Wow! Arent you lucky! You got the exact opposite of what you've been getting...mainly singles and boys, but you got triplet girls!! How exciting, they are very cute
thank you, I have one doe left to kid, I think she is due April 20th. Well, she can't be due much later than that we took the bucks out right around that time. Since she is fullblood a buck or two wont be that big of a deal and I actually have a couple people asking about fullblood bucks.
the new doelings are doing well, I kept the one with the patch on her right eye, pictured on the left of the last photos, and Neener took home the little girl on the right, and The little girl in the middle also went to her new home. I am sure they are being well cared for.
Raquel is due May 1st.
Several of the 4H animals went home last weekend and are going home this weekend. Several of our kids are actually growing too fast, We believe it is ia combination of improved genetics and our new feed. Not the worst problem to have, but no one wants an over weight goat for their fair and have to spend an hour a day trying to exercise off the weight. So we are sending them home on diets. They really aren't over weight, like we think of over weight, just growing to darn fast at with several at .6 to .65 lbs per day gain. We are trying to cut back and slow some of them down to .35 lbs per day.
We will be breeding a little later next year. but I really liked having Some January doelings to keep, they will be a month older to breed next spring. Although the does I kept last year from february kiddings, and then bred to kid end of March the next spring, seem to be doing well.
