Kidding Schedule

Please read through the updated Sales Policy before reserving or purchasing from Red Lotus.


  To reserve a kid, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a place in line.
Any money paid into a sale will not be returned. A contract of the sales policy will be sent to every buyer; the buyer will get to keep a signed copy and send one back.

ATTENTION:
All bucklings will be wethered unless reserved before the age of 7 - 8 weeks old; I just don't have room to keep little bucky-boys if they don't sell.
If you want a buckling, please specify
.


If you see a pair you like? Not sure what you're looking for? Just plain curious about a particular buck or doe?

Fall 2012
RESERVATIONS FOR SPRING '12 ARE -- OPEN.
THE WAITING LIST IS -- OPEN.
Reservations will open once breeding takes place
or when the pairings are set.


There is no fee to be placed on the Waiting List for Fall '12 kids.
It secures your spot in line for any extra kids that we end up with before they are openly advertised. Buyers must deposit and place a reservation in order to have their initials marked down on the schedule and thus take priority over those that choose to remain on the Waiting List.

People on the Waiting List will be contacted after those that actually placed reservations and have picked their choice of kids.
Everything is operated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

I am best contacted via the internet; reply time will always be very prompt! 
Contact Me
to be placed on the Waiting List or to make a reservation.

October 2012

1st doeling, and possibly buckling, will be breeder retained.

No reservations will be taken on this pairing; a waiting list will be established for any available offsping.

Notes:
 I have to thank Blunderosa Nigerian Dwarfs for allowing me the chance to breed my new girl Harmony to her gorgeous guy Cody!

I intend to keep at least one doeling from this cross and maybe even a buckling as a replacement for Cosmo. Holy cow these kids should be amazing! I expect really nice udders, really great dairy features, upstanding toplines and nice rumps with good feet and legs. It'll mean waiting longer to get Harmony home to my herd, but it will be worth it!

October 2012

1st doeling to be breeder retained.


Notes:
 I was going to breed my two juniors for fall, but they both need more growth before they go popping out babies.

That said, I am repeating this breeding. It produced some extremely fine animals that were improvements over their dam. These kids were solidly built and square all around. The toeing on was there but not too awful severe. Unfortunately the doeling I retained from this breeding last year was squished by another doe and died via suffocation.

Kitsune has a very nice udder that I would love to see improved texture on, and maybe some more capacity too. It is socked on however and doesn't move, she has nice orifices and correctly placed teats. They are large and plumb, easy to milk. Kitsune has a good medial on her also.

October 2012

1st doeling might be breeder retained.
2nd doeling reserved (NM)

Notes:
Beauty is just growing too slowly for me to be comfortable breeding her just yet. So she gets to wait past another breeding season, and Sky gets to take her place.

Sky is a nice doe but she could use longer teats and a little more capacity. Overall her comformation is correct and she is a nice dairy doe. Cosmo ought to add many desired traits onto their offspring. I expect really nice milky kids out of these two and I'm very excited about it.

October/November 2012

1st buckling reserved (CS)


Notes:
 I love Tribble. She has mellowed out nicely and become a nice milking doe, although since stepping into the show ring my suspicions were correct - this girl is fit to be a brood doe rather than a show doe. She is a very dairy, angular doe, but she needs more substance and more corrected features all around.

I am real excited to see what these two produce. I'm expecting Comanche to add what Tribble needs onto their kids. I expect really large, correctly placed teats on the daughters, and bucklings ought to carry on these traits along with even more dairy character all around. These should be some real nice kids.

October/November 2012

1st doeling will be breeder reserved


Notes:
 I decided to have Harmony bred to Cody instead of Pocky here, but that's just fine! I'm pairing Pocky with Comanche now in hopes of correcting her teat placement and lengthening them out on her daughters. I'm expecting better toplines/rumps on the kids and a whole lot of dairy character. These kids are going to have a ton of milk in their pedigrees, I have confidence in what this pairing could yield. I hope Pocky blesses me with a bunch of doelings to choose from, as this may be her last time kidding for me before I decide to sell her.
