Breeding For An Elegant Dairy Doe That Dances Like a Ballerina and Milks Like a Cow

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT OUR 2008 KIDDING PLANS

Please see the main "Sales" page for more detail...


KID RAISING: For extra sweetness, we will be bottle raising most of our 2008 babies, as we have done previously in 2004, 2005, and 2007. Bottle babies truly shine in terms of their friendliness, trust, and adaptability to changes in their environments. Kids are weaned to grain and ready to go at ten weeks (we actually wean at 8 weeks, but observe the kids for a further two weeks to make sure that they are thriving without the milk component of their diet.)

BUCK KIDS: We plan to continue to wether most of our buck kids, so we expect to have a nice selection of "fixed" baby boys (wethers) for sale as pets in 2008. Although we are very pleased with our breeding stock and bloodlines, we want to see consistent quality in our kids and mammaries before we commit to herdsire sales. However, any truly exceptional boys out of truly exceptional dams will be posted on our Kids' Sales Page and offered intact.

RESERVATIONS: We are not accepting paid reservations, but do keep a list of kid requests. When the kid (or kids) of interest are born, we will provide notification. To hold chosen kids until weaning, a deposit of $50 per wether and/or $100 per breeding quality doe/buck will be required within ten days of notification. Deposits are non-refundable.

PRICING: We retain the right to adjust pricing after our "breeding quality" babies are born and we have had an opportunity to more fully assess conformation and potential. Prices will remain as stated for wethers and for babies "requested" prior to birth.

*$150 per wether or $275/pair
*$200/up for pet quality (no papers) doelings
*$350/up for registerable breeding/show quality doelings/bucklings

(Bottle Baby--Very Flashy Tri-Colour Buckskin)

This little girl is going to be very hard to part with; she's got personality galore and we have absolutely fallen in love with her endearing ways! But we can only keep a limited number of kids this year, so preference is being given to babies that carry our herd name. This doeling possesses an impressive pedigree--she is out of a Water Tabby daughter with a socked-on mammary, bred to a buck representing two of Lost Valley's best and most consistent animals--MCH Tae-Bo+*S and Shatarr, one of the cornerstones of the LV dam lines. There's both show and milking represented heavily in this little girl's lines.
