I got myself a new little buck to breed to my younger does this fall, since my senior bucks are going to be really big.

check him out. He is 11 weeks old and 60lbs, he is a twin and has a .60 daily gain.

I know very little about meat goats, but he sure is cute! And BIG (especially compared to my little NDs )!

He's a great looking young man! Congrats! Should be interesting to see what his kids look like when they hit the ground down the road.

Thank you, He is doing really well.
Everyone is doing well, expect we are having some problem's with Dancer and her triplets. At 3 weeks old and after trying sense they were born, I finally have two of them taking a small bottle 4 times a day. That is a long frustrating story that I will spare you all.

Otherwise all is going well over here. We sold out of our January kids and are just waiting for them to be big enough to go to their new homes.

We are waiting and watching our does grow that are due in end of March. Should be 5 does and then one is due end of April. A couple of htem aren't looking very big. I suspect singles. Great, more singles this year. I have talked to several farms in the area and many are having tons of boys and lower numbers. I suspect the intense heat from trying to breed in July for January kids. Our pastures were also nothing fantastic and we were feeding some hay at the time. But we did flush our does before breeding. I do remember it was hot enough that my bucks did a lot of breeding a night and in the early morning.
I would think these later does wouldn't be as affected. But two of them that look to be carrying singles are first fresheners.

I really need to work on some photos this week.

Have a great day.

Well, my first doe of March is due and of course she waitd until 11 pm to go into early lobor. At least I am 95 % sure she is in early labor. She is on day 152. Her udder is boom and juicy would discribe certain parts. And I am tired and woudl love to go to bed. Husband and I are takign turns and he is sleeping the first 3 hours. So while I wait I am reading everyones posts, since I have been busy and I am behind on looking at all your pictures and questions and discussions.

So Just Wow is 14 months old and a first freshener, She is 100% Boer and is bred to a fullblood buck. We have been very excited to see these kids. I hope my boy streak ends and I get girls. Yup, I said it. More than one.

I was going to get some before pictures of her and never did it today. Wish I had done that. I could work on them right now. Oh, I do have lots of snow pics. I should work on those. Yawn.

will try to get some pics of the delivery.
