:barnieThe girls wanted to start introducing themselves and show off their baby bumps. First onse are due end of January, so this is a little premature, with most of them due in February and first half of March, and 4 or 5 due in April and May.

Going to be a long kidding season. This year we started out using two young bucks. So the majority of the does are bred to them. We decided we didn't really like either one of them all that much and it was time to step up and improve our genetics. So we took a trip and purchased two more bucks. So there are 5 to 7 hopefully bred to these young bucks. Time will tell. With the first one being due 3rd week of february.

Time for the girls to say hello:

Hello: We are Tina(grey) and Pippi(tan). We are 9 years old and 50% boer/50% nubian. Hope you enjoy meeting the girls in our herd.

due starting the end of January

this is my daughter Lorily, you met her in another picture with Nova. She is going on 5 or 6 years old and is 75%boer/nubian. bred september 25th. Due near the end of February.

This is my granddaughter, Galloway, and daughter to Lorily. She is 88%boer/12nubian and due beginning of february. Yes, she gets huge. Triplets the last two times she kidded, she is going on 4 years old, but both times she had a deformed kid and needed assisting kidding. This will be her last kidding season with us, if things don't go better.

Dancer is looking rather round, and due beginning of February, she is 5 years old full-blood. We purchased her a year ago. And her full-blood buckling, born last October is being used as one of our herd sires, and is bred to several of the does.

Here he is 4 months old. "TWISTER"

He is needing some work right now. I am sad to say he got really run down after breeding and we are now working on getting him back in shape.

Here he is at a 12 months old, and in the sick pen, He is recovering, but will take some time.

You couldn't ask for a doe to hold up better over the years. Her legs, her udder, never has had a problem kidding. Hasn't been wormed since last fall(2010). Her biggest down fall as a doe in a meat goat herd is she eats a lot to maintain her 180lbs. I have other does that eat a quit a bit less.

I hope I get a girl from her this year, and she has twins, she only had a single last time. She was pretty big then, also. And he was 12.5lbs. Poor thing pushed and pushed.
