May went back to her farm that she came from last night. We got her out of the crate and she took off at a trot to the dairy barn, up the chute and waited at the gate like she never left. Totally relaxed. Something she has not been since leaving the farm. She did pick a fight with the head goat that caused a bit of a stir with the rest but from the sounds of it things have mellowed out and she will fit right back in there. Tilda was very uneasy that we took May away but as soon as Scarlet was put back in with her she was fine again. Olive had to be pulled from the growing aggression towards her from May and when I pulled Olive, May shifted her aggression to Scarlet so then Scarlet had to be pulled. Everyone is happy again in our herd.

It was sure quiet without May running the fence screaming and jumping up and breaking things along with destroying the fence.... Everyone even got to eat in peace not tied up.

So. Something amazing came up. A good friend of mine found an add for nubians and shared with me. I called the lady and the only registered doe was spoken for but told me I'd be next in line. Said that I wanted a doeling for sure. She called me back an hour later and said the sale fell through as the lady couldn't afford her anymore. I took her and passed on the doeling. All I knew was she was registered. In milk. 5 years old with a niiiice udder. Milks over gallon and a half a day on one a day milking while holding back. Had triplets this year. She looked skinny but was clean and tested as such. My friend even drive to get her for me and we just picked her up and are headed home. She's skinny but with some tlc she'll gain it back with me. Meet citrine. Turns out. She has her superior genetics certificate and is a 1*M.
