Well, you need new genetics and that would be bringing in some good ones.

I thought he might, his nose was runny too. What is the vet having you use?

@Hens and Roos

In some way/shape//form or fashion OFA is most likely going to be at the Natiomal Show so you should keep an eye on our page
I'm pretty confident that a buckling could make the trip

What a cutie!

Would be fun as a spectator at Nationals. Considering we have only shown 1x at State Fair I don't think showing at Nationals is anywhere in our near future.
Would be fun to meet up with others from different places!
@OneFineAcre if you go I just know that @Hens and Roos would love one of your bucklings!

You showed at the NC State Fair
Probably the most competitive show in the country besides the national show
And I seem to recall you did pretty well

My DD is all excited and would really like to go and show-its about a 30 minute drive for us- same place that the county fair is held at!

You should absolutely positively show at Nationals

Why wouldn't you ?

Long way to go before that happens!
I am like you- I have to stay behind to take care of animals.

Maybe GW can hitch a ride with someone who needs help showing or prepping. She'd love to go!

There is a better then average chance that a couple of our goats will be there for the show- not sure which ones yet :idunno

Finally got the DHIR nightmare complete.

I won't be testing until April, and June will just be doing tests until then. To much going on in our personal lives between now and then.

I know how much she's giving me, but it would be nice to have an actual NUMBER. I'm setting her up for a one day milk test though,nap June won't be forgotten.

We spent NYE with the new neighbors. It was entertaining, lots of comedy there.

On to other goat news, Brownie is officially back outside. The sniffles are gone, no more running nostrils or fever, and the cough is almost gone. A few of ourdoes have started a chesty cough, and I'll be bringing on of them in next week so the vet can listen and send me home with antibiotics for everyone. We've had terrible weather and it's really been hard on the herd. Low 80's swinging into the 20's, next day 40's and down into the teens. All over the place.

Look at this clean face and hefty appetite:
