Well my Alpine doe, Mocha, that hasn't settled in 4 years got bred this year. Every year I throw her in with the bucks every time she is in heat just to keep her quiet and never worry about which buck breeds her as I know she won't settle. She comes into milk every summer without being bred so she was a keeper.

I really wanted a doeling from her to carry on the line. She kidded today and she got the girl memo...HOWEVER...she DID NOT get the alpine memo as she gave me a 50/50 LaMancha doeling. Better than a LaMancha buckling but it won't do much to carry on her line. But she should milk to beat the band when she grows up.

Glad you got your doe, but sorry it wasn't exactly what you wanted. Mother Nature sure doesn't always cooperate with us, does she?

My LGD, Sigueme, is missing tonight. I let the goats and dogs into the new land and as the goats cleared the fence line Sig found a gap and out she went. We didn't know where she was, figured she was on the land somewhere so DH told me to get the shotgun and fire it and she would come to the barn...she is terrified of guns. So I did as he suggested and then I saw her running down our road full speed ahead. She did not head for the barn, she took off. I searched for hours and no Sig. Please pray that she comes home and stays away from coyotes and off of the highway.

Oh no! I am so so sorry! Many prayers that she comes home soon. I know the sinking feeling of them being missing and unfortunately, I also know the pain that comes with when they get hit by a car.

I really hope she finds her way home safe.
