Nova had a huge gigantic ...........................................doeling. yay for pink. Wont complain about it being one. She also has tons of ................................milk. So I am taking advantage of that for Hot mamma's twins. Nova is one of those does that is impossible to graph kids on, she is very sneaky. She waits until you are gone to kid and she is very good at counting. But I did put one of Hot mamma's kids on her to nurse and fill his belly then but him back with his mom.

I am so sorry. It has been busy for you, babies, milk issues and now loosign one. This is the part I hate about farming. The goo dthing is there are always more to come and fill up the empty place inside.

I am taking an emotional break from the goats right now, when I feel up to it I will post some pictures. Fuzzball kidded a big buckling. We new she was only carrying a single and being as how small she is that is okay. She did a great job, but is worn out.

next does are due end of January,
Daisy
Dancer
P79 and Snowball.

I will get some kid pictures when I am not feeling so annoyed with goat farming.

I am sorry you are not feeling very good about goat farming right now but I wish you some good luck soon.

I haven't burned the place down, yet. Actually, things are going better. But I am crazy busy and just haven't had time to post or get new pictues. It is cloudy and 70% chance of rain Today and Tomorrow.

Thankyou RPC and everyone. We have 20 bouncy kids, 3 on a bottle. I have had an incredable amount of people contacting me wanting to look at goats. I guess the warmer weather has everyone feelining in a the spring mood. I will clearly run out of kids.

We have been accepted as a member of a boer goat club/association and have been invited to consign at a breeders sale. That should be interesting. Problem is, we have had very few does and most of our bucks need to go to children on our waiting list for fair projects. I am going to try to consign a buck out of Daisy and Goldman that was born in June, and 2 does and 2 wethers to the sale. There will be a whether sale following the fullblood and percentage sale.
I am reallhy excited about the chance to put Daisy's buck in the sale. His brother sold right away, since I had someone on a waiting list for one buck, leaving me with onemore We decided to hold the price on the other one and even raise it, to see what he looked like as he got a little older, then we found out we may have a chance to be invited to this breeders sale so we have been feeding him all winter.
Each animal has to be individulally choosen by the committee and permitted to sell. There are limited slots and limited slots with in categories. We figure it will cost an extra $60.00 per goat to sell them at the sale, so we have to get that much more than our asking price to just break even. I have never even gone and watched a sale like this before. My dh commented that we need to have the animals able to lead and set up for the sale. Gosh, that hadn't entered my mind either. This should be intereting. And so far I don't have the kid crop I had last year. But I do have some choices.

here he is last week at 6 months old

He is really feeling his oats and running around like crazy.
