Latestarter's 2019 kidding

[farmerjan]

I had to smile at "RJ's " name. There was a holstein bull that was actually Named BRASS BALLS. In AI no less. We used to laugh about that on the farm I milked on all those years ago. Glad he never got as popular as Elevation was to the holstein breed.

As I stated yesterday, Beauty was close. I'd posted 24-48 but "knew" it would be sooner than that. Sure enough, went to feed this morning and all the girls were out except Beauty. Meet the newest addition to my herd; Beauty II. Just kidding (literally)... thinking maybe reflection... Almost the exact same markings as her mother. Yup a beautiful BIG doeling!

And just for an update, here are Blackie's kids moments later. You can see the size difference between these girls.

And of course PB&J's huge buckling

And I like the name. Will have to explain it to people but Reflection is perfect.

Congrats! She is BIG! I thought I was looking at a pic of Beauty. Then saw what you wrote "Meet the newest addition...." then I realized it's the doeling. Reflection sounds nice. I bet you really want to name her Beauty II just to mess with us (@Wehner Homestead & I) for picking at you.

WHY would I name a goat Lisianthus?!

I LOVE the name Lisianthus!!! I tend to name my kids after flowers or herbs. So that name would fit right in here on Devonviolet Acres. In fact, Lisianthus is one of my favorite cutting flowers and I plan to plant it to sell at farmer’s market this summer.

I still have a lot of lamb meat in the freezer from Mike. I really need to start working through that as well.

And LS blessed us with some of that abundance of lamb. I’m looking forward to cooking some up in the near future.

Echo.....new doeling name. Easier to say than Reflections.

You have "several" that all look pretty much alike.

Lovely kids -- and 3 of 4 are girls !! Nice trend.
