I wanted to share this photo as it just brings me so much joy!

This girl looks awesome anytime, whether it’s milked out, 3hr fill, 12hr fill, show fill or anything in between! She’s the highest producing second freshener I’ve had here, and is one of my highest producing does here! She earned herself an 89 in mammary this year and boy did she deserve it!

Here she is pictured a few hours before milking on a 10.5hr fill. It’s not a fancy photo by any means, and she’s not standing perfect, there’s a fence in the way, and I have no idea what is on her udder, but it shows what a true productive dairy goat looks like raw in the pasture!

Now that photos are back we can FINALLY share an Olds update!

First up is Shadow Vale Deorum Aida *M
She had a great first show. She is well a kinda ugly yearling FF as most are - she’s got all the right stuff just needs time to mature! She placed 2nd in Ring 1 under Alex Cripps then proceeded to take RGCH Sr. She placed 2nd in Ring 2 under Chris Grab and also proceeded to take RGCH Sr.

We finally got photos of the babies done today! First up are 805 FB Caspian daughters!

These are our 4 daughters from him this year, all out of different dams. I’m loving the height at front end and width on his kids! I’m seeing improvements on all over there dams!

I often don’t post photos of the bucks, because let’s be honest the only time they really look semi presentable is when they’re shaved for classification 🫠

However I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a few photos of this handsome guy! He is just gorgeous even in his p*e stained hair!

I try not to play favourites however this boy and his dam have to be my absolute favourites! They are two that will never leave here and will always be my favourites!

Well after a morning full of unfortunate events the goats are FINALLY loaded, trailer is packed, and I think I have everything……well who am I kidding I probably don’t have everything 🫠

The last two days have been BUSY as I decided it was a great idea to wait to start packing until the night before we leave and not to mention wait to shave 3 goats once we are there (all 3 being kids that have never been clipped - what a gong show that’s going to be) the day we leave.

Anyway now that we are about 1hr later than what we had originally intended to leave, we are officially locked and loaded heading to the CNDA Western Classic Dairy Goat Show for the second year in a row. We loved this show so much last year that we couldn’t resist coming back again!

Our show string for this show consists of 6 Nigerian Milkers, 2 Nigerian Kids, 1 Alpine Milker, 1 Alpine Kid……and one too many bottle babies plus two milkers not showing (thanks to someone forgetting to check there tattoos until Thursday evening at milking - that’d be me I’m “someone” 🤦‍♀️) to hopefully lighten the work load for our house sitter.

Safe travels everyone and we can’t wait to see everyone again!

Our first CGS 305 day milk test happened yesterday! It’s really no different than any other day aside from getting to see where everyone is sitting!

Our highest producer was our Alpine producing 13.44lbs. Our second highest producer was Tempo at 7.6lbs.

Our herd sat between 3.5lbs to Aida’s 13.44lbs. I’m extremely happy with these results and super proud of the girls!

Now we wait to see what everyone’s BF% is, fingers crossed it’s just as good as there production! 🤞

We are also awaiting to see if the does who participated in the CGS 1 Day Milk Test last Saturday earned or re-earned there *M

Loving the look of this yearling FF Alpine!

This pretty lady is now 2wks fresh and looking fabulous. She’s been milking just shy of 7lbs every 12hrs and isn’t even at her peak yet!

About a week ago Allie finally released her hostages on day 152, however unfortunately it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

She had her buck kid first he was small only weighing 2lbs but he was lively and trying to eat. A few minutes later she had her doe kid which had her head back however she had no issues passing her. She is tiny and when I say tiny I mean the tiniest living kid I’ve ever seen here or anywhere! She weighed a whopping 1.2lbs
I could tell something was off with her from the get go however she was up and nursing with a little assistance, and I couldn’t see anything seriously wrong.

She wasn’t near as lively as her brother, but was still eating and slowly putting weight on. At 48hrs old we pulled them from mom and both took to a bottle almost instantly. She seemed to be striving on the bottle for about 6 days however took a turn for the worst at a week old. She still ate and although I wanted to I knew I couldn’t sit there all day as there were things to do around the farm outside. I checked on her regularly and fed her and her brother and she wasn’t getting better but wasn’t getting worse.
Unfortunately the last time I went out to check she had passed peacefully in her sleep.
This is the part of farming no one wants to see and no one wants to admit to, however it very much so happens.

I apologize if I take a few minutes to respond to inquiries about available animals, please bear with me and I will get back to everyone as soon as possible. Thank you and I hope everyone has a smoother year than we’ve had!

(Picture is shortly after birth to show just how tiny she was compared to her fairly tiny brother on the right)

INTRODUCTION!

Last weekend we picked up the first two additions of the year and I think it’s finally time to start introducing them!

First up is Shadow Vale Segway Maisie

This is a promising young Alpine doe kid out of Shamrock Hill CA Maelie and sired by Ancrest Sam’s Segway

I’m incredibly excited about the potential of this doe. She is a stylish young doe who is already showing incredible width and bone structure at a young age! Her dam Maelie is a gorgeous deep bodied doe with strong feet & legs. Her mammary system is held up by strong lateral attachments and her teats are large and well placed supported by a strong medial suspensory ligament. Her sire is a promising Junior Buck who comes from strong milky lines! His dam is Ancrest AI’s Sabrina who is a lovely doe with a strong front end and nice Angulation. She also has an incredibly strong mammary system with a strong medial suspensory ligament and strong RUH / RUA.

I’m very much so looking forward to seeing how this girl turns out!

The first additions of the year arrived this afternoon!Introduction posts to follow!

Well Kinsley clearly didn’t get the memo that we’re supposed to kid within the hours of 8am-8pm 🤦‍♀️

Anyway after a longggg labour, Kinsley decided to have her babies at 1am. She had one of the toughest delivery so far this year! Her buck kid was presenting with a head and two front feet tucked underneath, and her doe kid that arrived shortly after was trying to come out head first but sideways with no legs to be found! After a lot of patience and manoeuvring things around we successfully got both kids out safely!

These kids are already super lengthy and will be fun to watch unfold!

Well after a long night we officially have more babies on the ground!

“Fiesta” had Triplets 2B + 1D
I’m absolutely ecstatic to get a doe kid from this pair. Anyone who knows this doe knows she’s only ever had ONE doe kid and that was 2yrs ago!

Safe to say this little doe kid is being RETAINED.
