Wow has it been wet! The girls didn’t let that stop them and we have a nice crop of kids again this year. They’ll be ready to wean in about a month (possibly sooner). Come on out and pick out your favorites. We have everything from Fullblooded Boers to dairy does crossed with our Boer buck, Sweet Victory’s Orion’s Legacy – love this guy. His kids are big, conform well, and they have lots of color. There’s at least a couple of them out there that would be great show wethers – they have a lot of style.
We look forward to finding out how those dairy crosses turn out. The reports I’ve seen indicate it’ll produce dual-purpose kids – meatier goats that can produce a larger volume of milk. Boer goat milk has more milk fat in it, so richer milk is possible too. We have one Purebred French Alpine freshened at long last. No more milk runs to the grocery store! The other appears to be getting ready to deliver soon. We also have some grade dairy does and their kids available for sale – they’re good girls, but don’t have all the attributes we’d prefer. We’ll be looking into some better quality does – those from good milking lines and possibly a dairy buck.
Don’t forget to check us out at Country Lace Craft Mall (Auburn/Pawnee exit off I-55 behind the truck stop). We have goat milk soaps, goat milk bath salts, and other hand crafted items there. Ours is the booth with the kitchen sink!
