First baby of the year!!! WAHOO :)

Kidding season has finally started here! Cookie kidded March 8th, 2012 with a single(yes ONE) Little doeling! Shes absolutely stunning! I have named the little cutie Snickerdoodle! No guess that she will be staying here! She is so pretty and for once I have seen a baby doe that DOESNT look like her daddy, Jasper! Jasper has thrown so many buckskins and for once we have a sweet little brown and while doe! So precious to start the kidding season off with not only a perfect, easy kidding with no problems, but shes a GIRL! Usually when you see a single, you automatically assume its going to be a boy! But not this one!

OK enough talking....Time for the PICS!

Getting ready for kids!

Its almost time and im getting excited and nervous! We had a not so nice kidding season last year. Not only was it a bad buck year, it was also filled with bad kiddings! Hopefully this year will be better! It has too!

Cookie has less than 2 months to go! Shes the first one due and has those wonderful Jasper babies im waiting for! Jasper has been known to throw a good amount of Boys and Girls so im really hoping this time he gives me more girls! I need a doe year so bad and this year would be perfect! Lots of reservations to fill plus I havent gotten a single wether or buck reservation! Everyone wants girls!

Speaking of reservations, if anyone is interested in wethers let me know! Im sure I will have a lot! And while they are very cute, I dont plan to keep ANY! I just dont have any extra room so please send anyone my way looking for some pet wethers!!

Well thats it for now :) Until next time....

Babies?? Awwww!!

Well I finally bred my last doe a few days ago! It was nice to be done with breedings for a few months(pending how the wattle girls grow). Now I have a total of 6 does due throughout the next 5 months.

Cookie is first up! Due March 1st to Jasper. Shes looking really good and im just PRAYING that this kidding goes smoothly. Honestly I cant handle another bad kidding season....CANT! Im not sure what would happen to me if it did! I was SO ready to quit last year! UGH. But Cookie is so dang pretty and I am trying to stay positive. I felt her babies kicking like crazy last week which totally made me super excited. I havent felt babies like that since Jenny was preggo last year. Speaking of Jenny(my unregistered brat), she was bred to Titan and is due May 30th.

After Cookie we have Corona who is due March 14th to Sage. I bought(or was rather given) Corona on a doe back deal which means I have to give up first choice doe to her old owner. Not that big of a deal since I have Corona but im really hoping she has a couple girls! Sage has been a big doe producer so far! Theres hope...

Lotus is next, shes due April 1st GO FIGURE! Courageous bred her and these will probably be my only kids from him. Sadly but oh well. Poor Lotus has been through so much! I really hope she kids with no problems!!

Little Bev is due April 5th to Max(one of my FAVORITE bucks!!). Hes all black with wattles...Hubba hubba!! Poor Bev though! Shes really small! I bred her at 45 pounds and still feel bad! She was 1 pound when she was born and has always been a small girl. I expect her to have 1 baby(like her mom did) and thats it. REALLY need this to be a easy kidding. Bev is pretty special and has a lot of potential.

Last but not least! Georgia and Jenny were both bred last week(totally spaced on the date) but are due May30th to Titan. Both girls and Titan have blue eyes! It will be really cool to see what these girls have

I will be a WRECK when everyone starts getting close. Only because last year really opened up my eyes and showed me the dark side of breeding. It was just one thing after another and hit us so hard. I have my school schedule set around kidding season! How dorky is that?? I will be going to school EARLY in the morning so that I can rush back to see the goats and make sure I can monitor them. Like I said its going to be tough!
