We both know that's not true He might not like it, but he'll adjust as long as it makes you happy.

BTW: I believe the ewes are both bred the older one is getting quite large. Of course, the ram is bigger than both of them now.

He's still friendly, but I don't let my guard down with those horns The younger ewe (I believe she's the one that kicked your hubby in the head) is still quite skittish. The older ewe loves me!

I'll post lots of pictures!

Remind me when it's time for the Caprine weekend, I'd like to go this year.

Hey Patty, guess I may as well chime in, too. I'm located 30 miles north of Binghamton, near Whitney Point. I have a small herd of purebred Nigerian Dwarf and a few Nubians and Nubian mixes for milking.

Western NY here, near the PA border.

Saanens only.

I think DW went to the outing last year at least for one day. She said that she thought it would of more interest to me as I take care of most of the meds/ shots/ hoof trimming. She's good at loving them up!

We have only one buck at this time. I will have to get back with you on the pedigree. DW handles that, and I wouldn't know for sure where to look. I couldn't even rattle off his full name at this point....I only use his nickname.
