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

[luvmypets]

March 5th is my Mom's birthday

Why don't you send her a "present"

All sillyness aside, cannot wait to see what they give you!

Can't wait to see these girls kids together.

We are pretty excited too! Ruby's udder is already as gorgeous as ever... hairy but gorgeous!
Zephyrs udder is also looking great!

Excited to hear how things go and see pics. I love hearing about all your goats, but gotta admit, Ruby is my favorite!

Well very interesting... We have a buck that appears to carry a homozygous gene for Blue eyes.

I had recorded him as 90% blue eyes BUT I was corrected by none other than @Goat Whisperer

I had mixed up in my mind a litter's sire.

So... anyway "Will", one of our Nigerians has produced 100% Blue eyes in all his offspring! What is interesting is his male offspring also produce predominantly blue eyes. Pretty strong gene I'd say.

Who knew.

Watch out with that "strong gene" talk! You're setting yourself up, you know. The resident geneticist (@Bunnylady) is likely to give you a lecture. I don't mind, though, since I think genetics is fascinating.

LOL I don't care one way or another. I like brown eyes
But he has produced blue eyes in 24 out of 24.

I don't hold much in the genetics area in high regard really... because more and more is learned all the time and what once was thought of one way has been shown to not be the case... but I know one thing...

A goat will always produce a goat... it will never be, or evolve into, a sheep or a dog or a monkey or man.

AMEN to that! Never will...never has...

I'm just sayin'...
