Nope I haven't picked him out yet AP 
I'm going Monday after work to check on them and I'm hoping I get to handle them. There are solid white one and ones with big brown spots (Badger?) and the owner said the colorful ones were the more popular, but I'm really leaning towards a white one. I'll get some pics Monday evening and get them loaded.
We had some goat "activities" yesterday - Bruno bred Angie - or at least I'm hoping he bred her. He mounted her about 6 times, but this is both their first time breeding so we'll see.
Vegas has tried getting Fudge, but I don't know if it's because Vegas doesn't know what he's doing (he's over a year) or if it's because Fudge is so tall, but he'll mount her and then fall backyard - likes he falling off.
He bred her 9-29 several times, but then this past Sunday (10-6) he kept trying to mount her again (although this past weekend she wasn't willing). So I'm hoping this means the 9-29 breeding took?

it's Monday, you can put a box or a tire he can stand your doe will back up for him most times
that she is bred.

I believe they are 27 days old today. So a couple more weeks . . . I'm also putting deposits down on two new doelings that are due in December and selling my Emma. My girls are just so mean to her and she will be going to a great home. May be selling Fudge after she kids, we'll just have to see.
Attending a meeting Saturday of the ETGRA and it was so informative. Scott Horner put on a presentation about dairy stuff. It was so great.

Hi Everyone!!!!!! Chunky Dunk is back!!!!!
I have missed the heck out of y'all!!!
Lots has happened with us (and I see the website too). I was fired February 12. It was bad, but a blessing. No one was really surprised, I had been unhappy quite awhile. I've been home for a couple of months now and just now starting to feel it. I've been soooo busy. I really need to get a job so I can get some rest
Our Great Pyr "George" is doing well. I've made a few mistakes with him, but I'm learning. As I'm sitting here on the new laptop (which I'm still trying to figure out how to use) I see he and his partner in crime Rex (who was supposed to be a Shepherd/Boxer mix, but appears to be a St. Bernard mix) have figured out a way out of the goat fence and are now at the back door.
I have applied at the Post Office as the Post Master is a friend and says he wants me in his office. We'll see how that turns out. I have qualified for unemployment so we are getting a little and Richard (other half) is working with a good company so that helps too.
There is so much to update y'all on - but I'll probably get around to it in the next couple of days - if I don't bash this laptop first
Garden is doing well. Not as well as I'd hoped but better than last year. Between the rain we got after planting and the dogs getting in, a lot of the seed was destroyed, but I think we'll have a decent turn out. A few radishes have already been picked. Beets are looking good. There is also potatoes, okra, collards, green beans, cukes, squash, tomatoes, peppers (not doing so well) and a few others. My brother has planted a HUGE garden in the front of my property. Probably takes up 1/3 of an acre. Last he counted he had 150+ squash plants and the same in cukes and beans. He has a good amount of corn and then I have more potatoes and onions up there.
Been taking care of Grannie since I've been off. Getting her back and forth to drs appointments and nurse visits. She's got 2 appointments on the 8th so I'm hoping we'll finally get some answers to some of the issues she's had for quite awhile.
Well, I think this is enough for now I'm glad I'm back on and hope everyone is doing well. I haven't had time to check all of the journals yet, but hopefully in the next week or two, I'll be able to get caught up.
Oh, and I am finally able to order the materials for the bedroom add-on. Hopefully the material will come in before this Friday so we can get started!! Super stoked about that.
Oh and there is a dairy goat show in Brenham on the 24th if anyone wants to enter or come out and watch!
