Do you have any pictures by chance? How did the older do in previous breedings? Have they been milked? Any other useful info? I am up in Midland and it wouldn't be too hard to swing down there... but I'm not sure I'm ready to expand the herd yet. Thanks for the info!

I can email pictures from my cell phone if you pm me an email address, the older doe birthed twins both times she was bred with no issues, they are all together in a pen now thussly it is possible that the does may be bred although I'm always home and have not seen any indicators of him having shown any interest in the does, nor vise versa since they've been together. which would be roughly the last 45 days or so... as far as milking, no, my intent for the herd was as meat producers you wont find boers to milk as copiously as dairy breeds, or even boer dairy crosses. thats not to say they cant be milked as I have milked the older doe out to suppliment other kids, but not on any sort of regular or production basis. I sold all my crosses in the fall, locally here and held these three back as a probable start to a fullblood herd, then changed my direction thus they have become available.
