Posted my group in the for sale section. Will give a really good deal, for all four, to members here.

Im sorry for both of you. If I were closer, I would get a couple off of you. This year has been horrible. First the birthings, now the drought.

I wish y'all didn't live so far away. I have ton of browse. I am surrounded by 5000 acres of paper company timberland.

I would like to hear more about them??

Yes, their milk is good and their attitude and temperament is even better. I think they look like teddy bear ears, although I do prefer elf ears to gopher... When people complain how small their ears are, I point out their own, human ears...

Tin Mom....I did not hear that you had lost Chewies dam. So sorry to hear that as Chewie is one of the nicest bucks, both in looks and temperament, that I have ever had the pleasure to raise.
I won't have any kids from him until next year. I tried to use Crusader for as long as possible. I will cross his does with Chewie, good Lord willing. It all hinges on whether we get any rain. Everyone around here is baling up every bit of ground they can bale.
