Time is coming up quickly for our next girls. I need to get pictures, they're huge.
Pearl, Morgan, and Zinnia are all due in April.
Briar and Lyra are going to be bred this month to Hollar. I was going to breed them for summer kids anyways, it'll just be two months earlier than originally planned.
I took these last week. They're growing big bellies . I think Morgan has twins... which I don't like for a FF but I'll take healthy anything. Zinnia likely has twins, it's what she usually has, as does Pearl. Time will tell!

I DO like twins for a FF. They're smaller babies and I've never had a (healthy) doe who couldn't feed twins. Good luck with the upcoming births. We don't start for another month or so...

I like them in essence of size to doe. I don't like them because I'm tempted to keep them all as it is.

Maybe the manager at TSC will let you put up signs "Goats for sale to good homes"

The girls are looking good, it's always exciting to pair up breedings and see if the kids turn out as expected.
I like twins for FF's. Easier on the doe and better udders… but it is hard to make the cut on who stays and who goes. I know a breeder that breeds all their lamanchas and alpines to a boer buck for their first kidding. That way they won't be tempted to keep any and they sell the kids for meat or to commercial meat goat breeders.
