For 2021, we will be freshening 10-15 does. We have 10 does confirmed to kid in March, and will continue with the other 5 does into the summer. We will participate in DHIR and DNA typing this year. Our show schedule will likely be light. Should Linear Appraisal be an option, we would absolutely love to be involved! I am so excited about our entire crop of milking yearlings, and this year's kids from Sonny and Laureate should be outstanding!
As I amend this in August of 2020, we can all agree that external events have not gone as anticipated. We have made it to two shows so far, and are participating in DHIR as well. It is STILL a great year! We are looking forward to a great year for goats in 2020. We are set to freshen as many as 20 does, and attend several shows, participate in ADGA Plus, and just enjoy our goats! We will see what the year holds. 2020 kids were weighted heavily toward bucks.
In 2019, we cut back our show schedule significantly, as we had a new baby at our house. We also chose to keep many dry yearlings and older does to reduce the chore load for the year. We showed at the Wyoming State Fair and the Black Hills Dairy Goat Association show in Sundance, WY.
