Goat Breeding

We are indeed late in breeding the girls, but the job is being done.  We brought home their new love (Ha!) a few weeks ago, and poor Neville is being shunned by the girls.

So what that he's a little smaller and a little younger, he's more than happy to do his job!  Gerie was a downright pill, actively preferring the useless wonder that is Chester the Molester.  Through much ado, Ms. Gerie was finally convinced that Neville was a perfectly good male and now her due date (provided all "took") is July 19th. 

All of those hormones, though, through no fault of their own have infected Balvenie and brought her into heat a week early.  It's another randy few days in the barnyard while Neville works hard to win over this blue eyed beauty.  Neville and Balvenie will get to spend some quality time alone together in the small separate pen, so if all goes well she should be due about a week after Gerie. 

Adventures in goat breeding - never a dull moment!
