We had a hard-headed lab once. We tried the shock collar. He would still chase the chickens, hollering and running as we shocked him. Other times he just twitched. We had the strongest shock collar we could buy. :rolleyes:
The being butted by a big mama goat worked the first time for our male...
Are they black ants or fire ants? If they are fire ants (the red, stinging type) I would not feed it to her. Our GP had some fire ants get into his food last year and we had to rush him to the vet because they had bitten him in his throat and esophagus. The vet said stomach acid doesn't kill...
We made a wood box out of scrap 2x4's as a frame and attached a pallet to the top (measure you pallet first to see how big your box needs to be). It does really help to have a rubber mat in the back of the truck and a tarp just in case of a downpour.
We have 2 Nubians and I actually love how vocal they are - especially when they see people. They holler LOUDLY then come running. Super friendly!
However, my Alpine/LaMancha has the biggest mouth of all.
Does he have a hole in his skull now or is it flush with is head? I think that would make me pass out if he had a hole. I've seen pictures of that before.
We have a charger that is putting out 18 Joules on our fence and we have 4 lines of high-tensile fencing with "juice" on it.
Top wire - juice
2nd wire - no juice
3rd wire - juice (this one is at nose level on our Boers and Nubians)
4th wire - no juice
5th wire - juice
6th wire - juice
Most, but not all does, will keep their bottoms clean. I did have one doe that tried to keep one of her kid's bottoms cleaned up, but every time she would try, he would tuck his tail under.
