Adventures in Breeding

Ever hear the expression, “If you’re not learning, you’re doing something wrong”?  I tend to take “learning” to new levels.  Our first attempt at having my does bred was definitely a learning experience!  The most important thing I learned was to confirm pregnancy by a blood test!

​Fast forward 6 months, I bought a buck, and then another… We now have two beautiful bucks and three pregnant does!  This time we did blood draws to confirm that all three are indeed pregnant.  We also had our herd tested and they are negative for Johne’s, CL and CAE.

We also designed our kidding barn and figured different areas to tweak.  We now have a few more weeks to make changes.

All three does are bred to our buck, King. This handsome buck is buckskin & white.  His offspring have a possibility of blue eyes.  King is a sire from Blue Moon Bayou Farm.
