Picked up my spotted buck today:) New Pictures:)

[autumnprairie]

he is neat looking are you near Arkansas, I might be interested in him after you are done and I won't eat him, do you know more about him like his milking line?

 

[Missy]

I have been told he comes from an excellent milking line. I am located in NY so it is a bit off from AK

I spend half my day watching my goats so catching the breeding shouldn't be too hard--. I have been watching them lately even more and they should go back into heat the 6th and 7th You know how it goes though. I am also wonder if since this will be my girls first time with a buck(other than when they were kids) If it wont trigger something-lol.

Knowing goats, it wouldn't surprise me even in the least if they both come in heat on Friday, are done by Sunday and I have to wait until January to breed them

i have a doe who looks just like him, they would make good looking babies!!!

I will be driving to Maine this summer to see family.

 

[Missy]

I am sure he will be here still then . Hopefully my goats will go by their breed standards of seasonal heat cycles-which they probably wont And starting in spring I can get him cleaned up and keep him that way .

You see the way I have it figured is that my girls are each going to give birth to twins. Willow, my Saanen, will have 2 beautiful Spotted does. Tippy, my Oberhasli, will have 1 beautiful Spotted Doe and 1 handsome spotted Buckling. Both will come in heat at exactly the same time(Both on Sunday 12/4). They will breed that day and in exactly 150 days my kids will be born. Both does will independently kid with no problems. They will have the kids at 10am. It will be a bright, warm day. Everyone will be very happy to see the new kids.

Then I woke up.

dreams do come true you know, as long as you don't own goats.

 

[Missy]

I brought him home a few hours ago, and between the goat web cam(that we all are watching) and watching him with the girls, I have done absolutely nothing today

Obviously they are not in heat today He has been trying his best but is getting no where He runs towards them, they run away. He is particularly interrested in Willow who allowed him to mount her....briefly...once... Here are some pictures of them in their daytime yard

Pretty colors...

 

[Missy]

Anyone know the odds of me getting spotted kid(s)...

I feel bad for Willow. Tippy is the head goat. He went near her, she reared up and prepared to get him, so he walked away from her...Poor Willow has been taking all of his chasing like a champ

He is very handsome.
