Off the top of my head, I think we have 4 more to go in the fall Cocoa, Coleus, Clara Belle, and Daisy.
Then Clementine and Buffy in the spring. That's why I was trying to get a buck who was old enough to breed. Mostly for Clementine. I really don't know what the plan is for her. On top of that, I have someone who wants to buy her. She's a twin from Zamia. Plan was to breed her to a different buck, breeding Clara Belle to Moonshine. Not excited about anybody else. Only real option is Caspian

OK, we think Taffy was bred last night.

Still trading emails about another buckling. Will probably know for sure in the next couple of days.

OK we have officially reserved a buckling. First time for us buying a goat sight unseen, much less one that hasn't been born.

Edited to add the following:
Just found out I do not "officially" have a buckling reserved.
Interesting story.

Coco and Big Brown are breeding tonight. Big Brown is just 13 months old, but we are using him extensively this fall. He was a 2x GC Jr Buck and has by far the best feet and lets of any of our bucks. In fact the first time our vet saw him asked "your keeping him as herd sire aren't you?" He's also our only blue eyed buck.

And Coco is one of our nicest does. This will be her 3rd freshening.

Well, that's 8 down 2 to go. Everyone bred so far has kidded before. We are going to breed 2 of our yearlings, Clara Belle and Daisy. They are supposed to come into heat in the next week.

We are going to wait to breed the other two yearlings Buffy and Clementine in April.

All the goats were very happy today. I think goats that have kidded before know they are going to have babies and it makes them happy. Goats do love their babies. :love

She's a lovely doeling. What age group was did she place 3rd in? What is your farm?

We are friends with John and Judy Nelson with J-Nels who had the GC Jr. Doe at Nationals. They are here in N.C.
