Dancing Grace EM All The Rage

Ah my Raven. If you ever believe in fate and the universe working in your favor, Raven is part of my story. I sold Raven. She was the wrong color... Black goats are difficult to clip and I often felt my skills were lacking with the perfect black goat clip. My friend Laura loved black goats. Raven is an Empire Maker daughter and the daughter of a doe who didn't have an ideal udder for showing. I knew what Hank was doing for udders and felt comfortable selling her... Laura sold her herd in January and offered Raven back to me but the timing and goat numbers weren't right. I was reducing that age class. Well the universe reminded me again, that maybe she was meant to come home when her next owner decided to drastically reduce. I reduced my yearling class by then and had room for her to come home. After blood testing (she was in two fully tested herds, so I expected this), she was reintegrated back into the herd where she was born. She adopted a buck kid from another mom and we have a tiny peek at what her udder will be like. I cannot wait to get better pictures of Raven and see her freshen this spring!
