The boys' conquests!

Amethyst has the most gorgeous eyes!!!! Anyway, to the point of this post.  The goats have been paired off for next year's kids.  See below for the latest match ups. Daniel, our Myotonic buck, wearing his marking harness and ready to get down to business.  He has successfully bred the following does.  Our Myotonic doe Zephyr. Our other Myotonic doe Georgia.  Our Boer doe Tanzanite. Our Boer doe Andesine. We have to breed Tanzy and Andesine to Daniel because they are related to all of our Boer bucks.  We will have to get an unrelated Boer buck for next year. Last, but not least, our 50/50 Boer/Myotonic doe Amethyst.  Am I biased when I saw she's one of the most gorgeous goats we have?? Next up Jasper is being bred to all of the same does as last year.  Excuse Jasper's dirty face.  He looks so good!  He's getting bigger.  He was already over two hundred pounds, so I'm curious how big he's gotten now.  Below are his match ups. ...

Pregnant Does

 My Amethyst is SO adorable!! These pictures were taken on the 14th of January.  I just haven't had time to post them until now.  I'm posting these so that around mid January we can compare pictures to show you how much bigger they have gotten as they get closer to their due dates. Does due in February are... Coral.  This picture does not do her justice.  She is HUGE! She was being skittish because I was using my phone camera with no zoom instead of the real camera so I didn't get any other pictures of her, so here is an old one from the beginning of January. She is enormous.  I have my fingers crossed that she has twins this time.  I don't remember her being this big with Amethyst.  She's only ever had single births as far as we know, so I'm really hoping for twins.  Having singles can be hereditary and I'm hoping Amethyst doesn't take after her mom on that.  Single births are not ideal because you spend the same amount of money to feed...

21 Day No TV Challenge - 6 days in...

Six days ago I randomly ran across an article the someone had written about how her life had changed since giving up TV for thirty days.  I had already been thinking I spend too much time watching TV so I was intrigued.  I decided to give it a shot, but opted for the 21 day challenge because that's how long it takes to break a habit. I'll admit the first couple of days were easy because I was busy with work, but by four or five days it was starting to get really hard.  Today was the worst!  I was trying to come up with loopholes and ways to get around completing the challenge without considering it failed (bargaining?).  It made me realize I truly was addicted to TV (well binge-watching series on Netflix actually)!!  The reason today was difficult is because it's the first day I haven't been busy since starting the challenge and boredom finally set in. Something else I realized today was how it always affected my weekends.  Whenever I had to do somethi...
