Sunny day after a big snow storm

Caught this pictures this morning while walking the goats... Check out Jac (spotted Boer)'s expression when Cody (Alpine) jumped on his back to reach for higher branches...

Gosh, I am in love with your spotted boer! I don't get to see any like him in my neck of the woods! Can you tell me about the other goat to the very left... another spotted boer?

Beautiful picture of a nice sunny day... I can't say I'm envious about your snowfall however!

Yes, that's Walter...he is also a dappled boer. I love colored boers and feel so lucky to have found a few breeders in my area. I will be getting another one this summer. If all goes well, a black dappled.

It is really not that bad with the snow. We moved to CO couple years ago from CA and learn that March and April are their snowiest month. We had got a foot last week and another foot yesterday. Just wonderful! You'd think I am dealing with two feet of snow but...last week's snow had mostly melted before this new snow.

I want a black dappled ABGA buck I have a brown one that I am going to breed to a black doe and but without looking at her papers I am pretty sure that any buckling would not be high enough % to register so I am hoping she has does.

Do you buy from Little Creek Ranch?

I want a black dabbled ABGA buck I have a brown one that I am going to breed to a black doe and but without looking at her papers I am pretty sure that any buckling would not be high enough % to register so I am hoping she has does.

Do you buy from Little Creed Ranch?

Jac and Walter are from Little Creek Farm in Lyons. The breeder is my mentor now. My next boer will be from Capricious Ventures Boers in Boulder. CVB has a 99% black dappled buck...just born Saturday night. Cute kid. I am looking for pets so I keep my eyes open for a wether...I am crossing my fingers for a black dappled wethers. Othewise, there is a nice deep brown dapple I'll get.

When I first looked for a spotted buck I talked with the breeder from Lyons and she was extremely helpful explaining percentages to me and how you could register a percentage doe but not a percentage buck. It was very confusing at first. Now I am quickly approaching a point where my does are all offspring of my buck so I need to find a new one. This part of raising goats just kills me but when you are trying to get a specific trait and hang on to it it is a necessary evil. I would like to find a black spotted one this time, but they aren't that common.

I can't believe how much people are willing to pay for registered spotted boers and yes, black spotted is harder to find.. A few years back, red spotted was rare...but the black gene doesn't seem as easily bred out as red. Someone here in CO is selling three black dappled...but they are commercial. http://denver.craigslist.org/grd/3738199277.html I am crossing my fingers...I hope I get a black dapple this time. Good luck to you also.
