My first Hot Dog kids have arrived. And I am very happy with them. He has really stamped them. Many of shades of red roan. Which I love. See the does pages for prices. Do not hesitate to contact me as I may negotiate on the bucks. I have way too many.

Aurora (12 years old) had triplets on Feb. 25. Two bucks and one doe. The bucks are available. One is real flashy

CH Deb had a doe and buck on Feb. 28. And her udder looks great. Both are available. See her page for prices. The doe is spotted.

GCH Arwin had quads. Three bucks and one doe on Feb. 29. One buck is available.

Magda had a doe and buck on Feb. 29. This buck is an eye catcher. He is for sale.

CH Glacier had twin does on Mar. 1. Which was a surprise because I thought she did not take. She showed no signs of being bred at all. These are pretty red roan girls. One is staying.

Cloud had two does and a buck early Mar. 2. Pretty red roans like her and Hot. The buck is sold, one doe may be available.

Samantha had a buck and doe Mar. 4. Real pretty kids. Both are flashy. Both are for sale.

CH Safron had triplet bucks born April 19. Her udder is beautiful. And Knight is the sire, he is throwing awesome udders. One buck is spotted much like Deb. The other two are red like mom, except one has brown ears.

I still have several well bred bucklings available out of Champion does from last year. I really need to move them as hay is sparse. Please contact me if you might be interested. I am negotiable.

SHOW UPDATES FOR 2007

Show season went very well this season. We had grand at every show we attended and often grand and reserve. Fiona was GCH 3 out of 3 shows. She finished her championship. She is really looking good this year after being uneven last year. At the Mid-South Fair she won BOB over Deb, her half sister, who was grand champion.
Safron, Fiona's daughter, also finished her championship this summer. She just got better as the summer went along. She was first in her class at every show and reserve to her mother more than once.
Pru was first or second at every show a a yearling milker. At one show she was third. She is doing and growing well.
Maxey was almost always first in her class, except one. She is really looking good. She improved as the summer went along in milk production.
Deb, who is a little to fat, still showed very well. She placed 2nd behind Maxey at most shows except for the last one. At the Mid-South Fair she was named grand champion.

TWO DOES GET MILK STARS

Our goat club sponsored a one-day milk test this spring. Unfortunately it was only a week after we held at judges training conference in Lebanon, TN. So no ones goats were milking well. They had been shown for two days pretty solid. It was hot. Lots of members did not do the milk test because of this. But, still 2 of mine and 3 of a friend's does got their stars. I had 3 just miss it, Madelain, Fiona, Safron. But, Edina and Arwin got theirs. They are now GCH does. I am so proud of them!

SOME NICE BUCKLING FROM CHAMPION DOES AVAILABLE

We have twin bucklings out of CH Arwin and Magic Man. These are nice looking kids. They were born in April. Plan for future breedings.

We also have twin bucklings out of CH Edina and Jedi Knight. We are getting very nice udders from Knight. CH Arwin is his first champion daughter which she did as a yearling milker! Edina is a beautiful doe, long a tall, level and beautiful breed character. Her udder is wonderfully attached and she really milks. Her only fault is that her teats are big around. But, Knight has been throwing narrower teats. These should be nice bucks for someone.

IN LOVING MEMORY
Last year was tough on our older animals. We lost Kirby the cat at age 17 last winter. Then we lost Jack, the very old beagle in July. In August Domino, age 15 1/2, who had slowed way down and could not hear well was run over. Dec. 28, 2006 Anna, our beloved Pyrenees passed away. She was going on 15 years old and was a wonderful dog. She took very good care of all her charges and will be sorely missed. This year we had to put down our oldest doe, Cascade, due to a bad kidding of quads that damaged nerves that would not heal. I miss the old girl who actually did not look or act her age.

SHOW WINS 2006

We have had a great show season so far.
Many grand, reserve grands in seniors and juniors at all the shows. Our milking yearling, Arwin, has finished her championship. She was 2nd place, 2nd udder at this year's NAILE in Louisville.She is a Foxwood Phantom's Jedi Knight daughter.
Edina was grand in 2 rings at the 2006 Music City Goat Festival and reserve on Sunday. Darling was grand, BOB, and BDIS on Sunday of the same show. This finished Edina.
Magda was reserve to Edina in the 2 rings on Saturday. Samantha (Magda/Magic Man) was reserve in 1 ring in junior does behind a lovely yearling of Paul Fox. She was 4 weeks old. On Sunday Gypsy was grand junior doe with Deb reserve behind her. A great weekend.

2006 BUCKS FOR SALE

I have 2 yearling bucks for sale. One I used this year on one doe and got one of my best kids. His name is Double Up and his dam is CH Safron and his sire is Magic Man. He is black with a white belt. He is $350. The other is a brown spotted buckling out of CH Glacier and Jedi Knight. He is leggy at this point, but his dam is my biggest doe. I had planned on keeping him, but just have too many. He is for sale $400.

2005 MID-SOUTH FAIR

We are very excited about showing at the Mid-South Fair this year. 8-year-old Madelain was named GCH, BOB and BDIS! And to top that off Fiona was RGCH right behind her. The in the junior doe show Jocasta was named GCH. I could have fell over. All the girls did well and we almost swept the group classes. Beside Madelain and Fiona in the senior does, Edina and Magda were 4th and 5th, Darling was 4th, (Edina and Darling have larger teats that he did not like and Magda was uneven) But, 8-year-old Cloud was shown dry and was 3rd behind Madelain and there were several in the class. CH Glacier was second to Madelain in champion challenge. There were four challengers. The junior does did well also. Gypsy, an April kid was second (the only time she has not been first); the February kids placed 1st, 3rd and 6th. They were Arwin, Deb and Maxey.
