Tiny Colors Farm

Born 05/27/2009 these two girls (out of triplets - mom was new and didn't get the first doeling cleaned off in time to save her) are gorgeous!  The larger two girls (one survivor) are rich deep red with tons of bright white and a couple dark brown spots like Mom (Off UM Screamer - Kary Dairy Udder Madness x Roc 'N Ewe K Earth Angel) has.  The smallest of the three is mostly bright snow white with scant reddish gold spots on her lower legs, the back of her neck, her face and three spots marching along her spine from her flank back to the base of her tail.  Now that Mom has had a chance to "chill out" and get over the trauma of birth she's turning out to be a pretty good mom and both survivors are great little nursing machines, eating their fill often and well.  These girls will be raised with Mom but mostly in the house for a few days, then watched closely as I'm not sure if this mom really "gets it" just yet.  Both will be offered for sale as I don't have the show time to do their great pedigree justice; with their sire being the 2008 AGS National Grand Champion Buck, they should have the conformation and personality to do very well.  And the dam's udder is just as fantastic as I've come to expect from Leah's herd (Odds Are, formerly Odom Family Farm / OFF). 

So far this May we've just had the one - a single boy out of Lost Valley KW Avalanche by Tiny Colors Take A Chance and he's a very nice boy!  Avalanche has yet to give me any daughters (her total now being seven boys over four freshenings) but she's such a nice doe I'll keep giving her chances.  In the meantime, here's the golden boy; he's not as long in the body as I'd expected but is very dairy and looks like he'll have nice body size and good angulation.  I'm also liking his chest, his elegant neck and how well they blend together and that nice expression.  The solid gold doesn't hurt, either!  All four feet point forward, of course, and he's showing nice width between the hocks in a natural stance (darn, I looked THREE TIMES and it was STILL a boy!) and seems to have a nice topline although I can never seem to get a good picture of it.  Unlike most singleton boys he's rather sweet and friendly with us and isn't very spoiled at all - must be the doe's experience as she even makes him nurse on both sides and will walk away if he tries to finish his meal all on one side.  This one will be available for sale, possibly as a buck (pending evaluation) or as a wether that can go as a companion to any of our other goats.  I'll be trying to get a decent shot of his mother's wonderful udder this evening at milking time.
   
Here he is making friends with his half-brother (out of a full-size doe) while they both check out the front entryway.
