Orange has such a pretty face. I remember Pumpkin! I saw her at Emily's. It's always hard to decide just WHICH of Emily's pretty girls to bring home - LOL!

They are all so cute! What is it with Emily's herd?? They all look happy! All the goats I seen at our show this year looked so mean and sad, but my 3 were so happy. I could swear my Nubian milker was so happy to get in the show ring again after a 3 year break!

Orange looks just like the doe Febe I was going to buy, well I diddn't have the money and she was sold to a person who doesn't show anymore, and well Febe's full sisther from the same litter that year took Best in show! And she was only a FF doe! And the milkers their were so good I don't know how she did it!!

I must say I have nothing what so ever to do with the happy looks on these gals faces.....thats all due to the wonderful loving care they get from Rose!
Great pictures! Pumpkin comes from a very prolific line of Nubians, so she shouldn't have trouble breeding. Her mother was out of a set of triplets. The other doeling from the triplets is Lalaith, who belongs to Nehi. Just keep trying.

LOL!! If you go to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO on certain days, you can see a goat milking demonstration....star of the show is Willow that I used to own! I sold her to a very nice employee of SDC.
