Those kids certainly do have nice thick legs.
I hate seeing boer kids w/ stick legs.
Great pics!

Hot Mamma's full blood doelings. The one on the left is the bottle baby.
ONe of glory's doelings, a few days old.
Two of the three triplets from snowball. VAlentine is the traditional on the left, one of the bucklings is on the right ( I just realized that the other triplet is in the background, same color as the buckling on the right.)
the goats enjoying my husbands clutter. tanks left over from when he was making barbeque cookers.

We have 35 right now, 20 girls and 15 boys, And I have one more doe to kid in the next few days, (her due date is a mystery) and two more does to kid Middle of April, And hopefully one more after that. The last one kept coming back into heat, but I think we got her this time.fortheloveofgoats said:Wow, look at all those babies!20kidsonhill said:
Then we start all over, but this year we will be breeding to start kidding in December, instead of the beginning of February, so it is going to feel like we are having babies all the time. We just decided that we need 6 or so more weeks on our kids before the easter/spring sale and also on our show wethers for the fairs. We can easilly get 90lbs on some of the bigger ones, and even 100 to 110 on a couple of them, but we would like the majority of them to reach 90lbs by august, and with some of the kids being born in March that is really pushing it. Plus it is better to not push them too hard on weight gain, less fat, more muscle kind of deal.
It will also work out better for breeding back our yearling does the first year. If they are born in December and we breed them back when they are 9 months old they will kid in February/march instead of April/May. They wont have to nurse through the summer months. We can have their kids weaned by end of May. It is early hard on a young doe to nurse in June and July, with the warmer weather and parasites.
