MDA Warns of Elevated Mycotoxin Levels in Missouri
Producers and Feed Manufacturers Should Monitor Mycotoxin Levels in 2023 corn.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. –The Missouri Department of Agriculture encourages Missouri feed manufacturers, corn producers and livestock producers to monitor aflatoxin and fumonisin levels in corn harvested in 2023. Mycotoxin levels have increased in Missouri corn due to prolonged drought. Feed contaminated with high aflatoxin and fumonisin levels may impact livestock.

Well, this is concerning for many Nigerian Dwarf breeders. https://adga.org/performance-programs/dna-exclusions-placed-on-hold/?fbclid=IwAR3sI6hovh7B6ToJ-gFhQclC97S5fyU04ZnX0vmiWpy2KTOR3vettzGi4qc

Fill those barns with hay! Here's a useful resource to locate what you need:

RedHorseValley BC Du a Gwyn
Sire: RHV PZ Butch Cassidy *B (Dragonfly HLU Piezo d'Electrá *B x SG RHV CTO Rachel 4*M)
Dam: RHV CNT Drop of Golden Sun (SG RHV CTO Cointreau +*B x Chenango-Hills Lizabet 6*M)

Love, love, LOVE this doe! She's such a great mama and so very productive. Got her clipped and pulled kids for a few hours, and I'm pleased. She's not filled to capacity here, but she's very pretty, and sweet as can be, imho!

She-camels for milk?? Yes, indeed! Take a peek:

Happy Birthday to the newest additions to RHV. Introducing the latest kids out of Dragonfly CP Chicquera (Dragonfly SOL Capriccio x GCH Dragonfly IH Peregrine 09-01 91 EEEE). These kids are sired by RHV CNT Amos *B (SG RHV CTO Cointreau +*B x SG RHV SMF Fawn 7*M ELITE), whose two littermate sisters are 9 months shy of 3 YEARS in continuous milk from their first freshening August 2020!! (How's that for persistent lactations, huh??) Chicquera and aunts of these kids really have high production and the "will to milk"!

Yes, there is a lot of genetic potential in these kids, and I'm going to be selfish and keep the gold/white doe kid for myself as a replacement for her granddam, Fawn, who we lost this winter. There are two very nice looking bucks in this litter who are available. Though just born, width thurl-to-thurl is fantastic. Those who know of Peregrine will remember that she scored "E" in rump several times throughout her lifetime. Fingers crossed these boys will follow suit ;o)

Triplet bucks out of RHV AM Bright Eyes (Dragonfly T Ashen Myst x SG RHV CTO Rachel 4*M), sired by RHV LP Donnagan (RHV CNT Little Pinky x SG Agape Oaks M Golden Fire 3*M) born 5/12/23. The two without much white are polled!

21/05/2023

Gwyn’s littlest (black and white doe) and Brighty’s littlest (mostly white buckskin boy) are doing great!

07/05/2023

Gwyn’s litter is doing well! She’s such a good mama.

07/05/2023

Five.... Gwyn had 5 kids today... One tiny one, but everyone is doing well so far. 3 does and 2 bucks, all black with various amounts of white. First kids sired by Sinai Thunder O Elohim *B! Gwyn is really impressing me with her udder, volume of production and how much room she has in there to fish out those kids. She's a champ in my book!

New kids on the block looking for homes after weaning. 2 doe kids out of RedHorseValley OR Rejoice, sired by RedHorseValley CNT Ambrosia. One buck kid out of RHV SMF Pente sired by RedHorseValley TS Bona Fide *B.

Great talent producing these portraits:

I realize that disbudding kids is a controversial issue, but this is one example why it can rightfully be justified.

This doe is a favorite of mine who has gotten little publicity. Meet RedHorseValley BC Du a Gwyn {RHV PZ Butch Cassidy *B x RHV CNT Drop of Golden Sun} (Yes, I did clear the name with our colleague who owns that herdname before registering this girl!) She freshened once before with a single buck/wether. Milk testing was nearly impossible for her first lactation so I don’t have “impressive” numbers to share. Never-the-less, I know this genetic package and the joy of milking her! This photo of her developing udder (she’s due about 5/3) is insufficient to show how nice it appears in person… ya know, the black goat thing….

Bred to Sinai Thunder O Elohim *B (SG Cedar View Olivero +*B x Sinai Thunder MD Elouisa 2*M 02-04 88 VVVE), we are hopeful for a doe kid to keep, but any others will be available.

Contact us ASAP if you would like to be notified of available kids!
