Maybe you should put that girl on a diet to prevent her giving birth to a calf (or calves) instead of a kid or 3...

She had twin kids last year as an FF, she may go trips this year. She isnt actually fat I have no clue why she looks so prego so early. She could not have been bred earlier because we had no buck.

So Ivy had twins as an FF, i suspect that means trips for her 2F. Anyone seen this in diary goats?
I know Phoebe had twins as an FF but has always had twins and i gather that is common in boers. I know with ND i have seem many journals where when they had twins as FF they went on to have trips, quads, etc in later freshenings.

Saw Oreo being mounted yesterday by the mutt ram....she should already be bred.
Still nothing from Phoebe and Big Boy.
294 may not have been bred, she was having problems last year so didnt get bred. 308 was bred late as she didn't have her lamb until mid-june.
I am hoping that next breeding season we will be able to flush all of our sheep, this year they only got a partial flush

Hopefully the new sheep will be around the same time as our Suffolk and hopefully no one has anything until at least mid-February.

I didnt see the deed but at this time i will assume phoebe is bred and should kid the end of April, same for any new sheep that were not bred yet.
The rams still seem interested in 294 but she will not stand for them now.
Also if i didnt mention, all the new sheep had twins last year except small brown because she is the wooly brown ones 2018 lamb. I've added the info i do know to the tally post.

Ivy started making a bag about a week ago so she may go earlier then 2/15. We plan on giving her CDT on 1/15.
Small brown now has a name, hot chocolate. A young man and his dad come to buy piglets and when he found out they had no names he asked if he could name one, we told him yes.
All breeding seems to be done with, I have not witnessed any mounting or chasing from the rams. I have seen Big Boy being bucky towards Ivy and Phoebe but neither of them want anything to do with him.

So did the young boy name one that they bought? What name did he choose? Hope all your breeding goes well without any problems.
