Shami Goats- New Arrivals
Wow we are excited to have two new additions on the Ain Musa Farm here in South Sinai, Egypt. They arrived here in January 2012. The female doe is named Mocca and the male buck's name is Cappuccino.Mocca is 9 months old and Cappuccino is about 7 months. The secret is the Mocca is pregnant and is expected to deliver in July 2012. We have a secret that we'll tell you in just a moment.
Cappuccino is one shy buck. He absolutely will not let you come near him unless he knows you. We're feeding them barseem (clover) with a dry food mixture of crack corn, oats and tibeen.
We haven't set up their area yet so the will be housed in one of our quarantine rooms until their pen are is ready.
The Shami Goats have a excellent reputation for having some very tasty meat (we'll let you know), very lean and not a lot of fat. The handle the Summer heat here in South Sinai very well.
The Shami bucks can service (mate) with up to 35 females in a herd. So the ratio is 1 buck for every 30-35 does. We are seriously thinking about getting this unique breed registered.
The secret is the Mocca is pregnant and is expected to deliver in July 2012.
