I hope you don't mind this isn't kid related. I am always looking at how people feed thier hay... what are you using for your hay feeder?

BTW they all seem relaly found of Morrie!

Can't promise spots (actually can't promise enough bucklings at this point LOL. LOTS of folks are contacting me. I've decided to extend my offer to our HT family, for my fall kiddings) (I usually breed 5 or so does for Oct kids...no one is bred more then once a year) I'll also offer the bucklings from '09 breeding season.

We just finished the kidding barn (where the pics were taken) right now I've just got a 16' long cattle panel wired to the wall. Once kidding is over and I have a few minutes. I'll make wooden frames and attach 4x4 panel (the cattle panel openings are 6x4 - at least I'm pretty sure that's how big they are) The smaller openings, really cut down on waste. On my young goats I use horse panel (2x4 openings) My girls just do better with the long feeders, less shoving and no one can *guard* a too large of an area for herself

Yes, the girls LOVE their Stinky, Morrie man... He's the sire of most of this year's kids. I've used him for several years now. This is his last big breeding season..... I love him (he will always live here on our farm. It's his home and he's a big part of our family. He gives the sweetest little buck kisses) He's gentle and easy to handle (even at the height of rut) he is just as gentle with his *ladies* and they all love him, from the aged doe to the little ff's. He passes on nice udders/good amounts of milk to his daughters. His gentle, intellegent nature passes on to his sons.

wow! where have I been?? Can you add me to the list? If you have a spare (this kidding or next) please please please???? I really have been thinking a lot about a nubian buck. So, he would be in the breeding business. I dont mind horns either, all but one of mine have them. I am in Northeast Texas, so I would have to drive a bit, but one of your little guys would be well worth it!
I will pm you my information.

probably more then they are worth LOL... honestly I don't know. The big problem with shipping (well actually I guess it's a multi layered problem) First location, I'm at least 2 hours (one way) from an *REAL* airport. Winter time temps where you are, would probably allow shipping during certain temps. Timing, these guys need to go as itty bitty bottle babes (I need the milk) .... I am going to offer the next several kidding seasons also.. maybe time/weather/someone traveling your way or something will happen that will allow you to get one. (((I guess you could always check with one of the goat/livestock haulers. That's how several folks have bought jersey heifers from me and gotten their new girls home)))

Ya know....
If you do still end up with one later I'd love to have him intact...I's supposed to be getting a Nubian doe or doeling form Ozark Jewels later in the spring so it may become a pet project. I can disbud him once he's here. Such a great offer you are making.

Let's see what all the girls have. Of course I'm hoping for does which means I'm going to end up with bucks, bucks, bucks... (last year I had FIVE does out of 20 something babies!) .... got the cameras set up and have already started watching the girls (trying to learn where everyone's favorite spot to sleep is, what a normal evening is like for each one. MAYBE, knowing what is normal for each girl, will let me cut way down on actual, going out in the middle of nights -hourly- to check...
