That must be a relief! We are supposed to get 3-4, but every forcaster has their own opinion.

Woohoo!
I haven't even started breeding... gonna have to start thinking about it soon. I'm going to try and time it for spring break - so I have a little time yet.

We have to spread ours out more now due to headcount
Plus we figured out we were losing premiums at the State Fair by not having any kids before March
No entry's in that Sr Kid age group
So far
Moonpie X Fortunate Son
Cookie. X Valiant
Dee X Valiant
Molasses X Big Brown
Dee and Molasses are FF
Moonpie and Cookie are dry Srs
Holding off on the ones on milk test
We have another dry yearling Tira who we will breed when she comes in

We were trying to figure out breeding plans yesterday.
Then I started to cry. Too stressful. Too many breeds. Too many goats. Too late in the year. Too many options. Not enough options.
GW said... AI... that's the answer!
Your line up is pretty exciting!

AI is the answer but last year a friend brought two does over here to be bred when the AI didn't take. It was late in the year and no more time so she had to find a buck. She gave me the doelings that we born though so that was ok with me. 
I won't breed until Oct, hope my girls know that.

Ahem... October isn't all that far away, and getting closer, faster than many want...

We haven't decided for sure who we are going to try to AI.
I believe Clara Belle and Taffy for sure. And , maybe Shea.

I thought y'all were going to AI Coco? 
SO excited for y'all! The next 2-3 years are going to be so exciting!
I cannot wait to see Molasses freshen and her kids with Big Brown

Just wanted to say I was out on the side porch and I glanced up and Isaac was standing along the fencline looking over at the young does field...
He just made me smile. He looked so beautiful, handsome and quite regal. It would have been the perfect picture.
He is growing so nicely.
