Perfect little uns if only there were females ::)
-
oh, they are so pretty. :)
-
They are pretty and they'll taste good. ;D
-
Yup - they're destined for the freezer sadly.......but I'm hoping to have those skins back ;) ;)
-
So pretty - and spotty ;D
-

-

You could always try driving them as a pair ;D
-
I didn't know you could cross a goat with a dalmatian! ;D
-
Its bloomin typical isn't it. The best ones are always the boys !!! Been trying to breed a female like this for the last 2 years as the male is mottled, and up until now, only had 'patchy' coloured kids (male and female) but these......are something else......darn it :P
-
could you offer them as stud? try and swap for one similar but unrelated, to get more chance of breeding a female?
they are beautiful :)
-
They are very similar to the father - I saw him in Oct, he is a lovely marked male
-
Would defo keep one back & also repeat the mating. Castrate the other one & they can live together.
Colouring like this can't be put in the freezer if the breeding is good enough !!!!!!!!
Who are the parents by the way ?
-
Mum is an Ivans and buck is a Klimova. Mum not been milk recorded although does have a nice udder. The kids are very prettily marked but IMO heads aren't really good enough for stud males. I had a male kid last year who had 'splashes' of colour on him and he had a fabulous head and he went on as a stud male, but these two are rather 'feminine' looking. :-\ The dam's Mum is due to kid in a couple of weeks to the same buck and so 'fingers crossed' ::),

Well sometimes you have to keep your stock persons head on and make the choice that is logical.
and sometimes you have to stuff it all and keep em cos they are too cute for curry ;D
