Very exciting to have babies on the way!! As you said, the issues with the girls settling was experienced by many breeders. I'm wondering, as crazy as it may sound, could the weather patterns be responsible? It's been a crazy year weather wise! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!!!❤🐐❤
I would say anything is possible. We tried using CIDRS and for the most part last year they worked first time (with the exception of Skye) this year pretty much all of the last 8 short cycled. All but Dicey and Butterfinger which is interesting because they will both be FF, and they are literally a year apart in age. Some say it's because it's late in the season but Moon was bred months ago and didn't settle. It's very odd!
Welcome!! To obtain permanent champion status you need 3 grand champion wins AKA 3 legs. One of those legs can be a dry leg which means the doe wins that before they ever go into milk. The age limit for this is 2 years old. After the age of 2 they have to win legs in milk. Some even call those "wet legs" because they are in milk where the "dry leg" is not in milk. 😊
