First of the month... my lil goat herd..


Subject: My Goat Herd

I'm gonna try to update about my goats around the 1st of the month.  
Hope you enjoy reading about them


 Star is due in February (bred to Ringo)
Tulip is due in March (bred to Ringo)
* 2013 kids will be Kinder/Nubain

I'm buying a 2013 doeling thats due in January from  my friend Julie over at Our TN Adventure   she also started a new website Russell's Ridge Nubains also when I'm ready to bred Cocoa I really want to bred her to Welker who lives at Russell's Ridge Nubian Farm, take a peek at him, hes beautiful and they would make beautiful babies. 

Then my other friend Stephanie over at Buttered Bread Homestead will by buy 2013 kids from me to get her lil goat herd started... I'm so excited over all of this!

The girls love their hay... yum, yum, yum

Cant wait to see their sweet babies...

The kids I kept from 2012 kidding... 
Cocoa (doeling, moonspots) & Boots (wether)

And we cant forget about The Stinky Boys... 
Ringo & Peanut

I weighted Tulip and Star this morning... Star (Boots mom) is 4 years old and weighs between 135-140 (2 months bred), Tulip (Star and Cocoas mom) is a few years older than star, dont know exactly and she weighs 115 - 120 (1 month bred), Cocoa (doeling) is 78-81 and Boots (wether) is 84-87 if I did it right...  I went by this weight chart I still need to weigh The Stinky Boys.

  3. Oh I love those little faces. I understand selling your animals and knowing where they go. It is important to me also. New babies will be wonderful. Miss my goats. B
