 The variety of color at High Meadows this spring is amazing. We have spots,dots, stripes and even blue eyes. O Henry (GU2626) is throwing lots of color but of course several of our does also have color in their pedigree. The blue eyes were really not to much of a surprise since the buckling has several blue-eyed ancestors in his pedigree.
     Kidding season is always a joy and full of excitement as the babies begin to leave mom's side a little more. Gangs form with games of tag, king of the mountain and the ever popular "show me your horns." We are pleased with birth weights and over all look of the kids. As always there are some that stand out in the crowd, grow faster or just seem to have an extra" personality" gene. The time is here to start walking the fence lines every evening at sunset to make sure none of our little rascals are stuck in the fence. Their little horns are getting long enough now to let them slip thru but not back out. We have seen a black bear in a neighboring field and we hear the coyotes howling at night...so bed check seems prudent even with the guard dogs ever present. Weaning days are not far off but that's another story...sleep peacefully little ones and dream of days to come.
