Spring 2010

Wow, can't believe it has been sooooo long since we have posted anything to the blog!  We do use Facebook now and actually more regularly than the blog, but certainly should not neglect the blog as we know not everyone uses Facebook!  

The past two weekends have been busy for us at Majenli Dairy Goats with 8 does freshening resulting in 10 doelings and 5 bucklings.  We are extremely pleased with the kids produced using our two new bucks, Welbian Farms Zoltan and Little Orchard Zip Code.  Although currently very young, they look really correct!  And just for fun, we got LOTS of color this year!

Spring is in the Air

After our February snow storm and a long winter, it seems soooo nice to have the sun shining and 40 degree temps again here in NY.  Many months of seeing white and gray has gotten to be enough for us, and we are anxiously awaiting our spring kiddings.  Our Lamancha does will be freshening the first two weeks of April.  Immunizations have been given and bellies seem to be growing before our very eyes.  We are excited to see the results of our fall breeding choices!  We are feeling a little bit envious that so many breeders have kids on the ground, but in reality, April is the best time of year for us to handle freshening does.  We like to wait until our NY temperatures are a little more predictable to ensure a more successful kidding season.  We will post baby pictures and stats when kids start hitting the ground :)
