Hello! Things have been a bit crazy and I havent had a lot of time. I thought yall would love to hear about this crazy adventure we have going on today.
On Monday I received an email that someone whose goats I have long admired has come into some personal difficulties and needs to dramatically reduce his herd. I sent him a low ball offer not thinking he would take it and he DID!
So between Tuesday and Thursday I had to:
Get a shelter and field ready for 10 new does
Fix the goat transport
Figure out how to get to Illinois and back
And
Tell my husband without him killing me
So my wonderful husband is making the 14 hour round trip drive today to pick up my 10 does and 2 more for Farendorf. ! 3 of them have brand new babies on them. The rest are all bred and can kid at any time They were exposed starting on October 1st.
So I have kiko, kiko-boer, kiko-spanish and kiko-oberhalsi does coming. Some bred to the top kiko buck at the WSU buck test in 2009, some are bred to a fulblood Spanish.
Wish us luck on this adventure and hope none kid in route!
