Good Bye - Sierra and her two doelings!

Another sad day to say goodbye to one of the sweetest breeds of goats I've ever met.  The Saanen breed is so friendly, quite and gentle.  Never had to worry about her head-butting any humans.

Our girl, Sierra has given us several kids of the past several years.  All were white with patches of tan or black.  She was the best mother, never having difficultly with birth; or getting her kids on milk and keeping up with her. 




2011 - Sierra gave us the first twin Saanen/Pygmy mix doelings (Pearl & Opal)

2012 - Pearl kidded triplets:  Saanen-Pygmy / Toggenburg-Nubian mix (2 girls - 1 boy)
2012 - Sierra kidded triplets: Saanen / Toggenburg-Nubian mix (2 boys - 1 girl)
2012 - Opal kidded twins:  Saanen-Pygmy / Toggenburg-Nubian mix (2 boys)
2013 - Sierra kidded triplets again:  Saanen / Nubian mix  (2 girls - 1 boy)

A total of 15 goats in 3 seasons - where she was either the mom or grand-mom!!!

I hated to get rid of her, but, if we are going to stick with one breed to avoid the mix breeding drama - Nubians seem to be the way we  should go.
