Getting the boys ready for dates- update, pics page 3

I have luck putting the rods in probios paste. I just squirt it down the back of the throat with no issue. I wish they would make a copper injectable liquid somehow. That would make the job soooo much easier! A month before I increase my boys grain intake. Cuz in rutt mine always seem to lose condition. Their interests are just not thier food anymore!! lol! ha ha!! Good luck on your breeding season!! Hope it goes great!

I have a buck question, since this is my frist yr, ever to own a buck and we are coming into our frist rutt ect..

Do i need to move him away from the milking girls and barn? Right now he is in his own pen but it is between the girls and the barn. He seems to like the goings on and watches us...

Will he effect the milk as he becomes more stinky? Right now he dose not smell, but he does still pee on himself ect...

When the girls start cycling / rubbing up around him, they very well might start making 'bucky' milk.

I usually have mine dried up around breeding time, and the boys live away from the milking area, so I can't swear to anything, but I wouldn't want my milkers around my stinkers, er....I mean bucks....

Yeap it was me asking to see pictures. The boys just don't get the attenetion, because they do not have udders and give birth. They are some nice looking boys you ahve. I love the spots.
