Well the last kids showed up yesterday. YUP you guessed it, 2 more BUCKS!!! UGH! The only plus is they are Fullbloods & totally Black. How fast can I get the For sale signs up!
So the total kids this year, 7 bucks & 1 doe! We are keeping the doe! the rest need to make travel plans!
We had two kiddings this year. Our one doe gave us two beautiful blue eyed does. But this pass Sunday my other doe gave me three bucks. Last year all I got was does. Next year I will have several first timers, so I am hoping they give me more does. The three bucks just born are cute, but I already have two, and don't want more than 2 bucks for my little farm.
Gracee had two doelings and a buck, all aborted late term.
Flora had two bucklings
Bonnie had a single doeling, aborted also (I had a chlamydia abortion storm)
Snow White had two bucklings, premature, one died one lived.
So of the kids that lived, I have three bucklings out of four kiddings. Oh, and I was given a fourth buckling by a neighbor too...
There's not much market here right now for wethers or bucks, unfortunately. All of these but the gift buck will probably go in the freezer.
