What have I done!!!

Three more does came in to heat Sunday, so three more were bred. Then I realized that means SEVEN does kidding in an 8 day period in March. Gonna be a fun week :)

Lizzy & Louie

Goatie Courtship


These are going to be good looking F2 kids with  good milking genes behind them.
Both Louie & Lizzy have horns, so no polled kids from these two.

Schapi & Lily









Hey Dude! pay attention to me!!

Yes, play fighting is often part of the ritual.





Later in the day, Heidi decided she was in heat, too.....
Heidi certainly has her own ideas about things. Much like last year, she decided she was going to pick her own buck. I was planning to breed her to Only One Buck. She decided she was not going to wait & hopped the fence to get in with Lily & Schapi. I decided that a blue eyed kid out of Heidi would be cool, so I let her stay in there. Heidi is a GREAT milker but she is on the small side. Schapi has good milk lines behind him, but his breeder was not milking, so I am not sure about his mothers milking ability. But he is a 50:50 F1, so he should add a little size to Heidi's kids.......we shall see....

She also decided she was in LOOOOVVVE with Mr. Blue eyes.

Schapi is a little smaller than Lily & Heidi right now, but that is because he is not yet full grown.

The Happy threesome
