Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

Thinking about my herds future...

I have decided to retain ONE doe for milk.

Now I don't know which one. I'm such a sentimental idiot sometimes.

I want to keep the black and white one, but shes a pygmy/ND mix as far as I know and I'm not sure if that is the best one to keep. She is just the more physically appealing. I would feel bad processing or selling the little grey one but I guess if she went to a good home I wouldn't feel so bad.

The brown NDs are cuties and are actually the most friendly now but I dont' want to keep both and I would feel bad separating them.

I'm set on the B&W but I just dont' know. Maybe I'll find another doe entirely.
 
One goat is not enough.

I encourage you to keep both.

One goat for milk is like one chicken for eggs. You need more.

I love that comparison :gig
 
Well I don't drink the milk, it would just be for cheese...

The little grey one doesn't eat much, I suppose to could keep her and her friend (b&w). The brown ones will go I guess, and the buck.
 
Lol, I always have the same problem when it comes to chosing what to keep and what goes! Wether it is lambs, pups, rabbits, calves, or foals! I always second guess myself untill I have to make the final decision!:/ (Usually I end up keeping a few more than I should!) :idunno

We have such limited space and I REALLY want to raise sheep. Guido the Angora is staying, so I think MAYBE I can sneak in the other two does too :)

In other news...Bernard is a venison fiend! He kept stealing meat from the container as I filled ;)

He was just marking which pieces were his. ;) Like the little kid who licks the candy bar to keep from having to share it! :lol:
 
I love the cat! That is something else. Mine turn their nose up at whatever I offer them and then go and steal from the dogs.
