Meet the In-Laws & Groom

11/16/2010

Yesterday Ed & I went to meet Jacob, the buck who will mate with Annie & Sophia, my does. He is quite the good looking fella and has black & white spots like Annie. They should have great looking “kids”.

Jacob lives with Dottie & Milton Cross on their farm. Dottie has been raising Nubians for over 30 yrs. and is considered the Guru when it comes to taking care of Nubians. She & Milton were so warm, gracious and hospitable. I had such a great time and time did get away from us. We were there for 2 hrs. talking about goats and family. In my opinion that’s a great way to spend my time.

Dottie had me bring a washcloth which she rubbed all over Jacob who right now is quite stinky. Male goats in rutt are in desperate need of a good deodorant, but the ladies love that smell. We put the stinky cloth in a jar with a good fitting lid. I brought it home and when I think my girls are in heat I am to take the stinky cloth and dangle it in front of them. If they strongly react to the cloth as if it is an aphrodisiac then I am to quickly pile one or both in the SUV and quickly drive to Dottie’s farm. Once there, Jacob will meet Annie and/or Sophia and hopefully consummate the union. This should take about 15 mins. and hopefully 5 months later Ed & I will become the proud grandgoatparents of baby kids.

Dreamin of “kids”….Irene

Cold Moon Farm was such an amazing experience for our family. Meeting the animals, baking bread with Irene, sleeping like babies...it was over the top and wonderful."
