I put all of those pics of Clarabelle and her kids so you could see there size in relation to her
She is one of our smaller does we have

Feeling blessed tonight

So far Raven, Blondie, Pearl and Dee have kidded
All 4 of them and all of their kids are sold

A lady on the coast of NC is going to buy Dee, her 2 doe kids and Goldilocks who is Dee"s yearling doeling
She makes soap and lotion for a farmers market and has goats but needs more milk
We had agreed to a per doe price but when Dee had 2 does it hit a pain point for them so to take all we tweaked that price some

We were contacted by someone in the western part of the state who had been talking to some of the local farms and said they were looking goats that wouldn't break the bank
I knew exactly what they meant
Some folks think because you own some champions all of your goats are worth $600 each
So we made them a deal.on Raven, Blondie, and Pearl with all of their kids
We are only charging them for the does (6 total counting the moms and kids) and the 4 boys as un-registered wethered are free
That's 14 goats gone :bow

It is so hard to let them go, but you reach that point where you just have to make another family very happy with GOATS!

Even though it is raining cats and dogs, we don't have mud. The sheep lot is a little sloppy, but no mud. I might gripe about my beach sand, but not when everybody else is ankle to knee deep in sloppy mud.
