Same here. Feels good too! LOL
For me it is really hard to let my bucks go, the does are far easier.
It did come to a point of having too many related bucks though.
It is always a great feeling when you get numbers down and love the homes the goats have gone too though.
Also there was a season as you were developing the herd where retaining was necessary. We did the same and will actually need to with the minis and Lamanchas as the herd gets developed more, but now you have seen what you want to do that was part of the plan all along. I bet you and Maurine feel pretty good about that! With 2 years of LA, and milk test, and the showing it gives you that focus on wjat to develop and what not. I bet you feel like you can breathe a little better now too! Until the kidding storm begins.
You guys plan on doing many spring shows this year? Or are you just going to focus on who you want to take to Nationals?
I am hoping to join GW and Little Bit more this year for the few they go to. I love seeing all the goats and the people.

I am not a goat person 
as most know, but that is a very NICE looking udder. It is as well balanced as I think I have ever seen.

Thanks.
It's well attached too.
For the new folks out there when people talking about an udder having good attachment, this is why you want that.
5 freshenings, 300 plus days in milk, with about a gallon of milk in her udder which weighs 7.6 lbs and her udder floor is still pretty high.
She got an E for excellent on udder on her appraisal and it was well deserved.

Why would someone buy them and just decide they don't want them? That's crazy to me. Poor goats. That's why I hate selling wethers ( maybe I'm overprotective LOL)
Glad y'all found them a new home- hopefully they'll be well taken care of and kept around for a while.
Glad you made a little $ on the deal
Sounds like Maurine did pretty good on getting them "out the door"!
