Fairlight and Hector are F1 Jings, Humphry is Fairlight's son so is an F2 Jings

Huckleberry is an F1 Black/Ram (I culled the other Black/Ram ram lamb as he was aggressive and jumped fences-he may have been finer, but was less crimpy.)

Fandango is and F2 Greyling and Gilroy is and F4 Greyling (Gilroy is a leased ram.)

Fife is an F1 Orion

Craigrothie and Skeld Ram are F1 Skeld (I actually wasn't going to keep the yearling, but his fleeces was very soft and he grew really well. He is polled so may be for sale as I like horned better.)

Kids!

I got a red kid out of two AAGBA whites!!!!! It is quite unusual to get colored of of AAGBA (pure) whites. He, if he turns out, will be my next colored buck. He is completely unrelated to my CAGBA goats, except for a couple out of the same AAGBA buck and colored does. This fall I will use the black buck and next fall I can use him as he will be too young to use this year.

One the left is an AAGBA X CAGBA (colored) kid and the AAGBA kid on the right. He is darker! He is actually the darkest kid this year. A lot of times the apricot kids fade to white when they grow up. I don't know if he will or not.

Here he is again in the front.
Here he is with his twin, a white doe kid.Triplets taking a siesta.
