I will work on some photos when I go back out to do my 2nd round of morning chores. They look more nubian than Boer in color, but I have a feeling these are going to be some stout girls. I am in debate if I should keep one and sell Tori Ann. Not sure how many more chances, if any I will get to keep another girl from Tori. We aren't positive we are gong to breed her or retire her. I am considering breedering her knowing she has lots of milk. I already got 16 ounces of colostrum from her, plus she is nursing two big kids.

The one especially has kind of neat coloring on her head.

Of course STar goes way up into the field. Only 6 acres, but it is a healthy haul back to the barn. Come on doelings.

Maybe the exercise will bring her into labor, like they do human women. LOL Hey, its worth the try.

Pretty long ways to bring her down to the barn for one buckling. Yup she had a single buckling. Go back and look at Star's photos, who would have guessed she was carrying a single.

You must be feeding them too well

Unfortunately for STar this will be her last year on our farm. One reason she is in such good shape is she isn't hardly produced any kids. Last year she had a single buckling that died when she was kidding. This buckling I had to pull, he was breech. The year before she did have a nice set of twins. She is down right crazy and not friendly at all, mean as snot to the lower goats on the totem pole, she will go across the barn to knock someone down. Well, she is up for sale, in case anyone is interested.

Sorry about her having to go but I completely agree with it. Good job for culling.

Haley's doeling is so cute, I let out Haley and Pepper and their kids today. They loved being outside and running around.

Haley nursing her twins. Haley needs some serious weight put on. Will need to work on that. One thing I have noticed when kidding the does out at 14 to 15 months and then again at 2 years of age is they really don't catch up on their weight until that 2nd summer or between their 2nd and 3rd year. Then they seem to keep condition on better.

And for Jodief100: Tori's girls. And heck yes they are cute.
