My how time flies! It's been nearly a year since I've made an entry. All of the kids I was excited about have been born, and the two doe kids I retained by Fireworks are now eight months old! Not only that, but all my does are bred for the 2014 season as well. We now have two adult bucks, a junior buck, and a little buckling prospect. I'm thinking I need to scale back on the stinky boys.

We took a few does to the Lelia Berry show in May, and they did very well for us! Angel took first place in her age groups, and Dakota took a best of breed and a grand championiship! We were very ecstatic about that! This spring we are hoping to have our herd go through a linear appraisal, and that is very exciting.

And because a blog entry is useless without a cute picture, one of the cutest kiddos of this last spring:

-We wethered this guy and named him Rumpelstilskin, he's still here. :)-

We have nine does to kid in 2014, including Sherry, my older doe who was supposed to kid out for her last time before retirement LAST spring. She skipped last year and refused to conceive. She had some interesting discharge so I gave her a round of antibiotics, thinking a dirty repro tract. Tried one more time, no dice. I decided to hang up her breeding hooves so to speak as I feel over 10 is too old to keep the poor dears producing babies. She had other ideas and interfered with a leash breeding with Densil and is due the end of January. I can feel the kiddos doing somersaults to I know they are really in there! I also did go ahead and purchase a wattled girl, AND a 2013 doe kid out of a Baywatch daughter (I need to figure out how much I still owe on her so I can pay her off and get those papers!) So my pasture is a bit full. Hopefully I don't insist on retaining too many doe kids this season. :)
