LHF kidding 2012 PHOTOS AFTER THE STORM

keep her and see what you get or is she getting culled too? I wouldn't blame doing the buck stops here so to speak

I am only keeping 4 replacements this year. I wasn't planning on keeping one from Lorily. I was going to keep one of the doelings from Tori, Lorily's mom, and start over with the blood-line. Tori had twin doelings.

so far on my possible keepers list.......Okay, now don't laugh at me. I have a lot of big decisions to make.

#1 Nova's doeling
#2 one of Tori's doelings, probably the lighter colored one, the darker colored one, has a pretty bad slope on her rump.

Okay, this is were it gets trickier.

#3 I really like the little doeling on Snowball, Valentine, with the heart shape on her back.
#4 doeling on Sparky is kind of nice.
#5, actually talked about keeping the paint doe on Indie
#6 Peaches just had a very feminine doeling out of goldman.

I was really really wanting a doe from Dancer, kind of bummed about that. Life goes on.

and with 3 of the does left to kid that are new blood-lines, HOt mamma, Glory and Classy lady, I would really like a chance to keep a doe from at least one or two of those girls.

so many decisions to make.

plus I have customers, waiting to hear from me, so they can pick.


My son gets first pick of the bucks. for his show wether. we told him he could pick anyone he wants. Although I have a friend that I am letting sneak in ahead of him to pick a breeding sire.

so you are keeping 6 maybe more?
I have a doe and a buck so far the buck 75% nubian/ alpine the doe is 50% alpine/nubian I haven't decided who stays and who goes

Lorily's paint doe and traditional buck, 1 hour old, well maybe 2 hours. You know how time flies by when you are having fun.

I have no idea what color that paint doe is, but I would say dark brown with black spots. That is my story anyway.

they are adorable.. I love babies

Very nice! You have so many nice kids it is going to be difficult to pick a few. I had so many buck kids this year I can't fill my doe orders so I can only keep two.

 

[greenfamilyfarms]

Agreed!!! I would want to keep them all.

 

[20kidsonhill]

Well, 5 does left to kid, in the next few days. Who will be next?


Technically, Classy Lady was due yesterday.

I have no breeding date on Glory, but she had a little goo on her vulva last night, and she is looking pretty close. I am really really excited to see her kids.

Big grey nubian cross, Tina is due on the 25th

And Hot mamma and Annie are due near Oct 1st.


All doelings at this point would be fine. would give me more selling options. I can always use a doe as a show wether.

We have live babies, a buck and a doe.

Yes, i know that rhymes.

Happy Baby Day!

2 day old pictures of Peach's kids from Goldman. I look at them and think that they aren't the giant tanks that I had imagined they could be, even keeping in mind that they are 12% nubian, but then I can see a lot of potential in them. and they look so smooth, they already have an elegance to them that reminds me of Goldman.

They have his flipped up ears on the bottom, At least the doeling does, the buck just has crinkles at the bottom. I have learned over the years, that it is very genetic.

Her doe is on the right in both pictures and the buck on the left.

There is something about that buck that catches my eye! He seems to have a very solid stance. His markings are better than the girl. I don't like the traditionals as much but he may be the exception!
