Look Mom, That One's Got Ears and Everything!!!

Well it's been hard for my son since I sold the Nigerians - every time he sees a goat that's not a munchie he says "Look Mom, that's one's got ears and everything, yeah I like that one!!!"

Soo... I broke down and Sept 5th when I went to get my new buckling I let him get an eared goat - she shares the same birthday as my son which made it cool...she's a year old and I was quite impressed with her udder - But quite the talker - sounds like a dying cow. LOL

So I personally was super excited about my new buckling - I need to get a new picture - he's such a pistol - thinks he's ready to breed every thing that walks - tries to compete with Volt which is funny enough since Volt is my 3 y/o buck who towers over him. He got out with the girls and got pushed around pretty good - but every time he got knocked back or down he came up blubbering and flapping. By the time I got up there he was all dirty and surrounded by girls --- I had to drag him away talking and drooling...such a pistol.. Here's his pedigree:

S: *B Glen Mythos Vidfraegr
SS: CH *B Glen Mythos Helm's Deep
(SGCH +*B Glen Mythos Stormbringer x Glen Mythos Medusa 2*M)
SD: SGCH Glen Mythos Valhalla 14*M
SGCH +*B Glen Mythos Stormbringer x SGCH Hailey's Star Persephone 13*M)
D: Shady Lawn My Spice
DS: *B One Oak Hill Tweed Mysaka
(GCH ++*B One Oak Hill MAC Tumbleweed x One Oak Hill Harlequin Marin1*M )
DD: Shady Lawn T. Sweet Cherry 1*M
(++B One Oak Hill Tumbleweed Talon x J-Haven’s AP Hot ‘N’ Spicey)
and an older picture -
Look Mom, That One's Got Ears and Everything!!! - Goats

And for the eared one - here's her pedigree - I'm not real familiar with any of these lines - if it's not Munchie or Nigerian, it's foreign, LMAO.

Tickled by her udder and her FF capacity, getting a gallon plus off her until I dried her off. Nice attachments, MSL, capacity, teat placement and teat size - ease of milking...nicely blended smooth fore udder - impressed with her udder all the way around - but she needs body width - hoping a good year to grow will improve that...and her overall appearance - I've got a picture of her, but she's not full in the picture - if I had the sense the good Lord gave me, I would've gotten pictures of her udder before I dried her off. Only seeing her needing time to grow now - and well, she sounds like a dying cow but good personality on this "little" girl. (lol little - she TOWERS over all my other girls).


S: Caprea Farmstead Jack Sparrow
SS: CAPREA FARMSTEAD PIECES OF 8
(SGCH ++*B Kismet Ryde The 8 Spot x SHEPHERD'S-CROOK MAGPIE MCCAY)
SD: Caprea Farmstead De Evasive
(FOXWOOD DREAMWEAVER x SHEPHERD'S-CROOK STYLYST EVE)
D: Hoosier Kids Daffodil Frills
DS : DUAL COOL GATSBY
(WOLF'S PRIDE MACHO CANDY MAN x KARMA FARMS WITH ALL INTENT)
DD: ENSTROM'S FUDGE BROWNIE
(LITTLE-BIC'S KNIGHT KISS x ENSTROM'S ZELDIA'S ZENA)
Look Mom, That One's Got Ears and Everything!!! - Goats

But I've just about lined out my breeding schedule - super excited about the line-up...just working out the finishing touches....

Hope everyone is doing well - ;D

Bravo to you for helping your son stayed interested in your animals!! It sure helps when they get to pick out something they particularly like.
She is gorgeous and your new buckling is very handsome!

Oh, wow! Your son has a good eye- she looks like an oil painting of a breed standard!

(and I would give my left toe to be there when Junior Buck is wooing; such a riot! I can't get enough of the DRAMA!!)
