Hall Family Farm's first Boer goats- update Pg 3 & 4

[HallFamilyPoultry-Jim]

You may find that out when she kids. I would keep a careful watch on her as she may be one that needs assistance when kidding or she may be a horrible mother...just some thoughts. Sometimes you get really lucky with auctions, but sometimes it takes a while before the reason the animal was there becomes known to you.

She is a young doe and obviously this is her first kidding.

We are looking carefully for any reason she was sold.

When she kids and we determine what breed the kids are, that may tell us more. The sire is a mystery.

We bought our Dusty at an Amish Auction..Not quite the same as a livestock, but pretty close. We had no reason to buy her except that she was cuter than a button and we loved her silver color. After we got her loaded in the car we ran into the guy that had brought her to the sale. Turns out he is a distant relative, raises and sells goats of several different kinds, including Fainters, Angoras, and NDs. The reason Dusty was sold was simple, she was a mixed goat of an accidental breeding and was the 3rd of a set of identical trips and he just couldn't justify keeping her....so he brought her to the auction and we got a wonderful little girl for a whole $40. Sometimes, it is just fate that brings the right goat to the right place. Glad you found this one, it sounds like a match made in goat heaven.

Can you get some pictures of her udder and vulva? From the angle of the pictures, she doesn't look very far along to me, but it could just be the angle.

Had trouble logging back in. Thanks to Terrilacy I am back!

She is starting to show more. Our guess is a kid within a month. Maybe sooner or longer. With no history, we really do not know.

She has bonded with our LGD, Sadie.

I have a 10 year old son, and he is very active with the goats, and really loves farming. I also recently sold 4 does to a boy who I believe is in middle school and he is really enjoying learning about the goats.

Wish you all the best of luck with her. Congrats to your son.
