yarrow · #1 05/17/14, 03:18 PM

after being gone for almost 3 wks.. we are finally back home from our west coast kid delivery and pick up trip... to say I'm tired and HAPPY to be home would be an under statment LOL.. Jess took a few pics of the new kids I brought home.. let me introduce you to

black & tan doe is Reuel Tecla's WC Taborri (she is a B GCH Remuda Winter Constellation daughter.. I've wanted a doe sired by him, since back when I owned Journey... also a Winter Frost son)..

brown & white buckling is Reuel Rhesa's MIC Rafiki ... his dam was a Price o the Field Royal Marcus daughter (I also own a daughter of his, kept both her doelings back.. bought this guy to breed to them).. Rafiki's sire is 1/2 Kastdemur..his dam is a Reuel bred doe who was #3 in butterfat in 2005)

the two spotted doelings are my Royal Marcus grand does I kept. lots of copper-hill on the dam line.. Solid ears is Ooby.. frosted is Lodi

the two frosted earred kids coming out of the barn are my two Saada kids.. The doeling is the blue roan... Jooniper... (her sire is Pekahn dam Blue Beary).. black buck is Tabbouleh also sired by Pekahn, (my favorite Saada family line)
his dam is Sambusik... We will be adding more Saada next year as well..

Big blue roan doe is one of my Golthwaite kids.. (Goldthwaite Azurite Nite).. sire SG Goldthwaite BOOTONNIERE.. dam: SGCH GOLDTHWAITE HOORAH 9*M

brown buckling with the solid ears is Goldthwaite Mocha Moose (already tested G6S Normal).. he is sired by sire: *B GOLDTHWAITE PURSUIT dam: Goldthwaite MARCELLA (a KOSHATTA daughter sired by Barishnikov) Marcella milked for over 500 days and still won her 2 GCH leg.. LA 90 .. I look forward to seeing babies from Moose.. already catching myself looking at my yearlings and planning pedigrees LOL...

we made it home just in time for my last doe of the year to kid.. Twyla kidded with triplets (buckling didn't make it, but the two doelings are lovely).. will post pics of them later

susie... who hopes there is no more VACATIONING, at least with goats..in her near future..

Welcome home, Susie! Looks like it was a great trip! I follow Reuel Dairy web page regularly...particularly during kidding season (saw she lost Rhesa - very sad). One of my very favorite herds and way too far away. Same with Black Mesa (they have lots of Reuel stuff in their herd, too). So, I am totally envious of your fabulous new kids!!! I know you are so excited about these new additions and I would be, too. We are cutting back (as you know) but I will always drool over certain herds and Reuel and Saada are certainly two of them...Goldwaite ain't too shabby either..LOL! Can't wait to see what your new mix (and old, too) will produce in the future...you are certainly lookin' good, girl...

Congratulations! The black with tan ears buckling, was that the one in the pet carrier? I don't remember getting a load of those ears! Beautiful!

Thanks again for picking up my boy, he's doing great and so sweet! You can sure tell they are brothers!

Welcome home! I followed your trip on FB & it looked like a really nice time plus you brought home beautiful baby goats, nothing better than that!!

That Black spotted baby with the brown spots wants to come live at my house!

YES, both of the Goldthwaite kids were in the dog crate.. I think he's going to be quiet the looker when he matures (he was born on 4/24.. so he's still very much a baby.. even if he is already mounting EVERYONE in his pen LOL)

glad to hear your boy is settling in well.. happy I was able to get him down here for you.

Beautiful kids Susie, congratulations!

But I am bummed...I could have "met" you as we live between Deer Park and Coeur d Alene!

I used to get your posts on FB but now they don't show up (obviously). I wonder why that is (and yes, I am a FB dork...)

There was a gal over here a few years back (MT) that did a real good job combining the Saanen and Goldthwaite herds - Bedouin was the herd name. Nice looking very milky Nubians.

I'd say your trip was a huge success - on all counts! Followed you on FB, and enjoyed the itinerary & pics. You've brought home some fabulous babies!

As for FB. I'm going to guess that back when FB just out of the blue made me redo my page as a business one. You got lost I'm the shuffle I didn't get the chance to save friends and such. It was just gone. Now I have a couple pages ages ago acres nubians is whet I post farm kid type pics. And susie price is how I chat with buyers and such. Yarrow woodwyfe is my REAL FB page. It's the one for folks who already realize how weird I am. Longtime friends family and such. And yes just as many people call me yarrow day in day out as susie lol.

I have actually seen the website for the folks with the saanen and Nubian goats. The nubians they chose are all pretty much the same lines I'm drawn to. I started out with pretty much all PNW limes Luck-e-g six-m crown-hill. I'd always had want to bring in more so I contacted Sandy at Reuel's and the buying began lol. Your part of the world is lovely. It was also beautiful down on Oregon at Justine's. Looked like a flower catalog for miles upon miles We drove the coast line from northern CA THRU OR into WA. so much to see ( sure we are a sight to see too. Purple pickup. Hubby surprised me with a new paint job ony white truck before we left. Old truck drove like a dream. Never the slightest issue 10 years old, but only 60.000 miles when this trip began. Now over 7000 more miles on this trip. We would pull in for gas All the kids yelling thinking it's bottle time. People would always come over to see who :what was screaming lol.

Pretty kids Susie !! Glad you guys had a safe trip !!

Oregon coast is gorgeous! Sounds like a great trip. And yep - North Idaho (okay and even E. Washington) is pretty great too.

Purple truck full of screaming Nubian kids.....that's one for the books! LOL

I'll look you up on FB and "friend" you
