It never gets easier losing one, especially one that's made such an impact on our program.

JJ Boer Goats Huey (10847945) was a direct son of All Trumped Up *ennobled* and brought amazing quality and thickness to his kids. Feeling grateful to have kept back some of his daughters to carry on these bloodlines

Short cycling is when a doe comes in heat and then comes back in heat a few days later or any interval notably sooner than the normal 21-day cycle. While not all cases are caused by minerals, my first stop is always iodine in cases of short cycling or in does who cycle normally but don’t settle easily.

Wish was a four or so year old doe who had consistently taken 2-3 cycles to successfully settle and when she’d kid, she’d have only one or two kids, down from my normal 3-4 in that line. She had only had one or two does in those years of breeding and was heavy on bucks.

In advance of breeding season that year, I front loaded her with iodine by putting out kelp free choice a few weeks before breeding and leaving it out the entire breeding season. She settled on her first cycle that year and went on to deliver twin does, a first in her history. Her fertility was so improved that when a buck broke out a few weeks after she kidded, she became pregnant again.

Iodine deficiency is heavily implicated in all reproductive issues and in reproductive cystic issues, so starting there can often ward off the need for further fertility treatments.

With all the chaos here the past few weeks, we are a bit late on introducing our new buck, ADGF CROWN PRINCE (10978557). At only 9 months old he is already an impressive dude. Can't wait to get him on a set of does and see what he will produce!

It is with a heavy heart that we share our devastating loss. We had been out of town to say goodbye to my grandfather who passed early Monday morning. Unbeknownst to us, an electrical fire destroyed our kidding barn and shop that same morning, claiming the lives of 3/4 of our mama goats and all the babies born so far this year. Along with it, our daughter's main 4H breeding rabbit has also been lost. This is an unimaginable loss for us, as we’ve worked so hard to provide quality, healthy animals to our customers and our community. Getting home to see the aftermath has been a hard process, making the loss all the more "real".

We are truly grateful for your support over the years, and that of friends and family who have stepped in to help this week. We ask for your thoughts and prayers as we navigate through this. Please allow us some grace and continued understanding and love during this incredibly difficult time. Our 4H families are our favorite customers, and unfortunately our loss will effect some of them as well. If you've been affected by this loss -- please reach out and we will do our best to support each other as we heal ❤️
