Random Tuesday

I couldn’t sleep this morning.  2:30 am and wide awake.  This led me to clicking on book face.  I saw some post about Kalahari red goats.  I’ve hear of em before.  Knew just a bit about their background and have seen a few in Texas.  I googled a couple of websites and read one with a lot of info about the Kalahari red goat.  The contact name on the site was Tollie Jordaan.  I hadn’t heard that name in over a decade.

A decade plus ago, while flipping rocks all over the state of Texas, we ended up at Paul Payne’s.  There was a  South African at his place—Tollie Jordaan.  The discussion didn’t take long before it became apparent that the original South African boer goats and the wether goat industry were getting ready to head completely separate directions.  They did.

Now, there is a place for the purebred Boer goat and their breed standards.   And there is a place for wether-type goats.  Both have their positives and both have separate & yet some of the same negatives.

At 3 am, a movie was starting.  I had seen pieces of it before, but never the whole thing.  I watched it and it may very well be Will Ferrell’s worst movie.  Semi-Pro.  It was so stupid, yet I watched the whole thing.

We’re still breeding a few does here and there.  Mainly, a couple of young ones that happened to be cycling and I opened the gate.

Have a good one and a better tomorrow.
