Moonflower standing there looking all pretty 🩷 There is definitely a lot I like about this girl! She better have some doe kids for me this year 😆 She is in heat now (not breeding her this cycle) so I grabbed this shot between screams 🤣

We took a few boys to the MDGA Bucks N Babes show today!

Sunny Daze MF Dirty Banana *B was 1 x Grand and 1 x Reserve (just one more leg needed to finish!)

India Blue SR Arrowroot*B was 1st in all 3 rings and 1 x Reserve.

Dwarf Lunacy Moves Like Jagger (a Bananarama grandson) was 1 x 1st and grand champion junior buck.

Another Sunny Daze buck, Sunny Daze K Dough Boy, owned by Jane Bailey of Tiny Town goats, also took a Grand today and is now a finished Champion! ❤️

Sulé has been moved to the junior doe field. Because we bottle raise all kids in stalls in the barn, they don't really get a lot (or any) exposure to the Anatolians until they are a little older. It always takes a little while for them to get comfortable with a dog in the pasture. Sulé is really good about keeping her distance and not putting too much pressure on them. In the meantime, these girls are not too impressed! Lol

Trying to update the website and realized a lot of these girls still have their baby pics 🤣 Drug my child to the barn in a million degree weather to snap some conformation shots. They are milked out in these pics. Will add names and info to their pics shortly!

We survived LA yesterday! We were thankful for the slightly cooler temps and light breeze. The girls looked great and most filled well despite their crazy summer milk schedule! We skipped most of the more mature does that were scored last year, and mainly stuck to 2 and 3 yr old first and second fresheners. Their scores were not quite reflective of what I see looking at them, but it is always a learning experience. These girls are just hitting their stride and should only get better with more maturity!

Here are a few quick udder shots i snapped on LA day! And then a couple of the girls relieved it was over 🤣

Pregnancy testing results are back and looks like 9 yearlings are bred for fall! 1 actually settled for late August, the others will be due around Nov 9th. We are currently taking reservations for does and wethers from these breedings. All does will be FFs. Potential for some silver kids as well as polled and blue eyes if you like some bling!

I also plan to cut heavily from this age group after kidding so if you would like to be added to our interest list for does in milk let me know. All these girls were just tested for CAE and Johnes as well (all negative).

(For those wondering which are due since I don't have the website updated yet it is all the yearlings except Holy Smoke and Tropicana)

I hope everyone is having a great summer and not melting! Us 2 leggeds here have had a busy summer so far. Back from travel/family visits and staying put the rest of summer and trying to get caught up.

A few announcements :

-Currently we have our sights on Linear Appraisal which will be July 30th. Spring kidding plans will hopefully be announced not long after that :)

-It looks like at least one yearling settled for August and the rest will be pregnancy tested soon for November due dates.

-If you have tried to reach out/call over the past month and did not get a response, please try again and I apologize. Due to travel I was having a difficult time keeping up.

-Lastly, I know I had several people with Bananarama kid reservations that sadly will never happen now. I will be reaching out soon to discuss but please don't hesitate to reach out to me first!

Well, chicken math has caught up to me! I need to clear out some of our laying hens to make room for grow outs. Most are olive eggers but there is a good assortment of colors. Majority are 1-3 yrs of age and by the amount of eggs we are getting, they are laying well. A couple keep trying to be broody, if you need a broody! The problem is....I can't tell you which chicken is what age or what color egg it lays 😆 So they will be reasonably priced. Probably 10 or so that can go now and more later summer/fall. PM me if interested.

A few farm updates!

The majority of the yearlings have been bred yesterday and today to both Sunny and Dirty Banana. It was intentional, sort of....long story 🤣 These does will all be FFs due November. Any kids sold with registration that do not come out blue eyed or polled, will be DNA'd! I am hoping to be able to sort through this group of does and sell some in milk after kidding as well.

Due to various circumstances, including some unexpected travel, quite a few does have been dried off (mainly those who appraised with high scores last year and have earned their milk *s past years). Those in milk are going to once a day for a while out of necessity. I hate to do it as I know their milk test numbers will certainly drop, but it is what it is.

We have an LA date at the end of July so I am focusing attention on does who either haven't been scored at all or who have only had a first freshening score. Very excited for our appraisal! We most likely won't be attending any more shows prior to LA unfortunately.

Finalized spring kidding schedule will probably not come out until after LA, however, I may get a tentative one out there sooner! The plan is to freshen about half the usual amount...we shall see!

And lastly, all kids have been sold except for one, now weaned, chocolate doe from Dawson Gap Black Cadillac, sired by Winning Streak Axl Rose. If I decide to make any more cuts they will certainly be posted.

*oops, I meant to include Cyber Monday in these dates so have edited below! LOOKING FOR A NEW HERD SIRE? We wanted to do something fun for Black Friday because who doesn't love a sale??!! We have decided to do a Black Friday special on future buck reservations placed between 11/24 and 11/27! The following discounts will be applied at time of purchase when a paid reservation is made during this time frame: $100 off buck kids from the following does: SGCH Zanzabeez BLU Sippin' On Fire *M VEVE 90 SGCH Sweet Garden MR Floramaria 3*M VEEE 90 SGCH Sweet Garden DS Edelweiss 3*M GGEV 85 Sunny Daze Anna Banana EVEE 90 $50 off buck kids from all other does!!

The kids aren't minding the weather too much!

Can you spot your kid?!

Success!!

Tagalong is looking a bit round as well 🤣

Just a few minutes of baby goat cuteness 😊

Some of the new babies made it out to the barn stall today and are finding their springs!!

While possum was delivering the 2nd kid Wild and Marzipan were checking out the baby. All the girls in this group have never kidded before. The look of horror on Marzipans face!! 🤣

We also saw these bighorn sheep. There were quite a few of them on various cliffs around. They seemed more active/flighty than the mountain goats that pretty much just laid around oblivious to people.

With our new fencing we can now let the girls have access to the browse along the creek. The area has been open to them for over a week but it took me walking them out there to get them really started. I snuck off back to the barn and about 5 minutes later they all had ran back 🤣 Guess they need their shepherd out there with them until they get more comfortable! Lol
