    I finally know that Honey has the honey colored tail, thanks to this video I can tell them apart, well at least from behind. 😆 A small tip for breeding season baths, Dawn works best when diluted with water. Meaning additional water in the bottle will be magical. That is one reason it works so well for cleaning wildlife after an oil spill. 💜

    I told you Anna was telling the goats that Mom said go, go!!! I think taking the baby girls to the show as Juniors and see if they can get Champion legs, would be awesome to continue to the Obie line. That would give them a extra leg up when they start really showing.

    I know you have been doing breeding the same for a while but have you considered doing things differently this year? There are those who say that if you want to try for more doe kids you should only leave the doe in with the buck for a few hours when she is in a standing heat. Considering that you have had so many bucklings the past few years I thought you might want to try something different. It would mean more work probably, but I don’t know, if it works might be worthwhile.

    @inglis7086 2 роки тому

    I don't understand why you don't breed to younger two 2 months later - it's not perfect but plenty of cow people have a heifer herd, and cow herds that are breed and have babies at different times - 2023 season they go in to the breeding program with the main herd
