[OneFineAcre]

I don't need this at this time
Really odd situation with really good animals

 

[OneFineAcre]

I need a togg buck...

If we keep on this Togg path I think we will breed Climate to an Alpine or Sannen next year

 

[Southern by choice]

Well, haven't forgotten about the prayers you'd asked for... hoping all things are well with you guys.

How many pounds is the top spot? When you do the milk test is it only against other togs or all breeds?

Only against other Toggs.

Maurine is the milk tester for the breeder we got Climate Control from and he has another doe Modern Design that is over 150 lbs. She is going to probably be #1 by a long shot, at least based on what the top 10 numbers were last year. Last year 2nd was 118 lbs so they could be 1 and 2.

That awesome, hopefully she does it. So does climate control already have a milk star then or your working towards it now? I might have missed it if you already posted she had it.

Locally(read as lower michigan) there is a group of 4 registered nubians(2 young bucks and 2 does) with 17 milk stars on their papers between them for $800obo...if we hadnt just bought the house i would be very tempted.

This is Climate's first test. And she is going to star in volume, fat, and protein, and hopefully be in top 10 for fat. This is her 5th freshening.
The other Togg we have Freday is a FF and she is going to star in all 3 categories too. Freday is going to be the better goat overall though, at least that's what I think. In the youth show at this years NC State Fair she was grand champion as a FF. Climate had best udder.

They sound like really nice togs! You expect Climate to make top 10 for volume as well then or am i misunderstanding?

No, sorry. Climate is not going to make the top 10 for volume.

Modern Design is.
