Next up to kid will be two of our NMGA does that we bred to Merlot before he left for GA. Both are really putting on their udders.

HM Sassy, who can be due 5/31 and into June.

And also HM Emma, our Mini Silkie, who is probably due 6/23.

Of course I'm hoping for blue eyes and moonspots :). Sassy was bred to Merlot for her last freshening and had a solid black, blue eyed doeling...be interesting to see if we get a repeat or something a little flashier.

They are nice looking does! I really like the silky one. :love Can you please tell me what NMGA means? And why do these two have horns? I thought dairy goats were supposed to be disbudded? :idunno

NMGA is just a height registry for miniature goats. We register all our grade does with them.

Our entire original herd had horns when we bought them. And it's acceptable on Silkies. BUT - these are OLD photos of these girls, we've banded their horns off since, and plan to get new pics of them this summer sans pas horns ;)

I was busy moving the newest does to our herd into their appropriate pens now that they're done with quarantine/copper and BoSe boluses/etc...and checked out the herd Loud Mouth to see how she was progressing.

Might as well add Loud Mouth to the thread, she's got a udder coming on! I have her first possible due date to be 7/8/11 - so she should be due after Sassy and Emma.

(really, it's GK Flicka - who is bred to MCH Fire Flame)
