All those trees down are still from that storm we had in July. We already spent 3 weekends working on major fence repairs and picking up from that storm.Still have several trees to pick up/cut up.

Those are all great pictures. You have a ton of really pretty does.

That's interesting, the does with the black heads. I've seen that before but I don't see it alot. Are they crossed with something?

Star and Nova are from the same doe, they are from Pippi. She was 50% boer/50% nubian, Both does are from full blood Boer bucks that were traditional in color and pippi had a golden tan head and speckled golden tan body. We have had a couple other black heads, Not from Pippi, all born on the farm, but those we have sold. I have never gotten a black headed kid out of one of those black headed does. Of course they have been all bred to traditional full Blood Boers.

All our goats are either full blood Boer or Boer Nubian crosses. Tori is 50% Boer Nubian, Star and Nova the black headed does are 75% Boer/ 25% Nubian.

Thank you. We gave a photo lesson to a very lovely couple this summer. Always enjoy talking goats with new and old friends.

Aunt B is sooo tricky. I still am not 100% sure what is going on with her, but I am leaning towards Goldman breding her through the fence and she is around 10 weeks bred right now.

Cool. That's funny you have never had a black-headed goat from them.

Well, come and visit. But I always warn people they probably will be disappointed to see everything(our farm) in person. I always feel pictures do it justice.
But sight seeing in VA would be a nice vacation. I love the fact that we are close to the mountains, and the beach and Washington DC. ONe of my favorite vacations so far was staying in WESt Virginia. Riding the train and staying in a cabin. I get sooo car sick in the mountains, but the vacation was still a lot of fun.
