2012 Kidding Updates August 27
August 27,2012
Finally have updated some of our website with our Linear Appraisal scores. We were pleased with our session and as usual there is always something to learn. Now comes time to sit down and plan our breeding season while limiting the number of does we will be breeding!
I also have a lot of work to do on our website adding all of our new Hi-Land Saanen does. We finished two does this year and earned several legs on others. We will be attending the Big E in W. Springfield the end of September and that will just about finish showing for the year. We may attend the show in Sandwich, NH the following weekend but not quite sure yet. I really enjoy the show up there in New Hampshire. It is such a neat little fair!
We continue to whittle down our Lamancha herd. We have sold Crusader and three of the does which will leave us with Little Rainbow French Pie who will be 14 years old. She will live the remainder of her life here. She is probably one of the last of the Little Rainbow herd owned by Tom and Barbara Reed. We may keep two Crusader dry yearlings to see them in milk!
We do have our Spotlight Sale Kickapoo Valley Alpine buck Zeus for sale. He has grown into quite a handsome fellow but we are not going to be breeding any Alpines this year . The old girls will live in retirement.
Madison is going on 13 years old and continues to amaze us . She is rather spoiled but looking wonderful. We were extremely pleased with our Rendezvous daughters in milk and can't wait to see how they mature.
We are also downsizing our Oberhasli herd . We had a lot of doe kids born this year so must decide who stays and who goes. We are keeping 5 milkers .
We have gotten some lovely daughters out of CH Mcquitty Farm WMV Macabee. The Saanen kids are lovely and we are so pleased to have added quite a few of the Hi-Land herd .
We were worried like everyone else about the hay situation but thankfully, we have enough to get us through until next spring. It does help when you cut down on the number of animals you have.
Enough for now. Wishing everyone well. Donna

It has been quite a hectic year and I am finally finding time to update our blog. We will be listing only what we have left for sale which will make it easier to browse through. We have been to our first show in May and were very pleased to have the Best Doe in Show with two different Saanens . We also had a 4year old Oberhasli go Best of Breed in both rings with 25 milkers total. Our yearling and 2 year old Oberhasli were first in their class in the Oberhasli Specialy ring. Our yearling Toggs placed first and second in one ring and first in the second ring. Our 3 year old Togg went Reserve Grand in one ring. A hectic day showing three different breeds in two different rings!!!!
We have been very fortunate to have acquired some lovely Saanens one of which at her first show ever was Best in Show! Hi-Land Lotus. Thank you Jean Hurlburt for entrusting your favorite old girl to us.
We have sold our small Nigerian herd and have dramatically cut down our Alpine herd keeping only the old girls who will be retired. We may only keep a few dry yearling Lamanchas along with a 2 year old milker. Hard decisions to make but necessary as we wish to concentrate on our Toggs, Oberhasli and Saanens.

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
