Fall Comes to an End

Another month has flown by as we reach the tail end of November; and what a beautiful November it has been.  Most of the month was an "Indian Summer" with higher than average temperatures and probably as much sunshine as we saw all summer!. Fortunately for us, we were allowed extra time to get all those last minute fall chores wrapped up before winter really sets in.  Goats are all down from the high pastures and hopefully bred for spring babies; water pipes are drained from our pond fed watering system; and shelters are set for the bitterness that winter will likely cast upon us once again. If the fuzzy coats the goats have developed already this fall are any indicator, we are in for a good ole NY winter.   Time to kick back and hopefully relax a little for the next 2-3 months and "think spring".

Fall 2009 Breedings

If all the Lamancha does settle, the does we plan to freshen in the spring of 2010 should be bred as of 11/15/09.  We should have nine Lamancha does freshening come April, not to mention lots of boer babies.  If you are interested in any doelings or bucklings please contact us between now and spring.  We hope to get a sales list completed in the near future.  We should have some outstanding kids to offer. We do not plan to hold on to bucklings unless they are reserved, so if you are interested be sure to contact us.  We do freshen our does later than many breeders, but we have found kidding out in the midst of the bitter NY winters can be extremely risky so, therefore, we tend to prefer very late March or April freshenings.
