5/11/2014 0 Comments Happy Mother's Day to me!I love the udders my first buck, Maple Sunshine, put on his daughters and when it was time for him to move on to another home I thought I had plenty of his daughters in my herd. And then two years later I realized I had sold or traded away all but two. I tried to get the last doe kid he sired here back, but no luck. I knew the person that had purchased him from me had subsequently sold him out of state so it looked like I was going to have to be content with the two lovely ladies I had. And then out of the I blue, I had the opportunity to acquire the last kids he sired in Oregon along with their lovely dam Bristol. The doe kid (far right) has a little more white, but she is the same shade of gold as her sire and has his golden eyes as well. I wanted to name her something that used at least part of his name, but I was over ruled as we watched she and her brother romp through a patch of buttercups. Yup after consciously not choosing that name for the past seven years I gave in and agreed. So she is Buttercup and her brother has been nicknamed "Butterscotch" . He will be available a a wether when he is weaned.
