B&B Happy Goats....journal

[Mike CHS]

Mariota and the new coach Mike Vrabel seem to be a good pair. Vrabel has completely rebuilt the team this year.

 

[Mike CHS]

have you tried Gojo cherry gel pumice hand cleaner?

I've never seen it in Cherry.

 

[Hens and Roos]

Not yet but going to ace hardware and tractor supply tommrow. ..will look for it for sure and thank you so much....wouldn't like to have to use the gasoline and match ....

I know we get it from Farm & Fleet by us. It seems to help take the smell off...

I've never seen it in Cherry.

We have used the orange gojo as DH is always fixing equipment and for whatever reason he ended up getting a bottle of the cherry gel and this seemed to work better for removing the buck smell

BACK TO THE COUNTRY. ...AGAIN, .....i guess, i have found home again, where my heart is happy and my interaction with humans are by my own choice. The best part of being retired is living life the way you want to ....instead of the way you need to live.... we found our place "in the middle of nowhere" , surrounded by cows, goats, and all kinds of farm animals, ... with the human homes far enough away....and in the middle of it all was a sign that said ...for sale.... To me it was heaven, i could live around all the animals, watch them and enjoy them , I didn't even have to get up and feed any of them,... fantastic ! ...For my husband...he looked at me like i was a total nut case and promply said...they don't even have internet here, WTH are you thinking, we are too far away from stores, and there is alot of work to do here, OMG...are you serious ? And two years later, we are happier than ever....we have our ND goats, chickens, rabbits, two dogs and a very brave cat....my husband freaked at the thought of getting goats, now when i am looking for him, and he appears to be among the missing, i look out the window and find him sitting with the goats, patting, giving them a treat and talking with them, ....a love affair with goats has developed for him...and that makes me happy.

I had the identical experience, my wife grew up in Long Island and was never around farm life. My family were all farmers prior to my generation. I started with fruit trees and a 1800 square foot garden several years ago. The last two years I have added bees, goats and chickens. she argued with each new addition, but within a couple of months of each addition you would think they were her animals. If I tried to get rid of any of these things now, she would have a whole new argument.

I have never had the pleasure of dealing with that, but they use tomatoe juice to deal with skunk spray. I would try it. I am interested if it works.

 

[WILLIFORD]

I have been around bucks, but I do not own one. I have 3 does, and will probably add more does in the future. I am actually considering looking into the AI process to avoid dealing with owning my own bucks

 

[Mike CHS]

One thing I just thought about is apple cider vinegar. I use it when I have been processing onions and hot peppers as it removes about everything. I have no idea if it would remove buck scent but might be worth trying.

 

[WILLIFORD]

Lol, likewise here...just gotta love it ! Are you near the fire danger ?

No we are safe where we are at. We are getting the smoke from it, but the fires are south of us a 100 or so miles
