Blazing Acres 1st Kidding Thread:samssimonsays olive surprise!

[Ferguson K]

We changed up the order three times last year when the does got wimpy on us. Zinnia and Onyx fought about who went first, and I brought Prudence and Lilly in first. Then Red and Aelia got moved to the back of the line as more does freshened.

That's when you went *DING* with your girls.

Hahaha I thought it was you that made the connection possible for me

 

[Ferguson K]

Yes it was!

I can't believe it, but it actually worked! Thank you guys so much!

Don't worry, Sam. I don't think your does are weird in the least. I think they're just spoiled like mine.

They're still jerks on the milking stand, but not nearly as bad as they were. Yesterday, the does hopped right up without me having to lead them to the stand and they stood there politely. We don't have the head gate on yet, so usually they have pretty much "free reign" and Daphne, the herd queen, likes to turn around or jump off despite the delicious food and treats I'm offering her. But yesterday, she calmly ate all of her food and just did her angry hoof stomping, but didn't move a muscle.
Winona, my ten-month-old doe, is my best "milker" and she won't even be milked for another year! Her favorite thing in the world is the milking stand.

I am so glad it worked!

Well, I'm really not sure who took and who did. I hope to try to bump them tomorrow as we are just under two months away from the start of kidding!

 

[Baymule]

Can't wait to see kids!!!

 

[samssimonsays]

Me too!

I am not sure what I will do if none of them took beside

 

[Hens and Roos]

hope you can figure it out, I haven't had luck with trying to bump and see.

I caved.... .I ordered the P-Test for the goats.... I will let y'all know if they work. But I have read a lot of folks having success with this test, folks with false positives and others with false negatives if tested too early but mine are between 3 and 4 months pregnant now nearly? So hopefully they work...
