I thought I remembered in cows the first few breeding didn't produce as good as later years. Maybe it was just the amount not the quality.

So far all of my kids have been reserved before birth and picked up at our farm when they are a week old. When I have extra bucks I sell them for $25/ea on craigslist.


Nice!

Susanne, I am sooo bad about getting pics which is why I don't have a web site and do local sales. My foundation stock if from Sara Koen-Walberg blissberry.com I bought Romance who was #8 on the Top Ten list last year and I have daughters out of Antigua, Robin, Fashion Show, and Tang. I have a Jr. buck out of Topaz and my Sr. buck is line bred on At Your Service. I have some nice 'no-name' does too that appraised 87,88,89 last year with V and E udders. Maybe I'll get some pics this spring :)

Yes, they are milking up a storm just like their dams and can be difficult to dry up. Sara has mentored me and helped me tweak things to get full genetic potential out of my girls. She has done a lovely job getting E udders that hold up over time AND excel in milk production. She had 8 of the Top Ten Breed Leaders last year :o
 
I hope ACE Does as well for you as he has for me!! You have such a beautiful herd :D

Any goat in the high 80s on LA is VERY GOOD!
