2013 Show Season is Upon Us!!

4/30/2013

0 Comments

 
This weekend we will be attending the Lawrence County Expo in Bedford, Indiana.  This Sunday only ADGA dairy goat show will kick off the 2013 season for us.  One of the most exciting times for goat breeders is getting to shave off all the winter yucks, and uncovering what lies beneath all of that thick hair!  Which means, I will most likely be covered in goat hair and hoof clippings for the next couple of days.  Our goaties will be getting the full spa treatment to welcome spring!  That also means...updated pics!  If you are in the Bedford area this Sunday, visit us at the Lawrence County Fairgrounds!

Don't know where Bedford is?

Also note...we believe that Muse may have settled on her first breeding, which would make her due to kid within the next couple of days. Her ligs are soft, and she has started pawing the ground a bit.  I expect her to udder up any day now. She has been locked down in the kidding stall for the night, and we will see how she acts tomorrow to see if she is as close as we believe she is. More babies SOON!!

Change to Reservation/Deposits Effective Immediately

4/27/2013

0 Comments

 
As I often say, we learn something new everyday on the farm!  We are always striving to do things better, and making things more convenient for our customers and visitors. We have decided to change our reservation and deposit policy going forward.  From now on, we will only take verbal or written reservations for a particular breeding on a first come first served basis, and will only require a deposit ($100) when the kid is on the ground, and the reservation is upgraded to a sale pending.  We feel this is more fair to our customers, because we cannot control how many does/bucks the doe kids with, and transferring reservations to other breedings is very difficult.  I will be typing up an official sales policy this week and adding it to the website.

Additionally, reservations for Muse/Topper kids are now closed.

Next to Kid...

Busy, busy!!  Next up to kid is Jasper Pine SHH Trixie.  She is bred to Gypsy Moon CM Ain't Misbehavin. Today is day 144 for her.  Last year, she kidded on day 147, so I am thinking she will kid Thursday this week.  We are also watching Gypsy Moon SD Lady Anne.  Today is day 142 for her. She is bred to Gypsy Moon MO Starbuck.  If you are looking for some quality 4H wethers, we still have two of her boys left from last year. Check out the FOR SALE page for more details and pictures.

Big congratulations are in order to Teena Bagwell of Gypsy Moon Nigerians in Clinton, SC.  I received word that one of her herdsires, Gypsy Moon SB War-Paint, is now a finished Champion (pending paperwork).  War Paint is full brother to two of our senior does, Gypsy Moon Kat von D, and Gypsy Moon SB Muse.  Congrats Teena! You have bred some amazing animals!

What a Difference a Freshening Makes!

4/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Before I add the new kids to the website, I want to take a moment to show everyone the difference between Kat's first and second freshened udder.  When Kat came to our farm last year, her udder was lopsided and heavily scarred. I would never have dreamed that when she freshened this time, we would be so lucky to see such a beautiful udder out of her.  The difference is truly amazing. I wish I would have gotten a side picture from last year. That's where the big difference is.
Picture
First freshening, 12 hour fill, 4 months fresh.
Picture
Second Freshening. 18 hours fresh. Nursing triplets.

Second Freshening. 12 hours fresh. Nursing Triplets.
Please Note- Kat is not uddered up in these pics.  Uddered up pics will be added after May 5th.

Triplets arrived last night out of Gypsy Moon Kat Von D, sired by Gypsy Moon CM Ain't Misbehavin.  A massive buck with incredible coloring and moonspots, a gold doeling with heavy moonspots and white, and a dark gold doeling with some moonspotting .  All are healthy, happy, and thiriving. One doe will be retained.  The other doe and the buckling will be available.  Fluffy kid pictures later today. Stay tuned =)

Twin Willows Farm is now an official local dealer of PNP Nutrition goat feeds and minerals. These high quality feeds were developed by Jennifer Parrish, animal nutritionist, personal friend, and fellow Nigerian breeder.  It will be some time yet before I get ordering schedules figured out, and options and pricing up on the website, but I wanted to make the announcement. Farms who are interested in switching to PNP feeds can pick them up locally at Twin Willows. Visit the PNP Nutrition website to browse through which feeds are available. Expect more info to come around mid-May.
