Did not bump/bounce her last night. I was just too emotionally wore out.
I will look at Trouble tis am. It could be she is just fat too... she NEVER stopped eating her alfalfa the whole time. Seriously!
It was sooooo cold last night too! Damp wet chill you to the bone kinda cold.
So our first f-2 mini is a buckling... believe me I checked several times.. danglies are still there
He has erect ears (not uncommon on a f-2) his face is less dished which is good! His color is gorgeous! His weight was good 5lbs exactly. He got his blue eyes from his momma.
A shame I cannot register him. But it is fine. I will watch him over the next month or so and see if he will be sold or freezer meat.
The sire has great genetics and my dam although she is a FF her dam is our best milker on the farm. Trouble's sire improves udder attachment and we can clearly see that now that she is in milk.
Her colostrum was not as thick as Katies but still very thick.. interesting.
Just because he is unregistered doesn't mean I don't want quality ... he has some great genetics behind him.
Here he is... I will get better pics... soon I hope!
This is Percy his Sire (registered)
Percy's sire (Reg) he is a brown red with moonspots

This is his granddam- Troubles mom and that is trouble as a baby
Wow! SBC, I thought I caught up yesterday but totally missed this thread. Talk about a roller coaster ride. You must be exhausted emotionally as well as physically. Prayers and cyber-hugs.
Sorry about Your friend. I dont know what it is right now, but my life is an emotional roller coaster too. I promise you are not alone. So completely draining. I keep trying to focus on all the new life and Pray for healing of my heart for the loss. I pray the same for you <3
I am one of those people that love blue eyed goats Your 3 babies are beautiful! It's a good thing you and I don't live close together. I would be buying a puppy or 2, and a goat or 2. DH would be doing this a lot but I would be and Your buck is gorgeous.
So they are in the playpen! All pulled this year and I am LOVING IT!
We are prepping a new area but work and weather are not cooperating! Hopefully they will be in a stall soon. When it is nice out they go out in a pen on the porch.
They play with the stuff on the playpen it is so funny!
The new mini is in there too! Hate having singles... but since they were pulled it will be good he will bond with his buddies.
