Update on the goat......?

Honey sells for a good price around here...VA Just saw on news this week that VA will give you a full set of hive, supers, etc...so long as you put bees in within a certain time, like 6 months or so. I've considered that, it's several hundred in savings. Plenty around for them. My last hives...

Yep....the old pathway used to have runoff on left side. Long story from 25 yr ago...a tenant who lived in the far hill took some out!! We're re ditching that. And there is a big, deep ditch to left of curve to run back into. It hasn't been like this until property up hill sold a few yrs...

Oxy by injection.......I meant 😔

Today works. Got any of that? Cephapirin sodium. Tomorrow is cephapirin benzathine. Unsure if both/either can be used. @farmerjan ?? Oxytetracycline works. A good squirt of visine or a saline solution will help ease the discomfort until meds arrive -- anyone wear contacts there? 😊 Well...

Road work getting done -- DS loves to work tractor😁....big holes, as in 15+ FEL full at a couple. Two more smaller to do yet. Coming along....

Ahhh yes. Flies! I usually spray onto a cloth and wipe goat belly and legs lightly -- keeps us both more comfy 😉. Wiping on keeps it off the udder. Wipe of that udder wash after keeps flies from udder, too. I do face, between ears and down between eyes to 1/2 down nose. She can't lick...

After 25 age, those nights are tough!!! Good luck....but, somehow I feel you'll get one. You've proven you're worth. 🥰

https://hpj.com/2023/08/29/cattle-producers-urged-to-watch-for-prussic-acid-poisoning/ Just added as great info, explanation....sad farmer lost all the cattle and surprised it wasn't known :( so read as this is real. And now on with morning coffee 🌞 :celebrate home again and heading out for...

A leisurely 2.5 days. 😁. They ignored all other graze. Just opened gate and called them....left it open. They're still eating at some grass in middle. But 35 goats & 1/3 acre.

Yep! Obligations.....I don't want more perm ones. Those farms depend on you. Can you agree to take on a temp basis? Hoping they find another rep. 🫤 We both know some people are repulsed by the cow manures, early hours, barn weather and all those "niceties" you endure for your job. It's not...

I hope Zo is ok!! 🥴 Youngins!! Always something!

My farm help isn't always the tractor 🤣🤣

Early. Just getting coffee...read this and my little mind said -- she drives a BMW???? :lol: :lol: :lol: THEN realized it was your equipment at work. :thumbsup

Having coffee. Awakening...happy no job work today.👍

Every year you look at your Medicare advantage plans -- what's offered, what you need, what you used....what's planned, if you have known health concerns, then cost. I do a lot of no, no, no.....then decide between what's left. 😂. What to cull or keep.

Apparently it's cold there :lol:

Changing your entire "self" for 2 days, off the on...😳Nope! Nights for 3 month, days for 3 month -- I'd not like but could adjust. 2 on/2 off you just have to give it up and stay pretty much on that schedule. 🥴😫 When kids were school age, I worked full time. Usual rush home, fix dinner...

Got yard mowed yesterday, a little weedeat I want to do but, out of the string 🫤. Will pick some up at Lowe's on way home from work today. Will be just after lunch, so plenty of time to do this afternoon. 🤔 Might place a feed order & pick up then, too. Stores just a couple blocks apart. Get...

Best you can do. Hope for the best....if limited area, plenty of hay, cut forage, they should eat & chew cud. Watch inter action between them -- especially ram. If he's attempting to breed lamb &/or ramming lamb as he's after ewe. We don't truly know that's what caused her seeming injury...
