So I know that I am posting this a bit early but I do plan on trying to update this ever couple weeks to follow the progress of our does. 2020 we participated in DHIR and 3 of the 4 does earned their milk stars, the 4th doe had already been in milk 500+ days so she could not be counted properly. We haven't finished DHIR for this year quite yet so our stars have not been awarded yet. Unfortunately LA's were canceled due to Covid this year so we are very hopeful they will be allowed in 2021. We are incredibly excited for kidding season to start in Late February 2021 We still have 2 does left to be bred, but the other 8 are bred and the wait has started. These are our Pairings <3

First up is Shere Country SH Aria VEEV 89 was bred to Russian Ridge Apollon
She was bred 9/29/20 and would be Due 2/21/21.


2nd is Equanimitys Miss Lorraine (1*M once our tests are completed) was bred to Russian Ridge Maverick, she was bred 10/3/20 and is Due 2/25/21.


3rd is The Malia's Hope (will be a FF) was bred to Fox Acres Henry Of Skalitz, She was Bred 10/7/20 and is Due 3/1/21 .


4th is The Moonlit Daisy Dream (will be a FF) was bred to Aubreys Acres Beths Obsidian, she was Bred 10/7/20 and should be Due 3/1/21.


5th is Shere Country TMJ Sunflower (1*M once DHIR tests are completed) was bred to Russian Ridge Maverick, She was Bred 10/9/20 and should be Due 3/3/21.

Update: still waiting for anyone else to pop. I am hoping we can sneak through tonight without kids because we are having a nasty cold snap of -12 at its worst. So far no one is showing any early signs. Ligs are loose but still there on Aria, Hope, and Daisy. I can't wait to see the FF udders double. Arias is large now but still fairly soft so still filling :)

So today is the big day for Aria I hope, she is talking up a storm and being super clingy. Ligaments are gone! and her udder is pretty full. barely any squish to it. plus when I check her udder instead of running away like this morning she sets up to nurse kids. Please please please!!

No would you believe everyone is outside sunning but no one is contracting or doing anything. I let granny out for the evening and I have been checking every hour and they are all just blah out in the sun. Ugh!

I do have a problem though. One of my FF does is prolapsing when she lays down, at first it was slightly but it's getting worse. She has 18 days left, it is Belladonna. She is sooooooo packed with kids, her side are hard all the time. I am scared for her to kid just because of how packed she seems to be. There is NO squish to her at all :( I have been giving her 4-6 tums daily for a week now trying to improve it. I have either CMPK or Calcium gluconate, I may even have both. It's only out when she's laying down but she has almost 3 weeks left. I'm scare for her. What do you guys think?

So the Black and white boy with more white cleans out the udder whenever her eats and both the other 2 bucklings are left sucking and sucking. I tried to be sneaky and set them on Aria who has a TON of Colostrum and only her doeling. I gave her some grain and turned the boys loose under her and they loaded up fast!! Then Aria realized it wasn't her kid. She doesn't trust me at all now LOL. But I feel better knowing they have full tummies. I hope Daisy fills a bit more tomorrow. I have powdered colostrum but I really want them to be able to nurse off of mom.

Sunny and Hope both look ready to go. Hope is in the lead though as she is incredibly clingy and chatty. Sunny's udder is Large. Hope is large but disappointing. Very ballish. The one goat I can never sell LOL of course. We love her anyway <3
