Just WOW!! They are so beautiful. I love that deep red paint boy. He's good lookin'.

My Jenny (who is 50/50 nubian/boer) is 1x1 teated. I might try milking her since IF she will cooperate. She loves to eat on the milk stand like everyone else, lol.

I can tell that Macy's boy is going to be nice and solid. The doe has such a lovely femanine face but she doesn't look nearly as wide.
Congratulations, Goldman is a very nice lookign buck. How is he with parasites?

I agree, the doe seems disturbingly thin boned for having so much genetics behind her. Goldman has almost his entire pedigree going back several generations ennobled. and Macy has 8 ennoblements on her sire's side. Although out of the 4 full-blood does we purchased, Macy is my least favorite.

If memory serves me, we have wormed him one time, since he has been her, and it was around a month after we brought him home. He has been here 5 months, because He bred Macy the day after he arrived. He doesn't believe in small talk.

Where we got him from, they worm on a regular basis and have no pasture for their bucks and a small amount for their does. So I was concerned about parasite resistance and I still am. We cull if we have to worm an animal on a regular basis, and I certainly have too much money into him to just cull him.

Saw Lorily, the prolapse doe, off to herself, and then saw her dig a hole, lay down, stand up, look at her rear end, ect.... a couple of times. so I started trying to call for someone to come home and help. Took me an hour to arrange for someone, and then she went back and joined the herd, started chewing her cud, ect..... Lorily is so funny, Ha ha ha.

One of those "if I didn't need you alive right now I'd totally kill you" scenarios. Goats... gotta love em.

Oh you silly goats. We had back ups all prepared last year for when the big moment arrived for Daisy. Of course, she waited until hubby and my dad were at work and my mom left for her four day trip to Mexico. Totally convinced she knew somehow.
