My goodness. I just typed out my goat waiting list, and organized it by date that they reserved because the next kidding season is soon...
I just counted and I'm at over 80 doelings. Not counting bucklings, which there is probably another 20...
That is 100 babies! There is no way in heck that I will have 100 babies.
That is only from 2014/2015, older than that I just took them off the list since they haven't shown any interest since. That also doesn't count, all the babies I've sold last year.
I've been telling people that the list was long and that I couldn't guarantee I would have any, (most likely not) but I didn't realize how long...
If all the goats took, I currently have 12 does pregnant...
Plus the 9 at mom's that have already kidded, which only had 6 girls! (Buck year)
Yikes! I'm hoping some have changed their minds. Otherwise they are going to be waiting for a while.
I guess I'm going to have to start turning people away. That's a shame. The problem is I can't make my herd bigger because I need to sell them, not hang into them. I bought 5 last year from another breeder, but I have just as much trouble as other people do, and had to wait years for them, and drive 24 hours one way!
I might be raising prices again next year. I can't keep up with demand.
Holy cow... uh goat

How is your new job? Do you miss your previous employment? We're all looking forward to the next instalment of Goatee. I'm guessing you are really busy and hope all is well.
