ah, yes, that pesky umbilicus. The sight of one nearly caused hubby to pass out in the Miracle of Birth Barn at the State Fair. Apparently, the Miracle of Birth is not for the faint of heart.

And that is a gambol if I’ve ever seen one.

47 Jae 04.18.09 at 9:51 am

@dylan: It’s definitely not a ram-cam. Rams lack that whole giving birth thing! :) More like a nanny-n-kid cam. But I think we’re all missing the point that the Lamb-cam is for lambs as well as the goats we’re seeing here.

My vote for the second picture is gambol!

48 Katiedid 04.18.09 at 9:56 am

i’ve never seen a lamb so happy lol.. it looks like he’s smiling in the second pic :-D

49 Deckard Canine 04.18.09 at 10:04 am

I’m with Els: put it under “Gee-ross!” as a warning.

50 anner 04.18.09 at 10:28 am

new category: kids ‘n’ racks!

that…came out…wrong…

51 Paunchie 04.18.09 at 10:33 am

Um, ew?

52 dub1 04.18.09 at 10:42 am

Thanks for the brainworm lyric, Meg: and it’s doing a Bat-usi
Biff! Baf! Pow!

NanCam!

53 ffleur 04.18.09 at 11:26 am

These goats can do so much more alive than as meat. And I know they are not being eaten, I’m just adding to that thought:

provide wool to warm our bodies
milk and cheese to nurture out bodies
and smiles and gambols to sooth our souls

The umbilicus is not that bad. Human births are just as messy.

54 Hon Glad 04.18.09 at 12:00 pm

Baby Goat should vote for CO in the Webbys, like er, a baby Goat.

55 Niffer 04.18.09 at 12:08 pm

I’m a Niffer, not a nuffer, and I’m absolutely all about the many cute aspects of the curly kid, but between the umbilical cord and the comments referring to this little one as a “Goatsie”, I’ve got a twinge of the eeew (not ewe), too.

56 Rags 04.18.09 at 12:19 pm

Another thing LIVE goats can do is provide excellent and environmentally awesome lawn mowing services…

59 Starling 04.18.09 at 2:03 pm

Sheeps have funny eyes like that too, kzgz, I know, cos I li-i-i-ived on a she-ee-eep fa-ar-ar-arm for ye-e-ars.

Which hasn’t affected me at a-a-al.

Our local teaching farm has a lambing weekend each year, you can come and see the lambs being born. Fascinating but squicky!

Me-eh-eh.

60 Starling 04.18.09 at 2:04 pm

One of our lambs gave birth to triplets in the yard. No kiddinks.

61 eternalcanadian 04.18.09 at 3:42 pm

eh? since when did sheep have horns (i know the male bighorn sheep have horns, but female sheep???). looks an awful lot like a goat to me so that would be a goat cam, not a lamb cam, yeah?

62 iwill 04.18.09 at 3:52 pm

I know it’s supposed to be yay nature, miracle of birth, kumbaya, etc.

But srsly they couldn’t have avoided filming the umbilical cord? Or removed it somehow? It is natural, however at that point, it’s no longer sustaining life and it just dying tissue. I don’t like seeing my own dead skin cells. Ick.

63 mervtheflamingo 04.18.09 at 4:11 pm

Gotta agree with several others on the viewing of the umbilical cord. I know its natural. Just not for the faint of heart. and usage of terms like “goatsie” etc, but that is more excusable because I think some may not know what makes that gross when spelled slightly differently.

But super cute otherwise!!! :)

64 ellie007 04.18.09 at 4:13 pm

but in the video all I could pay attention to was the gross umbilical cord hanging out back there.

DITTO! Stringy ewwwy nature goodness is many wonderful things – but not cute!

That said the Kiddy is so adorable, I’ll just stick to the pics kthx!

65 Serena 04.18.09 at 4:41 pm

Yeah, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was majorly grossed out by the birthing material hanging out back there on the Momma. Otherwise, the sounds they were making were sweet!

66 Anna 04.18.09 at 4:45 pm

mom has the right idea, munching on that behbeh tail! That’s what I would do!

67 Jen 04.18.09 at 5:27 pm

I love how goats look perpetually bemused. Too funny.

68 Nancy 04.18.09 at 6:15 pm

Yers, those are kids, kids. Where do you think mohair comes from? the 3 stooges?

69 auntyb 04.18.09 at 7:10 pm

like a record baby round round round round….

70 elizabeth 04.19.09 at 5:22 am

looking at these pictures, all i can think of is this really creepy anime called “ringing bell.” and it makes me sad!

71 Erin 04.19.09 at 2:29 pm

It really is too bad that all totally adorable teeny weeny baby animals have to come out of some other animal’s utterly disgusting interior. The stuff hanging out of the mama is placenta/afterbirth, and it’s not safe to “remove” it – it should be passed naturally. This video was shot within minutes of the baby’s birth.

72 Katrina 04.19.09 at 4:16 pm

Staa—aaaa—rling-just daa–aa—aaa-rling!

73 ariesgirl 04.20.09 at 2:23 pm

2nd picture:
Romp romp romp.
*Twitch ears*
Frolic frolic frolic.
*Baaaaaah*
Gambol gambol gambol.
(Repeat.)
