SBC/GW's Journal- Spring shows DONE! & Update

[Southern by choice]

Well one of my LMs that I luted and aborted went into heat twice after I did that and I bred her on the second time. Thought that was the end of that. Today she got bred by my mini Alpine. It is what it is.

LOL I guess she likes who she likes.

Bingo is in heat today (Mini) she will be bred to Charlie(Std)- Bingo is a big girl even though she is a 50/50. That is why she can handle the standard. This will give me 75/25's which I need.

Well, this wasn't exactly the planned exciting breeding but I put a call out today and it all worked out. We are

We are very excited and we are truly blessed. Our good friend from My Little Red Tractor Farm graciously allowed a service breeding to our lovely doe Raina. We feel very honored as they do not do outside breedings, nor do we. This is an exception for the both of us! Our breeder friend is just as excited about this breeding as we are!

Caesar at an early age is becoming quite an accomplished buck. In the 4th quarter of 2017, Caesar qualified for the ADGA young sire development program! He has an impressive yearling score of VVV 86, and is Alpha s1 Casein tested A/F. He has two daughters in the MLRT herd, resulting in 3 GCH and 2 RCH wins as jr does.
His twin sister, (MLRT Victoria) earned her dry leg in spring 2017. She has since gong on to score VVEE 89 when she was appraised earlier this year as a YEARLIMG milker! Victoria has also been quite competitive in the show ring, going RCH at the Dixie Classic fair. Victoria, as a yearling milker has met all her requirements for her *M designation in Volume, butter Fat, and protein.
Caesar's dam, Tempo Kim 10*M, is a doe we have admired for sometime. At nearly nine years old. This doe is incredibly strong, we particularly love the strength of her feet and legs for a doe of her age.
Caesar's sire is SGCH Lucky*Star's QK Pinnacle 93 EEE, an incredible buck who is the sire to many SG and SGCH does.

Our lovely doe Raina (Ripples Rhapsody Spring Reign) is especially dear to us out of SG Candlelight Secret Intention 8*M & Candlelight QL Gentleman. Raina has done quite well for us in the ring as a junior doe and as a first freshening two year old has been very competitive in her age class, has earned a leg toward her championship, received several Best Udder of Breed and has been part of our first place dairy herd at the Dixie Class Fair, NRV Fair and was part of our 2nd place Dairy herd at the NC State fair. Raina has been an incredibly productive doe for us, easily meeting the requirements in Butter Fat, Protien, and Volume to earn her *M designation as well as qualifying for Advanced Registry. We feel Raina has an incredible mammary system and love the width and height of her udder. Unfortunately we missed LA 2018 but look forward to 2019.

Tiffany has 2 milking legs toward her CH, her dry legs did not count due to numbers in class. She has excelled at every show she has been in.
She is a FF 2YO and has met all requirement for her volume, butterfat, protein to recieve her *M designation and qualifies for Advanced Registry.

WOW! Caesar is a very handsome dude. I love his brown socks. Interesting color combination. But one very well dressed young man.

I am hoping we get a roan kid. That is always so much fun when they kid and you get to see what colors come out!

That would be pretty. I’m learning a little bit about goat colorings. I’m learning to appreciate some of the various yet different color combinations. I’m not fond of the muted colors. I love the variety of coloringings

Colors sure can be fun! They are more important in the pet market though. Seriously, you could have a dud of a goat, meaning terrible conformation, incorrect in every way lol but if it is flashy people will want it. Oh, and if it has blue eyes people go gaga. I love brown eyes so it works out for us.

Really nothing wrong with it but people that are breeding to improve and keep good genetics care less about color, eye color etc.
Some really look for polled goats because less disbudding. We search for polled years ago. Now, I don't want polled at all but I get why people do.

Colors are fun though and at one time I thought wow... I have a lot of black goats, I don't want a whole herd of black goats... but I ended up with a whole herd of black goats and LOVE the black goats. Still, color is fun fun fun!

Are your baby boys all similar in color? I know Alpines have a lot of pattern/colors. I think Alpines are very beautiful goats.

Well great! Now you know you are going to get only bucklings from those two!

Joking of course! Well, I hope anyways Beautiful does! and Caesar looks incredible! The kids should be absolutely incredible! Can't wait to see the outcome!

Rita has a brick for a head....with similar listening habits (JK)
She is fine.

Rita would rather snooze on the rainy days.

I love that face! She cracks me up!

Looking at the pedigree you posted...Kastdemurs and Tempo...somethings there are no escaping. When I was looking for an Alpine buck a few years ago it took a lot of work our here in CA to find one that was not Tempo or Redwood Hills; they certainly have the corner on the market.
