Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

Sorry about the hen...it is never easy to lose them.

Your spotted doeling has a sister

 

[babsbag]

And did I mention that she is "on sale" half price?

I am getting rid of all of the Boers. I think my big buck is leaving soon, the other two does are sold as soon as they are bred, and that leaves your doeling's sister and a junior herd sire.
My DH wants to make a trip to Tulare to see his brother...think about it

 

[ragdollcatlady]

I do like sibling pairs ...... can I have a minute or 2 to consider?????

 

[babsbag]

Only a minute...

She isn't leaving anytime soon unless the people buying the buck this weekend decide they want her, but he is her sire so I kinda doubt it. Then again they may not even show up to get the buck either... They also don't get her for 1/2 price.

The ad on Craigslist is probably expired and I just haven't renewed it, too busy with other things.

Are you sure you don't need another buckling too? I can make you an awesome package deal. I have this really really sweet little guy that needs a home and I can't stand the thought of him ending up in someone's freezer. I do eat goat, but only ones that I know are destined for the freezer from the start. He was not, he was a bottle baby, his name is Rocky, and he adores me. Not sure that he will ever grow to by much of a buck but he is just plain sweet. I have thought about wethering him and keeping him as a pal for my Alpine buck.

I am supposed to get papers on him, and I probably can if I start hounding the breeder. She is a friend so I think she will come through with them. He is a fullblood I think, or maybe a purebred, I don't remember. His sire is WHG Perfect Alibi and if you Google that name you find pictures of his sire all over the place.

I would really like to get Bellinis sister....hopefully they will remember each other! Bellini is super mellow and in close running for favorite girl boer... Ravi has some serious competition!

I was thinking that I might want another buck after I have more Andy babies on the ground. I would want to upgrade to registered if I do that and I wasn't planning on looking for another year or 2. I bought Andy despite no papers because I am breeding for meat and the colors feed my need for eye candy! I don't suppose it would hurt to ask for pics and prices.....or maybe it would! LOL! Addictions are a terrible, terrible affliction!!!!

 

[babsbag]

I certainly agree that addictions are bad and I get the eye candy, that is how I got boers too. Let me see if I can get the papers on the buckling before we even think about that bridge

I am not sure that this little girl will be quite as mellow as her sister as I don't spend much time with her so she is a little skittish at times. Other times she is ok.

Here is a picture of the buckling at about 2 weeks. And oh yeah, he has horns. I don't have any current pictures, and he is about the same age and size as the doelings.

 

[happy acres]

He's beautiful!

 

[babsbag]

Yes, he is beautiful and SWEET. He about 7 months old and I gave my dog some milk the other day in a pan and Rocky wanted to drink it. I guess he still remembers that bottle.

 

[babsbag]

I am supposed to be getting his papers tomorrow. We'll see.
