Sorry for the tough year. But now you ahve all these babies growing up to look forward to.

thank you, We have worked hard with your herd to improve the legs on our percentages and to not add any more breeding stock to the herd with weak legs. We are getting there. I still have a couple does that are a little more hock-kneed than I would like to see and a couple with weaker pasturns than I care for.

As far as the brisket, although ours aren't anything like some of those high-end full=bloods, I do like a nice brisket in my does, and It has been another area we have concentrated on. I have a rule that if the front of the chest doesn't come out from the legs straight and then goes up at a 90 degree angle like a corner, compared to just coming out from the front legs at an angle and going right into the neck, I don't keep it in my herd. Thank you for noticing. Still have some work to do on this, as well. Hopefully, my two new boys, will put the finishing touches on this for us, plus add more muscle in the back leg.

Muscle in the back leg and smoothness in the shoulders is really what we are working on right now with these new bucks, while still trying to keep the other qualities that we have tried to achieve.

Congrats on all the babies...you must have your hands full!

Actually, dancer seems okay, Indie, the paint doe always looks miserable towards the end. We were so tired from the weekend, we slept through the night, and didn't even due a barn check at 2am, Of course, we were pretty sure the next one isn't due until Wednesday. We are going to bed at 9 tonight and not getting up until 5:45. Hoping to feel rested in the morning.
