All of our does have kidded now and what a crop of kids we have!! 3 Boer does, 2 bucks and 1 of each from our dairy doe. The dairy goats will be sold. We will most likely keep 2 of the Boer does for breeding and everybody else will go to market.
Our daughter is busily preparing for the State Fair and the other shows she does during the summer. All the goats that are to be shown must be walked daily to get them used to a leash so they are controllable (somewhat) in the show ring. In addition to this all of the show goats must be fitted (goat haircut) for the shows.
We have also had our first experience milking the dairy doe and bottle feeding her kids.
Have a safe and wonderful summer!
