Shawnee kidded twin mahogany bucks :(

Yeah...so far I'm having better luck making my own spots, but only w/ % boers....these were my shot at fullblood dapples.

I have a red / wh dapple (bought, not born here) but I'm not sure she's going to make the cut. She's the same size as Nubians that are younger than her by 2 or 3 mos. Clean fecals, just not growing like a boer should.

I'm tellin' ya guys....these boys are red. Gonna have a darker dorsal stripe like Bullet did as a kid, but there are no spots / dapples / moonspots, etc. Freeney, Peyton, Moonie, etc....were born w/ their dapples.

Plus both are 4 teated....

The other side of the udder has a very small amount of colostrum now, but not the flow the other side has. The good news is both boys have full bellies so apparently they're sharing the 'good' teat.

Dang... I was hoping you'd see some spots....
I do like that color tho.... but yea what a let down.
Glad they are getting enough to eat, that has to be a relief...

Are you still thinking about buying Kung Fu?

Only if I can sell these boys. Right now I have 5 boer boys. My dh would kill me....

Just got home from the fair. It was a looong day and I just saw the kids......I am soooooo sorry even though they are cute it is not what you wanted I know. Hopefully you will get some from Payton and Reggie again this year.

Glad to hear mom and kids are healthy. Sorry about the spots. I know how disappointing it can be when breeding for color. I've read a lot, not about goats, but bunnies and it can be frustrating. That's why I'm sticking with Solids! LOL! But that also comes with disappointments I hear.

It happens. Don't give up on your spots!

Oh man, that's really a bummer.

Are those boys growing pretty well. I would think they are getting big. I know they might not be nice spotted ones but I wonder if they would produce some spotted kids?
