We are thinking about a new herd name for the Toggs
For those of you that don't know when we started with Nigerians we actually lived in a subdivision
We had a 1 1/2 acre lot and the back was about an acre woodlot
One Acre Farm was actually already taken so One Fine Acre was born
Catchy with Nigerians but doesn't seem to fit with Toggs
We are thinking 3 Farmers Brown
Need to decide soon

Edited
Our last name is Brown :)
I like it but it's kind of long. Is 3 Browns taken? I wish we wouldn't have put "farm" in our herd name just so we would have 5 more characters, and ours isn't really that long even with it. Then again, I know someone who had a VERY long herdname. Most of her goats had three letter names. LOL. I think her herdname was 19 characters. So I guess 3 Farmers Brown isn't really that long. And maybe the tattoo 3FB is even available? You could always go with Brown Toggs. I mean, they are all brown. :hide

Kool Air...more of a buck name imo. (I know you said Kool Breeze. You could do both and call him Kool and her Breezy...)

I’m not getting anywhere with farm names...

Maurine sold another buck kid today unregistered
He is one of Opals quads and takes a bottle
The quads will do that usually cause as good as Opal is doing they are just a little bit hungry
People live less than a half mile from us
Had no idea there were other goats that close.
They have 2 Nigerians and 2 Alpines I don't think any are registered
They also have a bottle Nubian buckling
So they are going to have an interesting goat herd

So Climate's doe kid has finally figured out he nursing thing. I think she got hungry Saturday. Maurine fed her at like 4:30 am because she had the farmer's market. And, I was busy until late in the day too.
Maurine woke me up at 4:30 Saturday and said she needed help. She was standing in the doorway holding a goat kid and said something was wrong with it.
Got in the kitchen and it's Opal's doe kid and the side of her head is covered in blood. It looked awful. I held her while Maurine cleaned her up. She was bleeding out the side of the cap where she was disbudded. Never had one bleed like that. She was fine.

Going to be breaking out the sign that @Bayleaf Meadows made for us from the great picture she took at last years Memorial Day show.
Hopefully, we may be able to add another finished champion to these 4 after this year.
