I would make the drive to Missouri for does but I don't need a buck. We were the Top Producer at the MD Buck test last year so AFK Bullet #5 is going to stick around for a few years.
Let me know if you will have any doe kids for sale.
Wow, she's an incredibly beautiful doe! Love her horns, they look so, I don't know,........ exquisitely stunning! How old is she? She looks like she's a great momma and really attentive to the newborns in the picture. What a big bunch of kids! How exciting. You're gonna have your hands full with that many little ones around. Congrats!
Just out of curosity, were the bucks the darker ones? Wonder what the chances are you carried a set of twin and a set of triplets at the same time. Hmm.
We are in NE Oklahoma, and have relatives in SW Mo. Kimberling City, Springfield, and Ozark.
I went to your website and saw your lovely family. You have much to be proud of and a lot to take care of. I sure hope you are teaching all those girls to cook Missouri style.
Your goats are beautiful.
We attended the OSU goat boot camp twice. We really enjoyed it both times and learned a lot.
Just want to say Thanks So Much for all the comments, and advice!! We are watching close, but letting BT try to raise them. She is being well taken care of too.
Here are some specifics for those of you with questions, and interest. Our son, David, went out this morning a little after 6 to check on the does. No new kids were there. He went back a little before 7 to check the roads to see if they were clear from the ice storm. He walked past the does, and noticed BT had 4 kids! He came running in to tell us, and then went back out to check them out, and take care of things. While he was making sure they all had nursed a bit, she stood up and had another one. At that point, there were about 4 or 5 of my children out watching....talk about real life hands on homeschool. When they came to tell me, I though they were just joking. I mean 4 was a big enough surprise!
Okay, so I was off a little on the weights, but between 6-8 was a fairly close guess. Here are the true weights... white buck 7.5 lb, tan doe 5.25 lb, brown doe 5.25 lb, white doe 5.0 lb, and brown buck 7.75 lb.
We don't know the exact age of BT, but I'm guessing 7.
Congratulations! That is one awesome doe. I'd love to snatch a boy. But alas. I have a buck, and that is all I am allowed to have at the moment That and I'm being discouraged to not diversify into too many breeds. Some people... I mean, how can you choose between just a couple ?
