Last Set of 2009 Kids Born

On Wednesday, June 3rd - the last set of kids were born for this year at Four Seasons Farm. With all the excitement about the Buck Show this weekend, it has taken me a little while to get these posted. Sienna, our only Nubian yearling milker for 2009 had 2 very nice buck kids. All are doing well, and the new boys will be looking for homes soon. We have named them Black Velvet and Jack Daniels. These are also the only 2 buck kids we have left that are sired by Tempo in 2009.

Tempo Wins at Little Falls Goat Show!

After our babies were born last week, we made a last minute decision to go to the Little Falls Goat Show on Saturday. We took 4 yearlings, 6 kids, and our Nubian buck - Tempo. Tempo had been shown before. As a yearling (2006) he earned Reserve Champion, as 2 Year Old (2007) he earned Grand Champion twice. So, all he needed was 1 more Grand Champion win to be named a permanent champion.

We did okay with our kids and yearlings in the Junior doe show. One first place, a few second places and a few bottom of the line placings. Then came the buck show. We had high hopes for Tempo, but weren't really sure how it would all turn out. Well, it went well! He was named Grand Champion Nubian Buck in both rings! This makes him officially a permanent champion! We are so proud! And then, to top it off - he won Best in Show in 1 ring! This has never happened to us before! I think we are both still flying in the clouds!

We have 2 buck kids left this year, sired by Tempo, and we are hopeful to find them wonderful homes.

June Baby Arrival

We had a new baby born last night (Tuesday).  Jasmine, one of our 2 year old Nubians gave birth to a lovely doe kid.  We've named her "Wild Tequila Sunruse".  As with all of our kids - there is a story.  We were both at work yesterday.  We have had a 4-Her comming to our place a few times a week after school to work with the goats and help with chores.  She usually gets to our house before we get home, so she sets up for milking, does some feeding and works with her animals.  Well, the phone rang a Laura's work - and it was her saying that she had been out to the barn and she found the new baby.  This was all a great surprise because the babies weren't due until Thursday!

What is not a surprise is that this baby is already spoiled!  She's a keeper for sure!

If you haven't seen this short video clip - it was done last fall (2008). I thought I would try to embed it to the blog.
