Ferguson K's kidding thread! - Morgan's turn

Very, very cute! Sorry for the loss of the little trip...

sorry to hear about the little trip

This buck has been very consistent in looks. I wish he wasn't a fence jumper, I would've kept him. We shall see what his kids do as milkers but I'm pleased with the way they're turning out (without being in milk).

H21 and H22 are bigger than Karma's kids, but we knew they would be with as big as Red was.

They are adorable! Congrats!

It's been a LONG day. Just got home and got everyone fed. Haven't made it down to the pasture that Aelia and Red are in to get the kids weighed or check them over, so, no more pictures yet. I'll head down there Sunday, as I have 13-14 (working) hour days ahead of me, which means I will be gone from home from 6am to 8/9pm the next two days. Then Saturday I'll be gone almost all day.

Neighbor whose pasture the girls are in says the kids seem to be getting around fine and are nursing really well. He has locked the four remaining kids and their mothers up in their shed for the night, it's supposed to drop into the 30's.

This also means I need to stalk Prudence, as she's the next in line, and make sure she doesn't deliver in this cold tonight.

No sleep until I'm dead!

More updates when I have them.

Hang in there!

 

[Ferguson K]

Home early. Probably a good thing. I'm exhausted.

Prudence has never skipped a meal, and she just ignored her supper . Good thing we have a cam on her. Night two also brings a tremendous change in udder. She's not full yet, but getting close.

Just a reminder prudence is half nubian half Boer. I'm still surprised at what I'm seeing.

Her udder is ugly, but she is a good mom and gives good milk.

Fingers crossed!

Isn't 1/2 nubian and 1/2 boer a kinder?

 

[NH homesteader]

Nope that's a Nubian/Pygmy

Big udder though!
