They were born on August 7, 2023. - *** REHOMED *** Kitten #1, Female, Tortoiseshell, medium/long hair (photos 1-3) - *** REHOMED *** Kitten #2, Male, Black with white on chest, paws, face, medium/long hair (photos 4-5) - *** REHOMED *** Kitten #3, Male, Orange with white chest and paws, medium/long hair (photos 6-8 and on the left in photos 10-11) - ***REHOMED*** Kitten #4, Female, Black with white chest and paws, medium/long hair (photo 9 and on the right in photos 10-11) Raised here on our small farm in Montana. These kittens are accustomed to people, farm animals, other cats, and machinery. They are eating moist and dry cat food. Their mother is one of our farm mousers and is training them to hunt by bringing them rodents to eat. These kittens would be good outdoor or indoor cats. They have been living outdoors, so they are adjusted to outdoor temperatures and sights (though they will need a warm, dry place to sleep if they are to live outdoors). No shots or early spay/neuter (our vet recommends spaying or neutering kittens at around 6 months old). We will not hold or deliver these kittens or meet for pick up -- they must be picked up at our farm. No returns or "trying out your pet." Before you consider adopting one, we expect you to be prepared and willing to properly take care of a kitten and to be patient while it adjusts to the new environment of your home.

Today, we got the lab results back for our April 29th 1-Day Milk Test, and 12 new does are now pending starred. Butterfat was lower than we would have liked (probably due to diet change), but quantities were excellent. The does are:

Everyone is healthy and vigorous, and Liesl is doing a great job mothering them all. The doelings' sire is Grand Design, and they are full sisters to two of our favorite young does, My Favorite Things and Raindrops On Roses, who will be 2-year-old second fresheners when they kid in the next week or so. We will probably let go of several of these doelings. They come with ADGA & AGS registration. If you are interested in them, please feel free to Contact us. Photo below is of the whole family taking a well-deserved rest shortly after the kids were born and got their tummies filled with good colostrum.  Tiddlywinks had triplets in the wee hours of the morning. Their sire is Grand Design. There is 1 polled, blue-eyed, buckskin doeling, 1 polled, buckskin & white buckling, and 1 flashy black & white buckling. We will most likely keep the doeling and possibly a buckling. We've bred Tiddlywinks to Grand Design three times now and liked the results every time, so it's about time we kept some kids from it. The other buckling will be available once we evaluate if we will be offering him as a registered buck or as a wether. If you are interested in these kids, please feel free to Contact us. Photo below is of the kids at about 12 hours old. The doeling is in the front, and other 2 are the bucklings.  Budgie had a pretty set of doe/buck twins yesterday morning. Their sire is Brisbane. Both of them have wattles, and the doeling is covered in moonspots. Brisbane is apparently throwing moonspots on his kids even though he doesn't have any obvious moonspots, because we've gotten several moonspotted kids out of does that haven't been known to throw moonspots with breedings to other bucks (Brisbane's sire has moonspots, which is probably where it's coming from -- the moonspotting gene can hide and "skip" generations). The doeling will be retained at this time, but if you are interested in her, we can put you on a waiting list. The buckling will be available after we evaluate if we will be offering him as a registered buck or a wether. He's a long, handsome little guy. If you are interested in these kids, please feel free to Contact us. Photo below is of the kids at 1 day old. The doeling is in the back.  Robin had quadruplets (2 does/2 bucks) yesterday. Their sire is Brisbane. Photo below is one of the bucklings, who will be available after we evaluate if he will be offered as a registered buck or a wether. We may also have a polled doeling available. If you are interested in these kids, please feel free to Contact us.  |
