A Turn of Events

Two days ago, the farming husband realized a doe we did not realize had been bred my own Nigerian buck was getting an udder!

We have another doe due to kid in a month, and though she had no udder, we thought we'd give them both a sanitation clip ;)

I was very concerned after losing Claire, a much bigger doe, about this smaller coming 1 year old doe, so she was bred to our Nigerian buck.

And as a day with the goats and the pre kidding prep work ends. . .

and the farming fellow goes up to do the nightly feeding and finds:

A cute little single Doeling by Spring Breeze is born right

in the middle of the barn without a single hitch!

Momma and little gal are going fine! No issues at all!

Now, following up this Farm High. . .

We have been emailing with:

ATWOOD ACRES

About buying 2-4 Nigerian does

We made the drive up to Independence, Ky

today on the spur of the moment

and we bought

Two 2008 Does.

Atwood Acres VOODOO

and 

Atwood Acres Blue Berlin

I admit, I wanted 4, but the voice of seldom heard reason,

Farming Husband, chimed in a resounding, "No."

I listened, which is also a seldom sort of thing to occur.

The hardiness, ease of kidding and easy condition

make them a great choice for dairy goat keepers.

Many do not milk well, so be selective in where you buy your stock.

These two paired with the "soaking wet" buckling I'm waiting

on from the well known

Buttin Heads Herd

and the two I purchased from a Colorado Herd brought to Ohio and Princeton,

our 1 yr old Buck from Atwood lines, as well,

Will give us a very well bred, milking group of Nigerian Dwarfs,

all AGS OR ADGA registered of course!

Also, I believe, with time, Eve, the doe who

lost both kids and sustained some strange type

of teat injury, we think from being so full and from

coming into contact with amniotic fluids for too long ,

will recover and end up with an amazing udder.

Well, the udder is already amazing, in my opinion, for a Frist

Freshening 1 year old doe, but once the teats heal, and I

believe they will, it will be quite a good udder!
