Upcoming kidding season at sweet Horizon minis-kidding season is over 7/7 bucklings born

Milked cami for the first time this morning. I got 1 and 3/4 cups from her with a 12 hour fill. I don't think that's terrible considering she is nursing triplets

She has poor fore udder attachment so I need to work on improving that with her kids : ) I also have to work on teat size...hers are soooo small very hard to milk. In this photo she does have one hind leg forward

Was finally able to get heights on my girls
Moonpie is 20.5 inches as a 3 year old
Cami is 19inches as a soon to be 6 year old
Aameerah is 18 inches was a year in Dec2017

I will measure my girls as soon as I can. Moonpie is the size of my buck. Do you think if I later bought a nigerian buck and mated him to my pygmy does there would be any problems in the birthing? I want more colors. Also Anna and her new doeling are light colored when looking at them but if you rub against their fur it is black underneath.

@MiniSilkys I don't Think there would be an issue however I am not the one to ask, I've only had my goats may will be a year (I'll tag some people but I know they are crazy busy right now so It may take a while for them to get back)

@Goat Whisperer @Southern by choice can anyone help minislkys with their question?

How big are the does?

Friends of ours breed their pygmies to Nigerian Dwarf bucks without issue.

I am going to measure them after this rain stops, hopefully tomorrow. My buck is 20 1/2 inches and the does are several inches shorter than him. So probably anywhere from 16 to 19 inches.
