See that @babsbag, I'm making Mama Wall happy, you are not! ;)

Of course you ARE really busy with getting the dairy going not to mention all the "normal" work you would have even without the dairy.
Yes, Babs! There is no danger of you being called lazy! As Bruce said, you are just one busy lady, who has to set her priorities. Making "Mama's Eggnog" just has to go way down on the list, and Costco Eggnog will have to suffice for now.
Maybe Ruby will change her mind after Falina tells her what a gentleman RJ is ;)
Ah yes! That is something I forgot to mention. That little RJ is the sweetest goat! He is so calm and was very gentle. Really, he was! :):lol:

Nice !! Those rascals sure have a LOT of stinky pee. The girls seem to think it's a wonderful stench ;) Don't let him rub on you too much :lol: Maybe the other does will cycle soon. Often just the presence of a male will encourage them to get ready.

Betcha RJ will go home with some of your wonderful cheese for LS & Mel...compliments of the does, for a "good time". :clap

Just be sure to mark your calendar and he may need another pack when ya take him home....just sayin....:)
Yes, I'm right on getting that pack of Marlboros! :lol:

he calendar is already marked three times:
1. Yesterday - day one of the cycle
2. In 21 days to check for signs of heat (just in case we got a false start)
3. Day 150. With a reminder 5 days before, to look for sigh of impending kidding.

If I made eggnog and drank it I wouldn't get any work done so it would be a double NO NO. I do love eggnog. The stuff at Costco is pretty strong, I don't know what the % is, didn't look, but it is stronger than wine that's for sure. We have state licensed liquor stores too but many other stores have the permits for the high octane stuff. Costco has a killer Margarita available in the summer time too. I really try to avoid most of that stuff, not good for the waistline.

Glad that the buck was quick to do the deed. When they are ready they are ready. I had one yesterday that had all the signs of being in heat but she didn't want anything to do with the buck. I left them together all day but I doubt he got anything accomplished. @Devonviolet at the same time that the buck does the thrust you will notice the doe arch her back and tuck her butt down. She will need a smoke too. :lol:

Actually, I presently buy the big bags of shredded mozzarella and cheddar and I share both with Mel :hide He's a good dog and deserves his share of dairy products (and about anything else I have that he has interest in) I don't give him anything that would be terribly bad for him of course. RJ is a really peaceful buck. He's not scared and doesn't run from me/you, but at the same time, he doesn't "challenge" me either. He likes scratches on his neck and back but HATES when you get near the base of his scurs or grab hold of them. I hope and expect that he'll give DV (well, her goats anyway) some really beautiful babies this coming spring. :) I hope to get some as well.
