We're not sure what we're going to do yet,the Nubian's nice but not as friendly as we like so we're going to think about it for a day or two and I'll let you know what we decide.

Okay, thanks for keeping me updated.  Look forward to your decision.

Yes, does sound like it will be a tough decision.  The moonspots definitely made it difficult - if it was just for the age difference, it would not be a difficult choice for me, but those moonspots!!!!

Hi Goatzrule,

Had a thought while I was milking this morning.  If you have someone who could care for your animals, we have a tiny house on our homestead which is currently empty.  If you wanted, you can stay overnight in it.  It has a shower, queen bed in the loft, composting toilet, propane heater and wood stove.  The "couch" downstairs is narrow, and I'm not sure how long, so not sure it would work well for sleeping.  Jeanne

I do not.  I could do the measuring tape thing - but I don't know if that is accurate for a buck in rut - and he definitely is today - one of his sisters in heat today and Mom coming into heat.  I'll facebook and see what it says about that.
