Lots to do in 2012

So its the end of january and there is so much to do with goaties.  The new pen was done in december.  But now I need more dogloos, toys, feeders, etc...  Sometime soon I will need to get online and see what I can build.  I also developd my own website.  No I am not breeding yet but it was cheap to get it up and running.  I am learning alot about the mini silky breed.  I am also learning alot about kidding from all my FB friends.  It seems like a scary but rewarding adventure to go on.  I will be welcoming a new buck and doe in march/april but I am still looking for my mini silky queen.  I hope there is one out there for me this kidding season!

As for me personally, I will be starting IVF in May for a kidding season of my very own.  :-)

The start of a great goatie year!!!

It has been a very exciting year for me already in the goat world... My 2 boys are doing so well... very healthy!  We also expanded the goat pen and it looks gorgeous!!  I also purchased a fainting goat.  Her name is faint hearted ranch cinnamon.  She is so very pretty and I cannot wait to get her.  I also found a Miniature Silky Buck from linda at blessed green pastures on the east coast.  His name is westwind acres da vinci.  He is exactly what I am looking for in a buck.  He will live at another breeders house because bucks smell and even though I am zoned for goats, I am still right next to my neighbor and no one wants to smell a buck or listen to them blubber!  That will make 3 at home and one away. I will only be looking for one more to top me off with 4 at home and one away.  I am still looking for a mini silky fainting doe.  My mini silkys will be my main investment and my main breeding. 

The other very exciting thing is that my husband and I looked at travel trailors!  I am hoping that within the next 1 and 1/2 years that we might be able to purchase one so that we can go to goat shows away and have somewhere to stay!  It is going to be so exciting!
