Dave has a nice Cou Clair doeling. Maybe you can talk him out of her. Smile

My son raises Boer goats. There is a huge difference between the meat and dairy breeds.

Dave has had a fantastic year and produces great goats. It's dangerous to visit his farm. Temptation can take over! Big Grin

Interesting that she definitley had 3 separate eggs .

I dont know about the dairy breeds but in meat breeds singles are selected against , and twins and triplets selected for. I know of two herds where a dam that singles a 2nd time is going out the door. It makes good sense when you are selling pounds weaned.

Dave has had a very good twins and triplets ratio this year.

If you were closer the little cou clair girl could have a new home. I am going to be adding a diary doe this year.

Daves place is on my list to go see, he is doing his herd right from all that I can see here.

I am buying Kikos for a little more frame, we shall see what will be. Its going to be awhile before I have any available for meat. I am sure extra bucklings can become pack goats, which is why I am buying these. But, I am going to add a dairy nanny, either Alpine or Saanen.

I do like goat milk in my oatmeal, coffee, and making Feta. In Israel I made some very good Feta. Had a waiting list for it.

Life goes on, and better with goats.

I am seeing quite a few of new(to me) mini breeds of goats. These are sure cute !
