Lost our Castor Herd buck-Sad but frustrated

Of course this happens to me... My castor herd buck, my only castor buck btw, passed away. The doe I bred him with, did not take so I now have nothing from his line, because I also sold his two offspring.

Fiddle sticks! So I decided I'm just taking a hiatus from breeding this winter. I probably wont be bringing in anything new right now either until spring.. Only consequence is I wont have anything new to show come march, but I will go to that show and take the opportunity to bring in new stock.

I keep thinking maybe I'll start fresh with a new color but I really don't think that will do it. I think I'm just so frustrated with my no progress, but a lot has to do with like i stated in my other post that my lines were just not meshing together. With the new year we will be bringing in a lot more money between me and my husband, like triple more. I think I'll feel more confident then.

Plus my dad promised he will show my husband how to build Better windows for the barn which will create way better ventilation then I have now. and we will go to the scarp yard and get better roofing material rather then just the tarp we have now.

I also want to have another six hole cage, so I can better grow my herd. I think once I get more keepers then not I will feel like I'm getting somewhere.

2013 please hurry up!
