So Climate dropped a lot from her morning test from 7 lbs to a little over 4 lbs little over 11 lbs total
Freeday did a little over 4 lbs in the evening close to 9 lbs total
Zamia did 2 lbs even so 4.8 lbs total
Shea, Taffy and Opal all milked over 4 lbs
I don't think we've ever had 4 Nigerians milk over 4 lbs
Lucky timing having the test the day before it turns unseasonably hot

That is a big difference! We were surprised when one doe (RG) had a half pound difference between AM and PM milking. Did the kids sneak some milk? Overall though, great numbers. I bet C is very happy! I don't really follow Toggs, but those seem like some great numbers.

No way a kid snuck a drink
She did 8.7 last year on her first test so better than last year by quite a bit
She did 13 on her second test last year so will be interesting to see how she does this year

You are going to be busy! Don't you have a doe due then? Fingers crossed for Rocky. I'm not bringing any of the boys this year.

The goats are really loving this oat hay
Need to try to get a few bales it doesn't usually last long

No we don't have any more due
We had planned to breed a couple to kid before the fair but it didn't work out
Little concerned about Clarabelle she isn't coming in heat
She kept letting those yearling mothers nurse her
We separated and finally got her dry off
She's kind of thin need to fatten her up
I think we thought if Clarabelle had settled she would be due that weekend

I got another new gun this week
Ruger Security 9
9mm handgun 15 +1
These have been hard to get
I'm on an insider page of a local gun store and when they get these they are literally sold in 15 minutes
Just happened to walk into a Dunham Sporting Goods store and they had one on sale for $329
Just my response to the latest assault on our 2nd Amendment rights
