Kinders Calling....
Last night when I was putting pictures up, the page wouldn't advance to 9 and I couldn't go no further.
So I shall proceed.
My big baby Jed. ( 1 year and 4 mo./ 120 lbs./ 26 in. ht. ). He is such a mommas boy.!!!
And one of Jed and Wyatte,
There.... now I'm all caught up. the only thing left is the girls barn ( Soon to be finished ) and I haven't got pics. of my Wyandotte Hens.
Sunday the 26 th. of Oct. I officially Started Breeding.!!
. Jed and Suzzy is my first, and I'm sure it took because they did it a few times. I already know my girls cycles and can plan from there. Mid. November I'll try Wyatte with Hazel.

Well its official. My Suzzy is preg. She would have gone in heat ( Fri & Sat ) and not a peep out of her.
Luckily My 3 girls are very vocal and with all the body movements, and small leakage. I've counted 18 days from day1 of started heat ( 2 days ) too the next started heat day. Sooo, 2 days in heat and then again in 16 days. When I took Suzzy to Jed on day one of her heat, she stuck by me and wasn't having Jed so I tried her on day 2 of her heat and what a difference. She was ready !! So now I know to wait until day 2 of heat.
Hazel and Wyatt's breed date; Nov. 26, the same day as Suzzy, their for Suzzy will be 1 mo. preg.

Well today marks Suzzy's 1 mo. preg... Just like clock work, Hazel and Amy went into heat first thing this morning. I tried Hazel and Wyatt together, not confident they got the job done, Hazels 1 st. day , so I'll try them again tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day.
Amy !?!? Well back in Aug. I called my friend ( the woman who started raising Kinders 20 min. away from me)(this year also) I remembered her saying (although she wanted me to not do back yard breeding and didn't want anything to do with either of my bucks (though she never saw any of my goats) ) She did say she would breed my does. Well when I talked to her she said that she didn't want to hurt my feelings, then said oh heck yes I will, and proceeded to tell me of how my property looked like a dump / it was no place for goats / and that she would be afraid of her goats catching something. Apparently a ''(Drive by)'' , Is a justifiable way to deem someone unworthy to be having goats, even to be passing any Judgment of any kind. Even after all that, I said why didn't you stop.?? I could have showed her my babies/ showed her all the projects going on and still to come, she would have seen that my garden beds had weeds because my new Goats and Chickens were my first priority. Heck she might of liked me.
I just thought that 2 people with something in common could connect. With all her experience = being a mentor to a newbie.
.
I just wanted some different genes in my mix, so that next springs babies would be able to mate.
She also said she doesn't think she will even breed or stud anything that came from me...............
So It looks like I'll be taking another long trip to spice up my gene pool this spring.
.
She Will Not dictate my out come......

Good for you! She doesn't sound like the type of person who makes a good mentor, no matter how experienced she may be.
ps - it's spelled 'genes'....

Kinder this made me not only sad but it made my heart break for you! 
I have met a few arrogant goaties like that. First impressions are not always favorable. I went to a farm once and was mortified... BUT I called another breeder that knew the breeder... in the back of my mind I thought wow rough year on every farm lots of bad things happening and wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. After calling the other breeder it WAS what I had expected... just a terrible year with multiple issues all at one time.
Recently another breeder was commenting on a ladies farm and how there was junk and blah blah blah and how those people should not own goats. LOL YET the same breeder had a bunch of goats overcrowded and walking in poop and every goat had a FAMACHA of D-4.... It kinda made me shake my head I didn't say much but after a bit I told the lady how on our property we are still cleaning up junk and how much erosion we have had in the past few years I sure hope the health and care of my goats would speak louder than the mess I am dealing with. She got very quiet.
Ultimately every farm goes through growing stages and we all have to deal with environmental factors. Some have $$$$ they can throw at the wind and have evreything "perfect", some, limited funds and do as they can.
I wonder if she scoped you out because she thinks of you as the "competition". Which is kind of silly. When you have a heart for what you do and you care about the people it is far better to have someone to refer to. We refer out where we can. We don't breed a lot of goats at one time so of course we would refer out.
I am glad you will not let it discourage you! She sounds arrogant and arrogance is nothing but a sign of insecurity. Your heart and your passion and your love of your goats shines through!
I work with my county and I go to a lot of goat farms and no matter how humble or luxurious the people that have the love for goats always do far better than those that use their goats as a status symbol. LOL ya'll probably have the same lines

Shaking my head..
. Me I have had people come over and I have a habit of apologizing before hand about my set up. Letting people know right up front that it is a work in progress. I am delightfully surprised when I find that people are impressed with my little farm. Your right not to let a rotten apple spoil the whole bushel. Keep moving forward. We can tell you love your goats.
