Thank you!
I may have added a couple of extra dwarfs over the pandemic. The other lady in town that does goats makes most of her money traveling and doing petting zoo birthday things and goat yoga (yes, we live in THAT kind of place) is currently trapped out of the country and she has no foreseeable income over the next few months with the disease going around, so she's selling almost everything. She had these two two year old does that were the size of my Michigan buck out of her best doe with a positively thrilling udder. And these may be that does last babies...and they are so small she can't find a buck to breed them to, so I bought them. And now she's got just a little more money to pay her farm hands while she's stuck out of the country. They are the two red brown ones. They will be registered on her return and she'd like to buy a doeling from me when things settle down in the animal parties business. For now when she goes back it looks like she'll go back to being a nurse again.
She also wants me to "foster" one of her pregnant does too in exchange for a doeling, but I'm not comfortable with that level of liability no matter how. With my luck, that would be the doe with a death wish or with serious kidding problems and I'd lose her.
Anyway, here's a video of the other goat lady, probably still stuck in Peru.
I'm excited about the does I did get because their pedigrees look like this. And I'm pretty sure one is polled. She didn't think she would even be able to breed them because they wound up so small, but they match my buck in size and they are wide enough IMO.

...I couldn't open the video of goat lady, but that is great that you are getting good deals on new goats. How many are you up to now ?
Don't tell DH where they hay is going.
I think it's time to start carrying panels and banging posts until the sun goes down...tomorrow, obviously. It's dark now.
The fewer times a panel hits me in the face the better and they are really meant to be carried by two and all.
