Were the GHK does FF? That is odd.

While we are with you on needing some trips to make up the difference maybe some trips DOELINGS would be a good thing to wish for!

Yes, I told all the ladies we needed some triplet girls. Hubby said they just looked at me like "you needed to place that order 5 months ago."

Gee Jodie, you are handling this pretty darn good! The prices on the GHK's .... well they should be spittin out GOLDEN kids!

We took over Straw's herd, most of the goats wre sold but when we move I am hoping to build the herd back up. I love the Kiko's. The twins from this year... we are keeping both. The doeling is my "baby" and the buckling is a beast and yet is my snuggler.

All the baby pictures and talk is making me nuts that we chose to wait until next year. I know, as crazy as our life is right now, that it was the best decision for goat newbies. But still.... I want some babies!

I looked up my records. Brownie had triplets last year and a single after triplets is common so she gets a pass. Daisy had a single her first year and twins last year but one had to be bottle fed. Add in the fact her milk took a day to come in, she is on the cull list. Lilly has dropped singles three years in a row so she will headed to market as well.

Southern, I agree. For what the GHK does cost, I am NOT happy. If it were others as I might think it is my management but so many of mine drop triplets and the occasional quads I have to think it is that line.

On a happy note, Peaches kidded this morning with twin bucks. She is a purebred Adams Family Kiko doe. Always has nice kids. Always twins, even the first time. I have pictures in my phone but I am not feeling well today. So I am being lazy.

That should be it for this round. Zypher and CVK-147 both ultra-sounded indeterminate in October so I don't think they took the first cycle. The next group has an starting date of December 29th so we have a little breather.

For those keeping score: 12 buck kids, 8 doe kids.

Sired by Quantum: 7 bucks, 1 doe
Sired by Bullet: 5 bucks, 7 does

I thought that was odd because I was thinking Jodie doesn't have singles (LOL Jodie's goats!) And yes if they were all having singles then you would think management but that can't be it.

I have a Zephyr but she is a lamancha
Our only mature kiko doe was bred to a Lamancha buck this year... freezer meat.

So QUANTUM.... what is up with him?

Do you know why George sold all his goats? Talked with him last year and we were hoping to get a few does in the future... saw he is no longer in operation.

Southern, if you are talking about George Hucks, I have no idea. Haven't seen him around in a few years.

Here are some baby pics for y'all.
Peaches and her twin bucks, just a few hours old.

Brownie and her monster doe kid. She was 8 1/2 lbs at birth.

Mercury and her twin boys, they are getting big.

And some random baby pictures from Christmas eve. Because I have nothing better to do on Christmas eve than play with baby goats.

Bindi and her babies. These kids are less than 3 hours old and were already climbing into the hay rack.
