As far as your girls (does) really think about that taking a year off. They were designed to breed yearly... you can run into issues by skipping a year. Some does may not take again, or have issues.
It is different if they were bred and didn't settle....
My thought process was I would breed them next September october, when I normally breed, as this is their second crop of kids this year. I know a lot of people who own NDs get two crops of kids s year from their does, and I dont so much mind that with the younger girls, but the older girls, Id like to give that break to and not do it. That is, unless that causes cycstic issues.
Dot
I expect she will drop twins, but hoping for triplets from this lovely FF. Already impressed with her udder, due soon.
Lavender
So happy she has recovered so incredibly well from her extreme copper deficiency that caused her to go BALD in 3 days. Youd never know it now. It feels like that half that didnt function in January may make a small recovery. Still a wiley broad... her kid, Mable, went to a home with my friend after the does took after her and her lamb friend. The lamb didnt make it. She is suuuuper small, so would never have been able to be in my breeding program. Is in a pet home and i get to see her on occasion.
Poplar
My curvy gal, and my favorite. So incredibly friendly and happy. I love, Love, LOVE this old lady.
Daisy (Left) and Rose (Right)
I think Daisy is pregnant, havent caught her cycling and Painter was running with her the same time lavender was in heat. Its possible I missed it, no odea when she would be due.
Rose, her daughter from Pholia Farm UB Pendelton, is a gorgeous girl, and will be bred to Simon this fall for next years kids! Hoping for some plentiful colour. Just love her, super friendly and petite like her mom.
Oakley (Left) and Simon (Right)
We decided to keep Oakley over Wendle. Wendel found a home with a VERY well to do owner in BC, and will be the primary breeders in her unregistered herd. Lucky boy. Oakley is lovely though, meatier with excellent growth, very level, good feet. No white poll. Has some white flecking throughout. Simon, our blue eyed beauty, is growing well and is also very level, great feet, and incredibly friendly. Looking forward to his first kids next year.
Glad things are working out well with the goats. Thanks for stopping by with an update. We miss you around here yaknow...
Happy to hear life is treating you well and blessing you even if that is keeping you busy 
Hope to hear more from you soon
