Yeah I will. How soon before kidding does one usually start a kidding thread? I don't know when she is due exactly, if she bred when I first got the buck she would be due Jan 14th last possible date would be March 13th (give or take) I did notice today her udder is slightly larger than normal...

My sweet moonpie :) she is getting big

I bring Lillie and opera home Dec 9th. My other does walk pretty decently (not like show goats but decent) haven't had a chance to go out and train them better lately. I don't get home from work until after 6 and it gets dark here 5:30-5:45ish. I will be trying for Wednesday (I'm off from work)...

Oh I asked why the breeder choose Shogun for opera and this Is what she said "I picked Shogun because he has a high ratio of does and I like his daughters. They're well put together and freshen very nicely. He's also very wide which translates well to kidding."

I have a total of 4 adult does and one doeling. My one doe was confirmed bred by a vet, 2 of them were sent to the farm where I am purchasing Lillie and opera for breeding and opera is being put with gypsy moon Shogun shortly. But yes I told myself no more goats (at least buying goats) Thank you...

New pics of opera, they were taken and sent to me today. In the both photos Lillie is standing behind her making opera look like she has a big 'ol tan bump lol

Thank you :) I am trying to start with good quality to keep good quality and hopefully breed up.

I'm not sure, I know on her website she had la scores for some of her goats which is where I got what I put in the original post about her. I attached it

@Southern by choice thank you :)

@OneFineAcre I am not working with gypsy moon, I am working with a good friend of hers. I am working with mh5t farms @Southern by choice thank you, I had already asked if she would do that for my does. I will ask her why she suggested Shogun for opera (new doe) to be bred to. She really...

I just got photos from the appraisal this year that was 7 days after kidding. Will be getting new photos hopefully tomorrow. She is staying at the farm to be bred, will be bringing home in December. Attached are photos from the appraisal. I like her personality. Unfortunately I am not truly...

My newest doe (not my gold and white doeling Lillie another new one ) She was a yearling in this photo opinions on her? 2017 la scores E++EVV+VV+V+ 83 as a 2 year old :)

Does anyone know if 4h in Anderson or surrounding counties have shows for Nigerian dwarf goats? I have nephews that may want to end up showing and I was thinking we may be able to use some of my herd for them to show, also thinking that I may be able to lease to some 4h kids to show (ones that...

Well she did not kid but has since been vet confirmed bred to the buck I recently sold :) should have kids jan-feb from her

Thank you, I explained in the other post but I'll put it here too :) the breeder likes for the doeling to nurse until the are 16weeks old, I could take her and bottle feed but I don't have the time with my work schedule to do so unfortunately. I'm not sure why she likes for them to nurse until...

Thank you, I have to speak with the breeder to see about the DNA test. The breeder likes for the doeling to be weaned at 4 months (I could take her and bottle feed but I don't have the time to do so right now with my work schedule) I'm not sure if she (the breeder) is waiting until doeling is...

Yes they can breed before kid(s) are weaned. Some does come in season 1-3 weeks after kidding

My newest doeling coming in February :) any thoughts on her bloodline?

Wondering if I could get opinions on creep feeding kids. I currently have one confirmed bred doe due in jan-feb and I have 2 does at a farm to be bred to kid in march-april(all does have been pasture bred so don't have an exact date for kidding) and I know there are a lot of opposing views on...
