It is cold and rainy, We have had non stop rain for 36 hours, What mud whole outside. But rain is a good think for the spring crops, so I am not complaining, just saying. LOL
We need to order feed and we are worried about our driveway holding up to the feed truck, we are first on the delivery round so he is coming with a full load. HOpe we don't have a towing bill to pay. If the feed truck gets stuck in your driveway it is your bill.
We are ordering ivermectin Plus and going to try to treat some of the does that are having problems for LIver flukes. See if that helps us at all.
Got a few pics, I have someone interested in Peaches bottle doeling, so I was out with my camera. Of course everyone is stuck in the barn and the kids are all crunched up looking because of the damp chill in the air. But took some pics anyway.
That is Tori's lighter doe on the far left.
Star's wether
The two standing together in the middle are Pepper's twin bucklings, the caped doe on the left of the photo is Indie's doeling, and I think the caped one on the right is Haley's doeling.
This is what a lot of them have been doing the last couple of days.

girls have white tags in the right ear and boys have orange tags in the left ear. Although i see we missed a set of twins, Annies' twins aren't tagged yet.

when we first bring a new bloodline to the farm she is given a letter and a number. That letter will be hers and any daughters, granddaughters, ect.....
So Indie is I 65, but her daughters are I 71, I 76, ect... same for granddaughters.
Kids receive a kid tag, Orange for male, white for doe,
Their tag would read as follows, If they are from Indie I 65 1 13 A and I 65 1 13 B. The I 65 obviously is the dam"s farm ID, The 1 stands for January, the 13 for the year and A, B ect.. is for letter of kid in the liter. So if there were triplets the 3rd kid would have a C.
On the button on the back of the tag we write the initials of the sire.
When the doe is kept and put into the herd as a replacement she is then given an adult doe tag and ID #, So for example if we kept the doeling from Indie she woudl have a white tage in her right ear that says I 65 1 13 B and a green tag in her left ear that says I 90. the 90 would just be the next number in sequence that we haven't used yet. Our does are also registerable and are tattooed with regstration numbers in both ears from ABGA paperwork, That has nothing to do with the above mentioned tagging program. The tagging program I am talking about above is what we have came up with to help us identify everyone quicker and easier when we are out in the barn.
