Half Nubian and Half Nigerian Doelings!

Yesterday morning I got my first half Nubian half Nigerian kids. Twin doelings!

I am thrilled. Gina is the brown and white, very Nigie -looking girl with brown eyes, and Lola is black and white with...BLUE eyes!

Their sire is Herron Hill CJ Blackberry. He's a darling black and white boy with blue eyes.

CAE/CL Negative

The boys are ready to work and all tested this year- CAE & CL negative and lookin' handsome!

Farmers Do Their Own Vetting...

Barbosa was a good boy today. He got attacked my a scary monster that made alot of noise and "ate" the hair off of his throat...then he had some nasty "poison" syringed down his gullet. Not to even mention the needle that sucked his blood...makes you wonder what goes thru their poor minds sometimes.

Today the bucks got their blood drawn for CAE & CL testing, and they got wormed. Getting ready for breeding season and winter! Much thanks to April and her Dad and boyfriend- couldn't have done it without ya! But I bet you could have done it without me!

The Rut- Stinky Buck Season!

How could such sweet baby blue eyes match up to this little character? He may be small, but he's wooing the big girls. The Nubians might not mock this little Nigerian this year.

Don't buck goats look like werewolves? I think so. They go from cute, beyond darling little sweet babies to hormonal monsters.

Welcome Lucy!

Lucy with Daddy. Daddy had shoulder surgery so he actually gets to be home for the entire fall season and some of winter. He and Lucy really bonded.

I got a new milker today. Two year old Lucy. She's a sweetie. OUr herd is all young does right now, since we sold almost everybody last year, so Lucy didn't have to get beat up to get "initiated" in...good for her!

She'll be bred to Handsome Rob. Pearl to Barbosa, and maybe Glory to Barbosa as well. Peach will be bred to Blackberry my Nigerian Dwarf buck. (he's a blue-eyed, handsome dude)
