Delivered: May 16, 2009
Three (3) Does!

Kid of "Vern" above.  As a second freshener this year her udder and teets has improved greatly.  She had a difficult delivery with kid #1 born breech.  It was a long and difficult labor (and scared the heck out of me, but all three does (and Whinnie) came out great.

DOB: March 31, 2008

Delivered: May 14th
One (1) Buckling

I bred Lulu young (first time for that) and probably won't do again, but she produced a fine buckling for us.  She is not too bad for first year in the milk stand and is giving a good amount of milk.

Bob N Trout Lolla

Sister of Lulu above. Lolla did not get bred in 2008. I will breed her in the Fall of 2009. I have high hopes for this gal.

Bob n Trout's Baby X (unofficially)
DOB: April 08, 2006

Born Easter Sunday, 2007.
Baby X (forever un-named) is our first (and only) kid born in 2007 and he is spoiled!  We were contemplating the name, "Ringo" (yes after the Beatle), or Hank, or Mack or Buddy...  but decided he is just our "Baby".

Critter Croft Carmen's Hero *Sr
DOB: April 15, 2005

Our buck used for breeding in fall 2008. I have tried for three years now to get a blue eyed kid and finally got one (1) doe with blue eyes this year.   Hero is a nice buck, too bad he smells so bad.  He gave us some really nice looking does and one buckling.  Time will tell what his girls udders are like. 

You know you're in the country when?....

 1. You check your muckers before you put them on.
 2. You wake up to the sound of a rooster.
 3. You schedule your day around feed times.
 4. You can sleep with the windows open and doors unlocked.
 5. You have a raincoat instead of an umbrella.

 6. Your garage is the most used room in the house.
 7. You wake up at the time most city folke are going to bed.

 8. You go outside to collect your morning breakfast.

 9. You don't care how you look to go out and milk or feed.
 9. You don't need a sink disposal system. Just toss food scraps out the back door. The chickens will eat it.
