Our New Nubian Buckling :)

I saw that earlier, I wasn't sure if I wanted her to know

Thanks @OneFineAcre

I am doomed. I am also thankful.
Having so many great goat enthusiasts around me sure does make it interesting.

Me: No more goats
Me: Well maybe a few more of the right goats
Me: Sigh
Me: picks up phone calls about said goats
Me to DH: Honey we need to go pick up a few goats
DH: SIGH- How much do I get out of the bank and where do I need to go?

GW: Acts completely innocent
OFA: Hey I just thought I'd pass on the info.

Me again: ------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh
And I'm messaging someone now about a Sannen or 50/50 for you now

How about this
Your youngest needs to start her show herd
2 Yearlimg Sannens already bred to
a Nubian buck
Very nice herd both Sannens and Recorded Grades
Started with really good Sannens because Chris at SS will really help you out and doesn't mind being beaten by her own animals
$350 each

Nice nubian kid!

And then you have the home grown 4h or FFA goat trying to compete against the big guns that spend 1000s on a goat and it really takes all of the fun out of it. Many times it is all about money and what you can afford. I know someone that was raising Toggs and losing to the same breeder every time so she switched to Nubians, got daddy to buy her a $1000 goat and now she wins. Money ...

I am excited to be getting some of our better quality animals into 4H kids hands for reasonable prices. I am not thrilled with the quality of the average market boers available here and I saw 2 goats at the county fair that clearly had $$$ behind them swoop the game .... This year hopefully, our goats will be going to some 4H kids and maybe they will give that money a run for it!

I like hooking up kids with nice show quality nigerian does/doe kids that I know will compete well. I am hoping to hook the next generation of goat addicts early by sharing nice stock so they can get excited about winning .

Back in July we happened to be at our vets office, during the visit our vet asked if we were still looking for a buck. Long story short we made the trek out to Frog Flat Farms and brought home "Olaf".

We are in LOVE! He is a big baby... and I mean a baby!

Here he is last month at 5 months old. Just arrived home!

@Goat Whisperer can tell you how silly he is. TRULY the biggest baby we have ever had on our farm!

Frog Flat Farm was Premier Nubian Breeder at NC Mountain State Fair

We have been trying to follow everyone... GW is at R's place taking care of her goats... she is tracking everyone.
Don't know how she did yet.

I did see some pics... So happy for them! (Frog Flat)
Funny - I was cleaning out some folders and saw I had their number from 2 years ago...

You know the buck I sent you pics of? His dam was 1st in 5yr old and up and his half sister did.... ok I can't remember now.
It was her first show and we are so happy for her! Her young does did well too.

I just had the biggest scare... one of the kids came in and said one of the baby boys was out.

ISAAC!

The bottom chain wasn't on the bottom of the gate and he pushed it open. Thank goodness he knows where the people are and the hay bale!
AND it was all of what had to be under a minute because their water bucket had just gotten refilled. The hose was still running.
I guess GW and I will need to put a board up so it can't get pushed out even if the chain isn't on.
