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 |
