I'd like to skip to the "already moved in and adjusted and settled in" part.

Upheaval is over-rated.

But hey, the company will move the normal household stuff if he goes to DC. That makes things easier.

WHAT?????? No GOAT transport???

WHAT?????? No GOAT transport???

No. They apparently don't go with the whole apartment dweller theme they're going for.

But it's freaking A_ _ _ _ n! They should be able to ship anything, right? Cut holes in the side of one of those big trailers so the goats can stick their heads out to breathe, give 'em all goggles and drive 'em in. Why can't they be totin' my goats?

Or even better, each goat gets their own shipping box and label.

Boy, you’d sure hear that UPS truck coming!

Elsa, the doe I'm supposed to sell this year for over-baking her kids-is on track to make almost 3K pounds of milk this lactation and is exceeding 12 lbs of milk every day AND she's leading the pack/a tie with a mini for butterfat. Darn you, Elsa. Almost perfect udder too.

 

[Baymule]

Wow! That’s lotsa milk!

How badly does she overbake them?

How badly does she overbake them?

Day 158+ The smallest kid from her has been 9 pounds, max over 12. She's a routine induction candidate. Or someone could breed her to dwarf and cross their fingers for small kids. Her hips are also narrow...but they wouldn't seem so narrow if she wasn't delivering calves with heads as big as my hand each time. Kids in the 6-8 pound range would probably be fine for her.

So the awesome milk and udder doesn’t make up for such problems? I guess you won’t want to breed late kidding issues into your line along with good milk qualities. There’s always something, huh?
