its been a big two weeks. We don't get to many shows these days but we made it out to support the DGSA Victorian Branch show at Ballarat last weekend, and Noorat Show yesterday.
Thanks to all the organisers and other competitors, and of course the judges for taking the time out of their busy schedules to make these shows happen. We were also fortunate to have some great helpers Renate, Evie, and Janine, which made it all possible so many thanks to them as well!

We were fortunate to have some great success, at the very cold and windy Ballarat Show with Valkyrie taking out Best overall Udder, Champion Toggenburg, Champion milking doe and Best exhibit, and we also had a lot of individual class wins and placings, but culminating in success with Champion goatling (lamancha -Liza) and reserve champion goatling (togg -Visage), Champion doe kid (Togg -Vivacious) and reserve champion buck (lamancha -latitude)

and at Noorat, Valkyrie again took out Champion Toggenburg, Champion milking doe and Best exhibit. Visage took the reserve champion goatling, Vivacious champion doe kid, and champion buck went to Latitude.
Pictures from Noorat bc Ballarat was atrocious weather.

This little one was touch and go at birth but with some extra care she has doubled her body weight in 10 days and is going great guns- and she definitely knows when a bottle is close by!

Thanks to Arlo for the expert kid wrangling while here as a veterinary student this week.

It's clearly the season... babies arriving thick and fast at the moment. Here is a cute photo of the quads that arrived last Wednesday from our AI with Oak Apple Ciaran x First Fleet Evening Sky. 2 boys and 2 girls. Mum has an amazing udder so we have big hopes for these guys.

Thanks to Oak Apple Farm for making this happen!

It's so hard to get good natural (not set up) photos of kids... This guy is a current favourite. Yet to be named, a lovely Toggenburg buck kid from Roden Rialto Venus and by KBARC KCLVC Dash of Tabasco (IMP). Pictured at 5 days old, he is going to be a big boy. His sister is lovely too but too quick for me...

its been too long, so its well past time to introduce some of the new Nigerian Dwarf kids!
these are our imported embryo babies by Wood Bridge Farm Unbelievable!
2 girls and a boy. All doing very well and growing fast.

all our thanks go to the whole team, we could not do this without all the support!

He's had a big day, biggest day of his life!
The poor fella is tuckered out. He doesn't know it yet but he will hopefully be an integral part of the future development of the Nigerian dwarf herd here. As yet unnamed -this is a little buck that began life as an embryo in the USA. He has big shoes to fill.
We will announce all the new arrivals when they have had a bit of time to unfold fully. For now we are keeping warm by the fire on a very cold wintery day, and just enjoying having babies again.

This guy has done some amazing things for the herd. Tilted Kilt Marvels Fury (pictured left) throws beautiful wide udders with extended forward attachments and excellent teat placement. His son has passed this on as well. AND his daughters are beautiful to boot. We are looking forward to seeing Roden Miller Valkyrie's (pictured right) kids by Fury in a couple of months! Thanks as always go to all that contributed to our ability to produce these future kids. In this case it is a long list as behind Valkyrie including a beautiful foundation doe from Blue brook Stud and three imported toggenburg bucks, plus Fury!

We feel as though we have hit the jackpot with one doe confirmed settled to new import Rockin-CB Legends of China. This buck's pedigree reads as a who's who of Lamancha breeding including predominantly Rockin-CB and Kastdemurs with some Lucky*stars stud. He is descended from Lamancha royalty with 6 of the 7 does in the first 3 generations of his pedigree being scored 89 or over AND permanent Grand Champions! in addition, some of his buck relatives can also claim those same titles. His popularity in the USA is shown by the large number of lovely and productive progeny registered to many herds, and we are looking forward to seeing his kids here soon.
Thankyou to all that made this possible including Smartrepro and Heather Janke.
