Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

And I need to get pictures of her kids. Most of my Alpines born here are the same color...broken chamoisee... my buck has probably a 90% chance of throwing that color. Here are two from last year as an example.

I enjoy eye candy and these three bucklings born last night are stinkin' adorable. One is a cou blanc with a black dorsal stripe and the other two are black with white patches and/or frosting. ADORABLE...bucks.

Maybe you need to keep one, so he can put his dam's beautiful udder on his daughters

 

[babsbag]

They are 25% ND and I don't want to start a line of goats that I can't register anywhere.

 

[babsbag]

Plus his dam is a grand-daughter to one of my original three goats and therefore related to almost every Alpine out there.

Get your building work done because it sounds like you will miss a few days of construction work in March.

4 of my 7 does kidded Sun thru Tue this week. Only 3 more...one anytime, other two maybe 2 wks??? Or whenever.

Many years back, I had about 75 does and 8 kidded in one afternoon within about 2 hrs. THAT was fun. So, get ready.

Luckily I haven't had to do much with the goats but, I've sure been inside a fair number of mini horses!

Oh why oh why do you not live near me ??? I had three in one day, that was plenty, thanks.

I think we've discussed this Babs... you need to move east, closer to the right coast as opposed to being over there on the wrong coast.

 

[babsbag]

Yes @Latestarter, we have discussed this...I like my coast

I have a friend that travels to NY every year for about a month to help a friend that owns a dairy deliver kids. I need to find someone that has the experience but not the goats so they can come and visit me. People that own goats don't have time to go away for a month.

If I don't have the dairy done I won't pull kids so that will make it a little easier.

I'll be in San Fran around May, maybe I'll have to come show ya how to weld and/or help kid!

 

[babsbag]

Wouldn't that be fun. I don't know which would be better, learning to weld and help with a kidding. What is bringing you to CA?
