Talking Can't wait . . . more babies!!!

Sundae is due in about two weeks! It started out accidentally (we didn't mean to buy a pregnant goat and they didn't mean to breed her) but we are so excited! Seriously, I need more cute mischievous babies around here!!! They'll have to be pets because we don't know which buck bred her . . . at least three mounted her because the bucks got loose at her old farm. Anyway . . . hopefully the weather is okay in mid-August!

If it's a big deal, you could also send for DNA on the bucks and any kids worth keeping. That way they could be registered. Bucklings I wouldn't bother with, but I likely would if a really nice doeling was born.

We wouldn't want to put Sundae's former owners through the trouble of doing DNA tests, and the live pretty far away so it wouldn't be worth it to drive all the way over. Registration isn't a big deal for us. Thanks, though!

True. You just yank hair from the buck and send it in, but I think there is a fee associated with it and I'm sure it's not super cheap, lol... and you'd have to do all of them to figure out the sire, probably. :P IF it's not worth it to you, then don't worry about it.
