All has been quiet here as most of the kids have left for their Show or breeding homes. Phantom (black dapple wether), JCK Omega (red dapple doeling) and JCK Koalemos (red dapple buckling) are all that remain. I'm still trying to get Koalemos to a few shows this season before selling him as a Jr breeding Buck. Omega didn't get much interest (not show correct with a vertical fold in one ear) so I'll probably breed her next year, if she's still here, as with her being a triplet I highly doubt it's genetic. Phantom could of been a decent starter buck for someone but once he hit 12 weeks old and not reserved, I decided to band him.
We're figuring out which doe's are getting bred to which buck this year and will announce those pairings when they are decided. One thing we are certain of is that Lilith won't be bred this year and will probably be retired indefinitely as she's such a heavy milk producer, her udder attachment struggles with bearing the weight during lactation. We would rather her retire a kidding early than have possible udder issues down the road. This was a hard decision as every single one of her kids have been phenomenal and all are being used in breeding programs. But it's what is best for Lilith and that's what matters.
