Georgia is black with random spotting, roaning, and frosting
Ronald is solid gold with random spotting, a white poll, and frosting.
Back in 2021, Georgia developed gangrenous mastitis directly after kidding. Her odds were not in her favor for surviving. Thankfully, she did survive. One of her mammary glands, though, does not produce milk. I had decided she wasn’t going to be bred going forward. However, my daughter wanted to breed her and had agreed to bottle feed the kids if necessary.
We didn’t breed any goats in 2022, but in 2023 Georgia birthed two handsome bucks and had no trouble keeping them fed.
Georgia has had 12 kids. Eight boys & four girls. Betty is her one doe we have retained.

Science is Fun & Genetics are Fascinating!
Please keep in mind this information is primarily for me. I’m posting it publicly in case others are interested. However, I don’t claim to know all the things. This is my method for keeping records of the genetics because I find it fascinating and I’m trying to educate myself.
