Tread softly

We shan't get edited here for discussions deemed non-family.

The goat jinx struck again. We are up to 4 males in a row. The latest bucklings are doing well.

Oh, my... wow...

Sounds like I owe you a lot more eggs, lol... I am hoping production rises again in time for your upcoming trip, but am not holding my breath... I don't want to do supplemental light either, so will let you know how it goes...

The goats are doing well.

I have to say its exciting getting twins. This is our third batch but also its out 3rd batch in 4 deliveries.

Adding the Nubian blood along the way as well is good nutrition has optimized our chances of multiple births.

Syrel is off. It was Vincent that reported the "two" baby goats. It should have been "too"

Ahh the joys of language barriers. LOL

The new guy is Saanen 44% Nubian 31% Boer 6% Native 19%

We are expecting one more delivery with the same mix and another that will be Saanen 44%, Nubian 21% Boer 16% Native 19%. We should see them in the next two weeks.

It takes a good spread sheet to keep track!

Then in Feb we will have three more goats deliver.

After Easter we will start looking for a pure dairy goat buck - probably Nubian but I also have a lead on a Toggenburg.

The generation should be milkable,

Our 2 "least dairy" - Boer 20% Nubian 30% Native 50%. Will be culled in Summer after they deliver and wean. The remainder I am going to try and carry on the farm for another round. I want to get my money's worth out of Chabichou. By the end of 2016 we should have the CocoDairyGoat Farm with 6-10 does with 92+% milking goat blood. In the meantime, we shall enjoy a spot of goat curry.
