My first breeding of the season!

My reg. nubian buck bred my new doe today... I am going to try to get her a grade registry because I don't know where she came from! I am hoping for girls!

Sign up on Shutterfly or PhotoBucket and upload the pics there. Then right click on the pic and copy image location then come back here and paste it on your post.
Congrats on the breeding!

I'm hoping for a buck kid out of my doe that is due next week - so I'll probably get only does. That just seems to be the way it works.

Hi Dairygoatslave... I have Reg. Nubians & reg boers and then I also have my pack goats! I should make a road trip and come visit!
Here are the two does that were given to me... The first is standing weird, her rump really isn't that steep, she looks like a standard goat, but she is the one I bred to my reg nubian buck. The 2nd is Rosey. She has a look that I really like... I am going to try to get a Notice of Appearance on her. I want to find a big buck to breed her to. My nubian buck is really 'dairy' in appearance, and I would like to keep her bigger traits in future kids. !

Thank you! I really like the black one, her traits are just really appealing, I just need to figure out how to get them to do the 'show' stanse... I guess I will learn as I go! She's nicer in person, ofcourse, but thanks! I hope to get more like her!
A friend of mines daughter just won the LaMancha doeling raffle at nationals! I've seen the dam... very nice doe and lovely udder! Did you go?
