Our New Herd Sire

The exact buckling I had been hoping for from was born on March 5th. He is out of Prairie Wood Bonita Chica by Itty Bitty Acres Huckleberry. This cross has turned out such great kids that Jennifer has done the same breeding three years in a row. I am super excited to add him to our herd! He is from Thundering Hooves where my favorite doe, Springbok, is from, as well as my darling Nova. I love using black and white bucks so that all the color pattern genotypes in my herd are expressed in the babies. He has blue eyes and is moonspotted as a bonus! I am still working on a name...

New Scratching Post

Just moments after I screwed the scrub brush to the fence post Juliette, my Guernsey, went to work on all of her itchy places. None of the Nigerians she shares a pen with figured out what it was for so she got it all to herself!
