Congrats!

Thanks

 

[Southern by choice]

Good job getting her through her lactation! Does Maurine hand milk her? Can't imagine her on the UEZ.
Not easy when they leave home go to a new one, adjust change diet, show etc.
I bet C. is happy!

She hand milks the Toggs
In fact she hand milks most of the Nigerians now
C is very happy
Modern Design made the Elite doe list and now Climate the SG
Modern is most likely to be number 1 in fat and Climate could conceivably be 2
Modern will be top 10 in volume as well

Just in time for Christmas
I have a wether and a pet doe scheduled to leave together on Sunday $225

Just got a Pay Pal payment for a 50% deposit on Moonpie (bred to Big Brown) and Molasses (bred to Vivaldi) from a lady in VA. $650
So that would really be a nice $875,before Christmas

And have lady in Oklahoma who is really interested in 2 buck kids Opal.x Zeus and Cocoa x Jupiter but trying to figure out the shipping
They are too big to fly at a reasonable price
Working a couple of angles though

How are you getting these sales? Is it word of mouth or are you advertising somewhere?

Why is Maurine hand milking? Did the Udderly EZ have problems? I got one in July this year and notice a big decrease in effectiveness during the last four months. It does't seem to be holding the vacuum as well. But, then again, the goats are not as full at each milking so that may have something to do with it. I had a problem a couple of months after getting it in that the hand squeezing apparatus broke where it joined the plunger. But I was very happy with Udderly EZ's response- they sent me two replacement parts and the directions on how to replace it were clear and simple.

The pets were a reference. We have a friend who is the head of the animal science department at Mount Olive University. In fact that's how we sold Moonshine and Bam Bam to one of her students.
Moonpie and Molasses through the FB page for Nigerian Dwarfs, and I think the person in OK for the bucks was through that page.

I think the ones that she is hand milking she has just determined that it's faster and easier for those particular does. the UEZ works well, and I can't really do anything with the Nigerians with out it. She's better at it than me.

More good news this morning.
Clarabelle is in heat and is being bred to Vivaldi.
I guess we have just missed her last heats.
Really happy about this.
