2011 Breeding Schedule

Millie came into heat today and was bred to Mojo so that concludes the breedings for this year and I have now posted a 2011 Kidding Schedule.   There is at least one blue-eyed parent in each breeding pair this year, so we should have a lot of blue eyed kids running around here in a couple of months.

I have also decided to put Mystery up for sale.   I purchased Mystery because she is an exceptional doe with very nice confirmation and a fabulous milking pedigree.  (Her dam is a 6# a day milker.) Unfortunately after a year she just hasn't been able to adjust to my grass based dairying practices and requires grain to keep her production up.  As a first freshener she was milking 4#s a day when on grain.  As a second freshener she peaked at 3# a day on just browse and alfalfa pellets.   Three months into her lactation I gave up and started giving her a little bit of grain - and noticed an immediate improvement in her production.  But since I prefer grass based dairying I  have come to the painful decision that she needs to go to someone with a traditional set up where her full potential can be realized.     She is AGS/ADGA registered,  CAE negative and could be bred to Mojo at her next heat at no additional charge.  $350
