I think it's safe to say that Muse did not settle on her first breeding because her first due date has came and went. So, that would make her on day 145 today, and finally...babies any time now! Her ligs are very soft, and we are keeping a close eye on her. Doe reservations on her kids are now closed, but bucklings are still open. Of course we are thinking PINK!! I got her entire body shaved today, and although she wasn't very happy about that in the beginning, she quickly realized that I was helping her out. She spent most of today underneath the pine tree in the front pasture. She looks a bit less miserable without all that fuzzy hair. Will update as she progresses. =)
 I have four male India Blue Peacocks for sale. A couple of them are pied. They were born last July. We have too many for our three hens. $60 each or 2 for $100. Need gone ASAP! Send me a message or call 765-337-4348. Thanks!
Here is a list of items we bring to shows, with the hope that this list will help someone else prepare. If I missed something, contact me and I will add it to the list.

Twin Willows SB American Honey (Jasper Pine Precious X Gypsy Moon MO Starbuck) was Reserve Grand Champion Junior! Our next show is on May 18th here in Cass County! We are so excited to have a show close to home. If you are a Nigerian breeder (or ANY dairy goat breeder) YOU should be there! Trish Rash is the judge for this one ring Jr/Sr doe show. There is also a one day milk test and a wether fun show. If you need a showbill or an entry form please contact me! We hope to see you there!
Also, I will be posting a tutorial shortly about what we bring to goat shows. It is extremely important to have a list (I forgot the extension cord this time!) and I want to post our list of show items to help future showmen. Stay tuned! 
Two years ago, on May 2nd, our family farm was born. =)
