About Time!! :)

Well every one! It turns out this weekend and week has been GREAT! (better then last weekend when I didn't't't get to buy my rabbits "flame ON!")

Well heres the deal!

Faith my only fully papered doe was in heat Sunday. I had to lock everyone down in the paddock when we were at church. The last thing she needs is to jump 5 feet to get to the buck (The pasture is on a hill.) So she was in heat ALL DAY! good for her but bad for me! All day yelling her head off!
Sunday I noticed Rihanna had some smile on her butt! To bad I missed it! !! (Not a huge deal.)

But today was VERY Good. My queen is due to come in heat Oct 3 and My buck bred 2 of our Boers today!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that's me now! Im happy since last week I was thinking I would only have 1 doe kidding!!!

So here is what it looks like!!

Molly (Boer) BRED to Spirit(Nubian) Due Jan 5 2008
Nelly (Boer) BRED to Spirit(Nubian) Due Feb 28 2008
Taffy (Boer) BRED to Spirit(Nubian) Due Feb 28 2008

*Heats*

Beth - heat estimated Oct 3 2007
Faith- heat estimated Oct 20 2007
Rihanna heat estimated Oct 20 2007

So that only leaves Lily my Alpine Mix. She is really the only one I wanted bred second to last, but hey! Im happy for what I got!

That's it just wanted to brag!

(Now a GOAT BREEDER FOR 2007!!! )

That's great! But I don't want to hear you whining when you have to spend your nights in the barn in the middle of a blizzard!

One of my Nigies is due next week, another maybe in November. I've tried feeling for kids but all I can feel is her big blubbery belly. Then I don't plan to breed any one until late November at the earliest.
