One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

I’m telling you, you s

I don’t know a way, but I feel like I would remember if I saw a dam/daughter both with a 92 LA score. I also kinda think if someone else had that, it would be pretty publicized...

ETA: you could maybe ask on a couple of the popular goat FB groups: Nigerian Dwarf Goat- Dairy Side & Dairy Goat Pedigree Chat.

I asked on the Dairy Goat Pedigree chat
And someone said 2 Dill's goats had
But no one else has any
One had a 91 for both

Congrats!

Congratulations on the LA scores! Pray that calves sell really well and I just may be able to pull off that Zamia buckling, if not in the spring if you still have him.

Happy Late Birthday! I did think about you and got a wish sent on fb, just not over here.

A thousand rounds I take it is a reward for the goats doing such a good job.

I discovered you can't fire 1000 rounds with 1 hour of range time
Particularly if one of your weapons is a single action revolver
I managed 160 rounds of 9mm and about the same in 22 LR
So maybe 350 rounds
I have powder stains on my fingers

Sounds like a good hour of fun.

@Green Acres Farm
Did you see the doe just got only the 2nd ever 93 ?
And her daughter got a 92 ?

Yes! It’s crazy she’s been in milk since 2016!

Yes! It’s crazy she’s been in milk since 2016!

If we were the top we only stayed there for a week
That's ok
I feel pretty good about being 2nd
Funny can't sell Zamias buckling but was just contacted by someone wanting to reserve one from Clarabelle next spring

Funny story- earlier this spring I had plans to get a buckling that was linebred off that doe (granddam on both sides I believe).

I knew she was a good one!

So we have a happy ending
I had not mentioned this but we were a host farm for linear appraisal
One of our guests had a doe get loose and take off
Down the road and into the woods and gone
She was sighted several times but was on the run for 3 days
We got a call yesterday that she was hanging around a mans barn about 1/4 mile from where she went AWOL
Maurine and I went down there to try and get her but she was WILD
Owner brought her trailer this morning with the goats daughter and a couple of herd mates and she walked right up and jumped on the trailer
I think she was ready to go home
