I hope OFA Lord Drinian does well for you
Refresh my memory because it's not so good
He is out of Taffy and Big Brown?

Yes, he is. I'm excited to see his first daughter's udder this year as she's already an improvement over her Dam (who I sold as a home milker after she had quads in March). If Orchid has any doelings 1-2 will be keepers.

I don't know if you have followed but Taffy is our top milker
She already has her AR and *M om fat
She only needs 70 more lbs to make it on volume with 3 more tests. She milked 3.2 lbs on last test so she should make volume on test next week
If she does Drinian will get his *B
Big Browns dam Rosemary has already made her star for fat and has a good shot on volume too
I'll let you know

@Baymule You can have both like me!

I have seriously considered it, but I need to finish fencing and build a better shelter for the sheep/goats.

I knew most of that. He just looks so nice and mature this year, and I love his personality.
I really want to get on milk test this year. Sigh. Because I need something else to do. I'm going to try to get stuff set up to start in January.

I know several of our Lamanchas and Nigerians would get stars.

And as icing on the cake we just got a while long list of Neg CAE tests! Yay! We tested everyone who wasn't tested in the fall (We tested the young stock that hadn't been tested before and bucks then.) And more pictures.
Spice and her belly
Gwen (Aravis's daughter, 10 mo)
Morning Glory (Drinian's daughter who likes to cuddle so this is about a good as a picture of her gets if I'm alone)
Aravis's belly
Queen's belly- she hates the camera!
Orchid (wide load award at the moment)

Breeding is a wrap here! Periwinkle (unregistered Nigerian) came back in a week after being bred so she went back in with the buck, and Magn, the only Lamancha who's test came back open was in heat yesterday/today so her and the buck got some honeymoon time and I just let him spend the night with all the other pregnant Lamancha girls since he loves them so much.

So, that means as long as these take we are done breeding with our last does kidding in March. Almost too good to be true. LOL.

First babies surprised us on Wednesday night. Got home at 4pm to two very fresh bucklings.

I was not expecting babies yet!

But, it's fair game now as Orchid and Aravis are on day 143 and Orchid just looks huge. 142 for Spice is Sunday. She actually looks the most uncomfortable. Queen or isn't due until later in December.
