Getting another goat!

I'm really exited. Lloyd and Nora Allen of Alpine Valley Dairy Goats have two bred does for sale. One is a 2 year old first freshener, and the other is a 4 year old that will be freshening for the 5th time. I'm interested in the 4 year old, though I haven't gone to see them yet, so I don't know FOR SURE. They are bred to thier favorite buck, Ace.
I'm going to be borrowing the 400.00 for the doe from my dad, and will be paying him back when the doe kids and I sell them. Hopefully the does have triplets, lol! I'd like to keep a doeling, but I'l have to sell as many as it takes to make the 400.00 difference. She's been shown and is a 2*M. This'll be my most expencive (as compared to 75.00) and my first show goat!
I'd like to learn how to show so I can get her to her GCH, however that's done, lol.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe they mean she is freshenING for the 5th time?
