Peekaboo 2012

Peekaboo (Northern Fork Bog Peekaboo) was introduced last year when we brought her home.  She was purchased bred and kidded twin bucklings for us on Memorial Day 2011.  This year, she is bred to our buck, Sunday, and is due between March 4-16, 2012, but if she goes less than 150 days, we could be looking at 2/29.  Last year she had great udder texture, but didn't stay in milk as long as I would like, so I am excited to see if she improves this year.  She looks/feels about like she did last year, so I am hoping for at least twins again from her.  Here is her pedigree again (she is ADGA registered):


Sire: AGS MBF Kimbers Buck O Gunner
       Sire's Sire: AGS Woodhaven Farms Buck Owens
       Sire's Dam: AGS MBF Kimber
Dam: Frasers Eclipse
       Dam's Sire: AGS Tupence Matrix
       Dam's Dam: AGS Foxmeadows Luna

Meet Ali

Ali is our herd queen, and she rules her herd quite firmly.  She is also nearly six years old and is an old pro at kidding.  She is due possibly between March 4-16, 2012, but more likely around April 8, 2012.  Her AGS registered name is Mustang Creek Alibi.  Her pedigree:

Pictures are linked where available.  All picture links will tae you off-site to where I found the picture.  I did not take any of the pedigree pictures myself.

Sire: Maple Breeze Kodiak
       Sire's Sire: OTR Magic's Harlequin
       Sire's Dam: Phantasma QRMS Bobbie Socks
Dam:  Poppy Patch Constant Comment
       Dam's Sire: Copper Penny Black Tie Affair (scroll down, he is the first reference sire)
       Dam's Dam: Ponders End PN Ballerina


Ali is bred to our buck, Sunday, and the breeding should produce blue eyed kids, as both Ali and Sunday have blue eyes.

Meet Amber

Amber is our sweetest doe, truly our "puppy dog" goat!  Her AGS registered name is Mustang Creek Amber.  She is due to kid March 4-16, 2012 (but could be as early as Feb. 29, if she doesn't go to 150 days).  She is almost six years old and is an old pro at kidding.  We brought her to our farm last year after she had kidded, so we are excited to see what she produces this year!  Amber's pedigree:

Sire: Maple Breeze Kodiak

Dam: D&D Tiny Toes MB Roberta
       Dam's Sire: D&D KB Moneybroker
       Dam's Dam: Orchard View Dreamsicle


If you go another two generations back in her lineage, your have several ARMCH and MCH, as well as Goodwood, Twin Creeks, and Gay-mor great (and great great) grandparents.

Amber is bred to our buck, Sunday, and may produce blue eyed kids (Sunday has blue eyes).

Meet Lindy

Lindy is our youngest doe, and is due for her first kidding between February 29 and March 16, 2012 (so from Feb. 24 onward, if she went early).  Her AGS registered name is Mustang Creek Lindsay.  She is almost two years old.  Her pedigree is:

Pictures are linked where available.  I did not take these pictures, so I have linked off-site for you to view them where they originated.

Sire: Kids N Kritters Earthquake (first reference buck on this page)
       Sire's Sire: Lost Pines KW Foxglove *S
       Sire's Dam: Kids N Kritters My Angel
Dam: Camanna MM Puela
       Dam's Sire: Camanna FJ Majestic Merlin
       Dam's Dam: Camanna QR Paprika

I am really excited to see what her udder looks like as a first freshener.  She has nice long teats, so we are hoping for a great milker!  Lindy is bred to Sunday, and since he has blue eyes, we may get blue eyed kids.

Meet Peekaboo

Peekaboo (ADGA registered: Northern Fork Bog Peekaboo) is the most recent addition to our Nigerian Dwarf herd.  She is a beautiful tricolor doe with frosted ears and muzzle and is quite sweet.  She came to us already bred to Lily Creek Farm JS Bo.  She is due the first two weeks in June and we are very excited to see her kid(s)!  We have our fingers crossed for at least one doeling!

So far, Peekaboo spends her time in the goat pen in her own kidding stall, as our herd queen is a bit ruthless and really like butting the other girls in the side (not good when the one being butted is very pregnant!).  They do get to spend the daytime hours in the pasture together, where Peek has room to get away if she needs to.  I assume they will work it out after Peek has kidded and is in the main pen with the others.

Peekaboo is a sweet doe, but still a bit shy.  She is easy to catch and willingly walks on lead to and from the pasture each morning and night.  Tomorrow, she starts her milk stand training, as we will be milking her as soon as she kids.  She will also be getting her "kidding hair cut/shave" this week so we can keep track of her progress a bit easier (as well as keep her clean after she kids).  Should be interesting to see how she does with the clippers!

Later this week we will start taking udder progress pictures, to see how she grows and changes as those babies get closer!
