Poor Isabella....

Look at my poor girl! I wasn't kidding when I said she was HUGE!!! Fingers crossed that everything goes well... She still has about a week or longer till her 145 (I lost her dates when my old phone broke!!! >:(

Just REALLY hoping everything goes well...

Those kiddos in there are FIESTY! They move on a regular basis...Somedays she'll be WIDE the other days she'll be super deep!

And I feel them kicking on a regular basis! That's one of the coolest things in the world, to feel the little babies kicking <3

Can't wait for kiddos (HOPEFULLY). I just want an easy delivery...Once I make it to the June breedings I'll be ok. Just a little nervous with the weather being bad and with me in school. I really really really don't want anything to happen.

Can y'all tell I'm a worried mess!?

I'm pulling my hair out anxiously! I wonder if my mom would mind if we kept her in our garage at home?! It has heat..............

Isabella's Getting Close!!

My first kiddos of the year are going to be from my first registered doe, K&J Pygmies Isabella (medium caramel w/ bellyband)!

She's my girl!! Love her to death, she's such a sweetheart. Her FF she kidded with triplets, and she's HUGE this time! Just as big, if not bigger, than last time! Praying desperately for an easy kidding.

She is expecting my first set of kids from 2xGCH Beech Creek Elite At-Apach (caramel). Pach lived down south for most of his life, soaking up the sun and winning pretty ribbons! He also sired about 32 kids while in Florida.... Plus a ton more that have not been registered!

She's due around Feb 3 (lost the dates when my phone got replaced) but she had been bred on Sept 11 (I just remembered all of a sudden!)

So anxious to see what I get as she is HUGE!!! (Bigger than when she had her massive trips 2 years ago!). Would just love a doeling, but will take healthy kids with an easy delivery...That would mean more to me than the world right now.


Doeling Retained (?)

Buckling Reserved: HT

Still taking one more doeling reservation as well!

Just praying for an easy delivery!




The proud parents! :) K & J Pygmies Isabella and 2xGCH & 3xRGCH Beech Creek Elite At-Apach!

2010 Buyers!

Thanks you to our 2010 buyers! The list goes as follows!:

2010 has been a great selling year! I have found awesome homes for all my available goaties this year!



First, I must thank Joe Perry of Perry Tent Rental in Fremont Ohio for purchasing my market wether, Gambler at the 2010 Sandusky County Fair.



And for those who purchased my Pygmies; thank you sooo much for spoiling them rotten! :) I know they all got GREAT homes so thank you to:

Scott and Jonell of S-J Farms

Ellie Rife

Shelby Morehart

Bloom family

Kadie Myers


Sold 8 Pygmies this year! 1 buck, 3 does, and 5 wethers!

Thank you again Tara's Rowdy Kids customers! And if you're looking to purchase for next year, contact me soon! :) Kids arriving Feburary-June of 2011.

Long Time, No Talk....

Sorry for not talking.... My life has gotten a bit busy to update much lately. School, band, and homework (plus farmwork) has been demanding alot of time this past year. So as part of the new year, one of my resolutions is to keep the blog 100% up to date at all times! Starting now!

For August kiddings we ended up have 1 doe and 3 bucklings. We ended up keeping Scar-Bar-O Ranch Ava and Beech Creek Elite John Henry's black buckling, Tara's Rowdy Kids Mr. Magic!
As for Billy Goat Co. Leighanna's accidental breeding...She was terrified of her babies and wouldn't take care of them so I had some cute little bottle babies! Tara's Rowdy Kids Oopsie Daisy and her brother Wicked Twister. Sadly, Twister was never quite right, and didn't live to be more than a mere month old despite the help of many wise goat friends and my family and I's efforts. Our little boy had come so far, it still breaks my heart to have lost him. But because of his short little life, I have learned alot. RIP little Twister, we all miss you <3 :'(

...............

On a lighter note; Sandusky County Fair also came and gone in late August. The goats all showed GREAT! And Tara's Rowdy Kids did AWESOME in the 4-H show! Here are the full results!

So I had a great time with my friends and goaties at the fair! It was a great time as usual! And pretty cool cause I got 2 trophys this year!
But it was a bit heartbreaking, as I had to say a permanent goodbye to my much loved Market Goat, Gambler. He was a very special goat, probably one of my favorites and he will forever be sorely missed. Thank you to Joe Perry for purchasing him from me.

Fall breedings have started, without much success. I still am not seeming to be able to get TreeFrog Pygmies Sugar Baby or Springwater Farms Karina to settle. Really disappointing :(
I think so far I've only got two does bred...
K&J Pygmies Isabella to 2xGCH Beech Creek Elite At-Apach
and Isabella's daughter:
Tara's Rowdy Kids Rosalie to 3xRGCH Beech Creek Elite John Henry

Isabella should be kidding in Febuary and her daughter Rosie hopefully should be kidding in April!
I still have about 6 or so does to breed for June. 5 registered and 1 grade doe! Should have a busy June! ;)

...............

Well I hope you all have had a Happy Holiday season!
Love to all,
Tara
