FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

When we lived in South Carolina, a lot of people would trap them then feed them out for 3 or 4 weeks then slaughter. I've had some that wasn't quite as good as domestic pork but it wasn't all that gamey either.

That buck does have a nice rack especially for a cull.

@OneFineAcre He was a little over 19".

@NH homesteader it's got a gamey taste but pork is pork.

Good job

Two nights ago the dogs went insane. Absolutely berzerk. Apparently they caught, and ate, a raccoon. John just found the tail. Maddie has an infected toe. She goes in tomorrow for antibiotics. She's never been off the farm before and only been on a leash a handful of times. I told the vet to be prepared. She's a sweety but she is in pain.

Tomorrow the does, Brownie, and Maddie get their check up. Does are getting health certs for this weekend, Brownie is getting a ( final ) check up so he can join the bucks on their pasture.

Then I have a lady coming to pick up her Doeling.

Then I have to go get feed and hay so I can leave for the show.

Truck is packed minus the goats. Still haven't trimmed them but I'm going to do that Saturday after check in. It's just a winter clip so not as detailed as a body clip. We have good pen neighbors. I'm happy.

I lost one handler for a Doeling in a class I'm triple booked in. Hoping to find a friend to help out that can handle a youngster with attitude.

Junebug is giving us 6 cups twice a day and I still haven't got a scale for DHIR so I'm just liking what I'm seeing for no reason.

10 hour udder.

Busy busy!!!! Seems like all is going well other than Maddie's toe. Hope it is a simple fix.

Good dogs!!!!

 

[OneFineAcre]

Very nice wide arch
Do you know what scale you are getting
I had a post on here

 

[Ferguson K]

I'd have to go back through the emails.

All I know is it measures to 1/10th of a pound.

 

[Ferguson K]

Her poor toe.

 

[Bruce]
