Kid Guess Contest 2014!

 It's Kidding season again at our farm.  I absolutely love this time of year when the baby goats are born!

  Have you ever enjoyed a baby goat? If not, you don’t know how cute they are!  Only three weeks away now, Ellie will have her kid(s). It is so much fun anticipating the birth of the kids and watching for all the different little signs that help me to know when they will be born. I enjoy watching her and wondering how many kids she will have and if they are bucks or does?  Though I have witnessed many goat deliveries, the whole miracle of birth never ceases to amaze me! The display of God’s incredible creation is truly shown forth at every birth! 
   
  Even if you're not a farmer and don't have goats, you can still participate in this exciting time of year! Would you like to join in on the fun of the spring kidding season--and have the opportunity to win a FREE bar of goat milk soap? Why not?  Here's how:

  Garland Goat Soap KID GUESS CONTEST
  "Ellie" is our goat that is due to kid this year.  (For those of you who are unfamiliar with goats, it is quite common for them to have a single kid, twins, or triplets.  Sometimes they even have quadruplets!)

 We want you to take a guess:

1.)  How many kid(s) will Ellie have?
 2.)  How many buck(s) (male goat) and/or doe(s) will Ellie have?

So put on your thinking cap, join the fun, and let us know what your guess is by:

1.) leaving a comment here on the blog (please include your email address), or
2.) email it to  garlandgoatsoap@gmail.com  with "Kid Guess" in the subject line.



If you guess correctly or come the closest, you will win one free bar of our goat milk soap! If we have more than one correct guess we will send out more than one free bar.
This year I thought I would make it a little more exciting by using a new design exclusively for the kid guess.
 


When Ellie kids (has her babies), we will let you know the winner(s) of our Kid Guess Contest.  Who knows, maybe you will be the one to enjoy a free bar of our goat milk soap! I will also add a picture of the soap that we are giving away!

I will also be posting pictures of the kid(s) sometime after they are born.
