Ranch Update!!

I am FINALLY doing a post. Sorry for not posting sooner, it has been almost a month since I posted last. We have added MANY more animals to our ranch.

~ Six new goats ~

We got six new goats from the Warren Livestock Auction in Leach, OK on July 8th, 2011. Two of them are registered as Grade A Nubians and both of them are in milk and possibly bred to a Nubian buck. There names are Target and Stormy. The other four goats are BEAUTIFUL Nubian doelings from this year, two are a beautiful moon spotted brown color and the other two are a beautiful black color with two brown stripes down there faces, a little brown on the backs of there ears, a brown stripe down there neck, and under their belly is brown.

Here are some pictures of them. I will try to post more pictures of them later.

This is Stormy.



This is Target.

Here is one picture of three of the four doelings.

~ One new Katahdin ewe ~


On July 22nd, 2011 we got a big Katahdin ewe from the Warren Livestock Auction. She is big and fat, but her teeth look just a little older and she looks to be pregnant. I will try to post some pictures of her when I can.

We got two BEAUTIFUL Alpine does on June 25th, 2011. There names are Tisha and Shelby. Tisha is in milk, and they are both bred and due the end of August. If you would like to see pictures and know more about them go here ~ http://goodgoats.blogspot.com/2011/07/meet-shelby-tisha.html .

~ New goats and sheep ~


Well, me, my dad and a few other siblings of mine went down to Windom, TX Sunday afternoon (August 1st, 2011) . We picked up 14 adult dairy does (7 in milk, 5 not in milk), 5 doelings, 7 bucklings and 10 hair sheep (3 rams and 7 ewes), from a goat dairy that was going out of business. The goats are all Alpines, Saanans, Lamanchas and 1 Nubian. And the sheep are Painted Deserts, Desert Sands and Mouflon crosses.


Here are some pictures of them. I will try to post some more pictures of them later.
