How big are they? We aren't breeding ours yet, still too young imo and want to see a little more weight.... if we breed either for minis we will wait til Dec.... they will be 9-10 months
What's their weight?

I’ll try to get weights on them tonight. Can’t find the paper that had their last weights. I’ll also try to get some pics next to something that gives you an idea of their size for scale.

The red girls are out of a different line from the breeder we work with... totally different.
I have never seen lamancha kids this wide with spacing that just leaves your jaw dropped. The reds are different!
I will give you a good example, I got this pic.
The one is Dancing Queen next to Allure. DQ was born March Allure was born May!
DQ is growing beautiful, a bit smaller than her sister Trudy and right on target weight, width, all around size.

Now that is a crazy difference! :ep:ep:ep
There is NO fat, that is why you can see the outline of the ribbing.
They are so different than any lamancha we have had. We are glad to have this line in. All Candlelight still but different.
The red girls don't care what it is they will eat it, they are like vacuums.
The judge giggled when he put his hands on Allure. Said he LOVES the feel of this goat. She was the one he had the dilemma with. Scorecard really would have had that pretty dry yearling GCH but he felt that Allure was what a real dairy goat is. A producer and she will be one. The breeder we got them from (all our foundation does have come from her) can really breed a great animal.
They won't get bred til next year but I can't wait! Now, to find the right buck. :\

Afraid it was time for a renewal on the dye job there SBC? ;) I gather GW is tired of hearing about the potential for a white hair on your head.

White hair happens, prepare yourself emotionally for the inevitable (unless one loses their hair instead). I found my first white one at 26 I think. SLOWLY they invaded. Now many more white ones than black ones on my head. But it is a clear black/white thing.

LOL Bruce I don't dye my hair. The sun does lighten my hair in the summer. Always looks weird when winter comes.
No way would I go through all that nonsense. I see women do that every 6 week thing to cover the roots and I'm like :eek:. I guess if a person has dark hair that makes sense.

My health issues aged me by 15 years... my hair is all I got. :lol: Gold Strawberry blonde and wantin' it to stay that way. :p

Nah, GW was worried something was wrong. Already a rough morning and she was stressed.

Rita, when she really wants to play will sneak up and take the sock off your foot.
Here I am minding my own business. Sitting sideways on the couch doing a crossword puzzle.
I haven't don't a crossword puzzle in ages, I just happened upon the book of puzzles as I was moving books off a bookshelf.
I though Oooo I am gonna do a puzzle! :D
And there I was, doing my puzzle.
Rita comes up and grabs my sock. :oops:
I am like... noooo Rita :p
Rita
Rita
Rita noooooooooooooooooooooo
as she turns my body sideways taking my sock
She now has my sock dangling from her mouth , tail wagging, lets play mommy :cool:
She doesn't eat the sock she just shakes it and wants me to chase her
I stand up real slow, staring at her
Put my puzzle book down
Remove my reading glasses
Slowly I start to lean down
She is staring up at me as she crouches the front of her body down butt wigglin'
She, as I am about to "get " her, jumps up
Her HUGE HARD NOGGIN COLLIDES WITH MY NOSE! :th
.
.
.
Straight on, not under- straight into my NOSE!
I am hit with the most excruciating pain. I heard the CRUNCH!
Instant PAIN!
I can't breathe, can't talk. Fall back on the couch and then get out a "MY NOSE"!
I think she broke my nose!
I am now crying, the bones under my eyes hurt, my head hurts, my NOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hit:hit:hit
I keep saying to my husband THE PAIN, oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh:ep:ep:ep
GW gets Rita out of the room because Rita is very upset and doesn't understand
Someone runs for ice
GW is clearly worried for me but we have that bizarre humor and she says do I need to give you a shot of banamine? :lol:
Of course that makes me laugh but I am still crying and it hurts to laugh. :smack
DH is laughing. Says, yeah, your face is gonna hurt. :smack
Son says looking at your face already makes me hurt. :smack
:rolleyes:
:rolleyes:
:rolleyes:
So many comedians! :mad:
So I can feel my face. It hurts. My nose... I cannot feel my nose. Weirdest thing ever. :idunno:idunno:idunno

Moral of this story.
I am getting too old to play with dogs. :lol::lol::lol:
