Emerald C Ranch

January - 2012 Kids!

What's new on the Ranch...

January 8, 2012
The kids have arrived! Narcissus and Maybelline have kidded and now we are just waiting on Praline to finish the 2012 kidding season.
From left to right above we have Nari's two kids, a buckling and a doeling that we've named Fiore. Then, there are Maybel's two kids, one doeling we've named Jasper and a buckling. Really spectacular color on those two doelings! We plan to evaluate the bucklings and wether as needed, but are offering them for sale. We have reserved Fiore, being the daughter of Nari. We have high hopes of her being an excellent milker like her mother.
We are also offering Maybelline and one of our Junior Does for sale. Check our sales page for more information!

We are gearing up for our 2012 kids from Praline (bred to Milkman), Maybelline (bred to Woodstock) and Narcissus (bred to Milkman). All are due in early to mid January. I'm expecting some good quality kids out of Nari. She is still producing about 3 pints a day and would continue if I were not drying her off.

Thank you to Sweet Blossom Farm for parting with Narcissus, our new herd queen, and our two new bucks Woodstock and Milkman! Nari is by far the most dairy of our goats, currently producing almost 3 pints of milk a day.

March 2, 2011 - Kids for Sale!!
This year's kidding produced two little doelings, one out of Rosie and one out of Praline. I'm calling Rosie's baby, Rosetta, a broken chamoisee with white markings and Praline's baby, Snowflake, black with white belt and markings... and blue eyes! Rosetta is the more independent of the two and has already, in less than one week, made it to the top log in their play area. Snowflake sticks right by her mom and was six days early, but we are spending alot of time with her to make sure she is friendly with people. Praline has quite a nice udder and seems receptive to milking. I'm looking forward to milking her once the Snowflake is weaned. I'll be holding on to Snowflake but will be offering Rosetta for sale when she is ready.
