Jodief100--- random stuff and BIG news

I haven't been here a in a few weeks, it has been crazy. All the goats are out in the field so now I can clean out the barn. I am still figuring out who is going to the buck test, I have a few good choices. All of the bottle tramps are weaned. I have 4 does left to kid. The four that were open when I had them all ultra sounded in December. They can go anytime in the next two months, none look close.

I trimmed Quantum's hooves last weekend for the first time since July. He is a pain to catch. I expected lots of issues but they looked like they had been trimmed the week before, almost nothing to trim off. I hope he passes that trait to his kids.

Wow, almost nothing to trim off in almost a year since his last trim. I would definitely hope he passes off that particular trait.

Ditto that!

I know I have not been on here in awhile, it has been a very busy year. But I have some exciting news and I want to share it with my farmer friends.

Our buck was the top buck at the MD Buck test! Our boys as a group earned the top consignment of the year for the second time!

And we brought these little buggers home from the sale.

Congrats Jodie!
I must say I am NOT surprised at all about your buck!
Big accomplishment that you and your animals worked for and earned!

The pups are toooo stinking cute! Love to see how they grow!

Was his sire in the buck test too?

Was his sire in the buck test too?

Yes. His Sire was top 10 in the buck test in 2012. The sire of our other 3 bucks which collectively earned top consignment was top 5 in 2010.

Buying good performance gives you good performance.
