Green Acres Farm - LA

[Green Acres Farm]

Euphoria ended up kidding 5 days before her due date on February 10th with triplets (1 doe, 2 bucks)! I kept her doe and sold the bucklings together as pet wethers.

In March I went to my 1st show with Euphoria, Edelweiss and Dazzle. Euphoria was 1st in her class in 2/3 rings, the highest Dazzle placed was 3rd in a class of 20+ goats, and Edelweiss got a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in a tiny class of 3.

Euphoria was also appraised in April. Unfortunately, her kids got into the pen with her during the night and she was completely empty for her morning appraisal. She received a score of VEVV 89.

I am picking up a new herdsire tomorrow who is being shipped in all the way from Washington to Florida!

Congratulations that is wonderful!

Beautiful!

Loving her mammary! Ummmmm Apparently the kids getting in did not affect her score.

Did you enjoy the experience? On the rare occasion I get to go for a few hours I love it, the energy, the people, the goats. Just so much fun.
Of course I don't have to do any real work but run goats.

Who is your new herdsire out of?

I really enjoyed LA this year. The appraiser was great and I had a great experience. It wasn’t my 1st time attending an LA, but it was my 1st time participating.

My new boy is out of Dragonfly APT Aramus x SGCH Castle Rock Angelika VVEE 91. His name is Almar Acres Danika, AKA “Danny”.

I’ve always admired his dam and jumped at the chance to purchase her son. I will use him to linebreed on Cleveland Sage with my does who are related to him, too.

Almondine and Mary Arden (Almondine FF daughter) also kidded this year both with twins.

Structurally I like Mary Arden’s udder better than Almondine’s, she just needs to gain capacity. She freshened with an udder so small it would be tiny for even a Nigerian, but she’s gained a lot more capacity since then so I’m confident it will improve.

I was beginning to wonder if you were coming back or not. So glad that kidding season, showing, and LA went well. I like Euphoria and can’t wait to see pics of your new buck!

Danny is a handsome little guy! He has a super wide rump and hopefully he’ll pass on his mama’s foreudder.

He looks like he is going to be a nice masculine buck! I like boys that look like boys!
I know pics can be deceiving about size... is he a big boy or is it just the pics?
I know you must be excited, he is a handsome fella! That a really nice line up!

He is quite big for his age! I plan on getting a weight on him today. I’m excited to use him!
