LHF kidding 2012 PHOTOS AFTER THE STORM

[autumnprairie]

Your goats are beautiful

Could you take some pictures of your grain feeders and your hay feeder, your grain feeder is similiar to mine but you have an add top? Is this to keep them still, or tied or to keep the weather out.
THanks ahead of time

see if any of these pictures help.

The tops are to keep the goats from standing in the feeders. I don't like the Pvc feeder, the feed comes out of it too easily. I really like the wooden onse.

back part of hay feeder.

front part of hay feeder. they also have a grain feeder in the front, works pretty well, but the hay has to be scrapped out daily before feeding grain. (the feeder on the left needs the wiring put back in it, it is loose and not in the proper place. )

this is a picture from last year, nibbles is in labor, she is concentrating, but it shows the front of the feeder pretty well.

Enjoyed meeting your girls at Locust Haven. You really have lots of nice looking does.

Can't wait to follow and see all the nice kids coming from these nice looking does. Really awesome herd.

And amazing set up you have 20kidsonhill. Lots of hard work and passion in working to get this set up properly along with good livestock. Thanks for all the photos showing your set up. Really impressive.

Hoping Twister is back to his ole self in no time.

Hoping all goes well with this long kidding schedule. Hoping for fast, easy deliveries, and healthy kids. Will stay tuned.

We are sure enjoying the wonderful weather that Virginia is getting. I can't tell you all how many times a day I think about, pray about having this weather continue for kidding. It is 50 out.

The girls are doing great.

Thank you for all the compliments. I tried to add more pictures of some of the does today, but the uploads seem to be giving me a hard time. Will try again later.

Yeah I am LOVING this weather. I am crossing my fingers that it holds until a couple days after we have babies.


Great looking girls. Can't wait to see baby pictures.

Macy(full-blood) and classy lady(75% beor) are bred to goldman. Glory is bagging and for sure bred, Classy lady isn't quit as obvious, but we are pretty sure she is pregnant. They are both first timers and we purchased this summer to improve our genetics. Peaches was also in with goldman for a month, but she may have allready been bred by twister, so time will tell.

Macy has her bottom to the camera and classy lady is the chubby doe in the back left looking at the camera. They are both february 2011 doelings, macy was seen being bred on sept 18th and classy lady sept. 25th.

I am sorry your numbers were down, We have discussed this in the past, my husband wants to breed for middle of December kidding next year. I worry about breeding too early in summer and it causing us to have lower numbers, but I know we have kidded in december before, It was a lot of work right before christmas.
