Between the fair check and the goat sales here before Christmas it sure helps with the hay bill

It's taken me several days of putting a toddler to sleep at bedtime and nap time to read your whole journal but I've accomplished it!
As someone that is just starting into Nigerians, it's great to see someone else's experiences and I know I'll draw from this in the future.
Congratulations on your wins! Your goats are amazing! I hope to one day be able to accomplish what you have. For now, we are focusing on replacing our DD2's dairy with all caprine. I'm trying to maintain stock that meets the standards and all of my goats are ADGA at this time. It gives me options.
I look forward to following your journal in the future!

Freday looks like a million bucks
I think she is the better goat
A lot of body capacity for a FF

I updated my thread title to reflect the change in season
So last year I got Maurine a washing machine for Christmas and she got me. Dryer.
This year I'm getting her a new mattress and she is getting me a couch
Getting a more high end mattress since I am now a few years into my 50"s and my beautiful bride is going to reach that magical number next year
For those of you not familiar with the 50's
They can be painful
Put the old couch on the Gazebo until we can haul it off

New mattress is on my wish list for sometime this year.... 64 and counting.... everything aches, and especially at 1:00 a. m. when I have to get up and go test a herd that thinks 2:15 a.m. is actually morning time to start milking....
I like practical...

What do you think of Climate ?
Her condition?
For 300 days in milk and a top 10 doe for fat?
I think we have done a good job of keeping her conditioned but interested I. Your opinion
