Wingnut Farms Dairy Goat Herd will begin to use AI

If all goes as planned, this coming Saturday our dairy goat genetic pool will increase by 11 bucks. But not live bucks.  We are buying a frozen semen tank with 93 straws of semen and an AI kit. Just in time for the Fall 2014 breeding season, too. 

+*B Amberwood Jack Frost Northwind N0576493 2 straws
++*B Amberwood Jedi's Winter Frost (FS-91) N0784964 4 straws
++*B Cold Comfort Dutch N0393420 14 straws
SGCH ++*B Copper-Hill Alginons Breakaway (FS93) N0967801 2 straws
LeBasque Salene's S'prise N0784337 10 straws
CH Old*Glory Bolero's Ravel N1063736 5 straws
+*B Patch-Quilt-Farms Encino N0903075 5 straws
GCH ++*B Pine Land's Squanto (FS92) N0365659 7 straws
GCH +*B R&J Beau Jangles N0483803 6 straws
*B Walnut Fork Bonzai Spirit N0768263 8 straws

and 30 straws that were poorly collected, that the seller is giving away with the tank but asked that the buck not be revealed. But he's from a very good herd and I plan to use those to practice with at first. Won't hurt my feelings if all the attempts result in conceptions. 

Some very good old milking lines stored in that tank, looking forward to seeing what happens with our first foray into artificial insemination!
