Sad frustrating dilemma

3 1/2 years ago I bought this 6 week old kid - was told she will take a bottle, NOT

she ended up getting real sick and I almost lost her (was laying in her own poo just not moving)

Anyway Miss Mia has had 3 successful kiddings (first was not planned since she wasnt quite 7months old when bred). First was a mini me named Kari, then a boy Stormy. She didnt kid in 2009 till the late fall - again another mini me - Lucie

I sent her off to get bred early 2009 at my friends place - friend had loved her for a while and then sort of kidnapped her once she arrived lol so I told her she could buy her when she wanted to.

Now this friend is having some issues with family and husband is willing to make some compromises but asks that she scale down. I convinced my friend to go into showing Nigerian Dwaf goats so she figures that Mia being unregistered is the unfortunate cut of the herd along with her daughter Lucie. (she feels bad about this dont get me wrong)

So the leaves me in bad spot. mom says i have enough goats, Mia is my baby, and I havent quite gotten over the fact that I gave Jasper my wether buddy away. And I always knew I could see Mia whenever I wanted. I cant stand the thought of her being tossed from home to home. (which is what I hear is happening to the other two older does I sold)

I told my friend I would buy her back .... but now what. Where do I put her and what do I do with an unregistered doe who only has had singles (beautiful ones though).

is this the wise choice? or am I being overly sentimental about a GOAT

here is Mia's page from before I sold her http://www.endofthelinefarm.com/mia.htm (says something when you keep a does page even after sold)

 

she has someone who wanted her also if she ever sold her but this lady wants her for milk -- which Mia is not good for. She stands to be milked and has the BEST tasting milk EVER. But only gives like a cup a milking! Which never bothered me since every bit was used for bottle feeding and I was happy for what she gave me. But I dotn want her sold again because she isnt the producer this lady wants. So thats why I said I will buy her back.

The money isnt the issue -- and she did pay me for her 150.00 so its only fair I pay her back.

The money isnt the issue, I will come up with ti one way or the other.

Schell is 2 hours from me

Liz I dont think needs another doe but I maybe going her way in May or June

 

you are very kind! I just want to give her a forever home someday and I just cant right now. maybe if I get the magical BF who will marry me and give me a goat ranch I can


Hay one can dream cant they!

 

Havent even talked to my mom yet

I just know her answer

Believe me my mom is the greatest! she will do anything for me -- including making 2 kidding stalls for me while I was at work just to surprise me! So she isnt mean or hard to live with or a goat hater

 

Really Shell? I mean I dont think I have more money for board or anything but you could breed her and keep any kids she has I just wont be able to pay for board I just dont have that kind of money

 

I will let you know

Thanks SO MUCH SHELL

I will let you know how this plans out
