Well okay, we weren't really looking for a spare buck, instead we were looking for a buck that would compliment our existing herd, as well as bringing in completely new bloodlines.
What we found was a super buck! He's just 10 months old, has no name, but brings with him a whole heap o' good looking lines!
My goal has been to own an animal bred by Capriole Boers and even more, one with Obsession in their background. This guy brings me that line. That's on the dam side, on his sire's side, he brings EGGS! I didn't know if I would get a doe or a buck - but when this buck was presented to me, I couldn't hardly wait to add him to my herd.
This brings our new additions (none of which are here yet) to 2 new does (from Lookout Mountain Boers) and 1 new buck! We are still waiting on our 2008 kids - and as you know if you have paid any attention at all, I am NEVER going to NOT know when my animals are breeding!
As part of my "real" job, I travel around the US promoting the company I work for AGS Internet Services and selling websites and web services to the RV Park & Campground Industry. What I have figured out is that I leave on Sunday for New Orleans for 5 days, and I'm just certain that these girls have all made a note of the fact that I'll be gone, and are waiting until that time. (My husband is SO not pleased with this possibility!)
So, with the new animals coming soon - and the kids coming when they get around to it, we're definitely on our way to being a real goat farm!
