FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

JP is a right fine buck. He's going to be for sale after this season, as we'll probably keep a good handful of his daughters and have kept a son from this year.

I'm glad Zinnia is feeling better! She makes nice daughters, we have a couple here.

You'll have to come see me in January! Love making deals for my friends.

@TAH Really can't give an honest answer here. I have just now seen her back in peak and prime. She's giving me 2 quarts on an 8 hour fill, and 2.5 quarts on a 10. Damsel gets locked up around 7 when my husband leaves and returned after we milk in the evenings when we get home. She was giving (Forgive me if I'm wrong ) over a gallon last year? Not sure, but I'm happy with results. Her milk is still soap only, as it's not been 90 days since she came off antibiotics. She's still jumpy and tense at times. Big clumsy thing can't even get on the stand without help and she's my tallest goat! She needs a step stool, and she's a giant. She can get her front feet up there then looks at us begging for "help" or stumbles over trying to climb it. She's a character.

I'll be seeing you tomorrow, I'm supposed to be picking up a doe on behalf of a mutual friend of ours. Wasabi I think?

 

[Epona142]

Yup thought so. I keep better track of goats than I do people.

 

[Ferguson K]

I think we all do.

Even worse, I will remember the name of the animal (& sometimes their animal kids) that you own, your face and not your name.

"Oh, Hi --- you are "Pebbles" mom, right?" How frustrating for me!

 

[Epona142]

Oh yes, that's me. I'm visually impaired so I don't always recognize faces, but if you tell me you're the one who bought that tiny doeling of Nori's three years ago.... got it!

 

[Ferguson K]

My customers at the store are just blursunless they have a pet or are in there daily. "OH! How's Sadie?" "Fine."

Otherwise? Yeah. Sorry. I've already forgotten.

Oh! You bought Lilly's buck? How is he?

Or: Didn't you buy quail from us?

Yeah.

 

[Mini Horses]

I feel SOOOOOO much better now!!

Gorgeous goats, girl. You have some awesome stock to start your goat herd.
