Goat Whisperer's & SBC's kidding thread: kidding storm

[Goat Whisperer]

We lost his dam in an accident Nov 2015 but his grand-dam is 8*M
LA 89

.

Southern didn't say that this was a FF score, the highest score a FF can get. This doe also earned her star & SG as a ff, I believe.

Last time I talked to the does owner she was producing a little over 16lbs a day.

They're lovely! So... Would it be frowned upon to ask just how many bucks you have? Cause it seems like a LOT!

Never ask a woman how old she is, how much she weighs, or how many goats she owns

Thank you guys! It really does mean alot to me.
Breeding minis is actually very hard.
Sometimes you just don't know when you mix 4 different genetics (for f-2's) what may happen. You kinda hold your breath and hope that your selections work.
Sometimes you have to go back then go forward... then sometimes higher percentage then back down.

The worst thing is I love my f-1's I cannot give them up just to keep
f-2's f-3's etc.

I don't know much about breeding, but I do know you and GW breed the prettiest goats. I would love to have some like that one day

I am happy with trips from Leah!

I am really excited about the mini mancha line up
Bingo! Our silly girl!
I really like how deep bodied Bingo is. She has great dairy length, beautiful rear and leg placement. LOVE her teats and placement!

This is Chami - LOVE this boy! I love everything about him. Everything. His length, his level back, rump, legs, and rear width!
He is one of my favorite bucks!

I would really love to have a mini Mancha. I don't really want full size goats to breed my own though, and no one around here breeds them. Apparently I just live too darn far away from NC!

I have one buck. I want one more. That is so enough smelly bucks for me!

We have 2 bucks now and that is two to many for DH but he knows why and is accepting of it....

Littlest DD put this together. I love the music with it.
From Early spring when the kids were still so little. Some just born!

Never heard back from Joy
FL isn't looking good now
Wish you the best

Hm, I didn't get a message from you. Or, at least Facebook didn't tell me about it.

We were fine. We boarded up the front of the three sided goat shelters and put the Jrs (Saanen and two Lamanchas, all 5-8 months old) in the milk room since they are in a pen with just dogloos. They made a much bigger mess than the hurricane. We didn't even have a branch down, maybe one piece of Spanish moss, and didn't have much rain at all. Should have left those ornery babies outside! LOL. On the bright side we got all sorts of stuff picked up around the farm when we thought it might get bad.
