His coworker just had some bad personalities.<br /><br />Danielle, I'd be fine with Saanens except the seasonality. We have 1 goat that's seasonal (only bred in fall) and that's really all we can do and keep milk flowing all year. :-(Homesteading Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883188912689929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-58911554322870364692011-05-10T11:39:08.958-07:002011-05-10T11:39:08.958-07:00Agreed!

The guys he works with aren't helping, telling him what a pain there's were before they gave them up.Danahttp://roscommonacres.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-79677045410803271792011-05-03T09:53:44.434-07:002011-05-03T09:53:44.434-07:00Weeelllllll, I hadn't heard that they are the ...Weeelllllll, I hadn't heard that they are the unhealthiest, but that's certainly the case in our heard. Poor Helen is just shaped all wrong. I don't know if that's something they're more prone to or not. Our lamancha is great. She gives a little less milk than Helen, but is more consistent with it. I would like another nubian because they can be bred any time of year. I want milk all year, not just spring to early winter.Homesteading Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883188912689929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-51449007016480327932011-05-03T04:35:32.933-07:002011-05-03T04:35:32.933-07:00I definitely want 2 goats.

I loved the Nubians I met this weekend, but my research tells me that they are the unhealthiest of all the breeds. What about LaManchas?<br /><br />AraMy Edible Yardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772739943580445907noreply@blogger.com
