A lot of crying around here tonight
We separated Clara Belles two bucklings
They are hanging out with the big boys
Actually afraid one may have bred one of our yearlings
She is ok to breed and not a bad match but wasn't the plan
I hope he didn't get the job done and if so we think we know which one but would have to do DNA testing to know for sure if we were going to register them

Like I said in my last post, we had to separate Clara Belles bucklings, they are 12 weeks old. The crying has settled down.
One of them is going to Ohio in June. Haven't decided for sure on the other buckling.

Wouldn't normally be selling a buckling from a first freshener, but I'm actually giving this guy to the people in Ohio. They lost one of mine in a fire this year.

But anyway, you can tell from these pictures that Clara Belle for a first freshener has done a great job. These guys are horses :ep

So, looking at those two guys and you understand why we haven't seen ClaraBelles udder with any milk in it for a long time.
Super excited about this first freshener. Her mom is Zamia our best girl, and it appears that ClaraBelle has the same udder. Of course, not the capacity of her mom at this point, but the shape and super teats her mom has.
In this picture she was only about 8 hours full, and still kind of stressed over moving the kids.
But, I think you can see what I mean.:love

Florida- land of the endless parasites
She looks nice! And those babies are big. :weee

I had to band Caspian (Orchid's last baby here) at 10 weeks. He was getting very serious with the girls. Of coarse our huge 11 week Lamancha doeling told him how it was in no uncertain terms, but we have a 6 week old girl too. I already have a deposit on him as a pet and his brothers are both gone to their new homes and the other babies are younger and need to be with mom, so there was really no where to separate him with other babies. That, and I'm enjoying not milking 6 goats at night. (I'm milking 6 in the morning and 2 at night.)
