Title: Meet our Mistake!
Post by: ballingall on April 19, 2014, 10:19:00 am

Our kidding hasn't gone very well this year- we've had 6 kids born, and only one of the 6 is a girl!


Not only that, the girl is supposed to be a BT type, as she should be 3/4's BT and 1/4 BA.




Here she is.....

She's a very cute mistake. I also suspect the AN boy of having got in on the act  :D

Haha, yes you are indeed correct, it does seem as if our AN male kid was very busy last year.....


She is a very pretty mistake, but what on earth to mate her to? If we keep her to that point anyway.

Depends what you expect of her. Mate her to anything you like (No good goat is a bad colour ;) )

Defo back to an AN male................probably be a fantastic milker as technically a hybrid.   Might a give a boost to AN udder.
