@Daxigait Absolutely! We do count our blessings! With livestock we take nothing for granted. We know a local vet that that when disbudding lost a kid during the process, ever since that vet has been pretty hesitant. I can imagine, :( It is one of those things where I rather have a scur on a buck than keep burning or big double 8's etc. 50% get scurs anyway (bucks). We don't show our bucks so I don't care too much if they get a scur. All in all I don't mind disbudding at all, but just don't ask me to tattoo! I hate tattooing! I run inside and hide. :D

GW has really helped me keep my buck numbers down. But we will need to keep several mini bucks this year for the program.

Well, Zephyr decided to lose her ligs, and go right into labor all at once.
We have a very gorgeous #10 on the nose buckling! :)
He looks just like Zephyr! :love

Zephyr just got dried off. Glad for the single!!!!!!

I want to keep him. GW says I am not allowed.
I need a good name for this guy!

Congrats. So what are the milk requirements for Star status on minis?
This guy isn't a mini. He's a PB Standard Lamancha.

Shoot I better not have a 10# mini born. :eek:

But ...Milk requirements for minis follow a schedule like ADGA's They do not include protein though just #production and butterfat.
IMO their butterfat# requirement is a bit high.

He is sold. My pouty face didn't work. GW doesn't tolerate my pouting. Last week I wanted to get a buck and she wouldn't let me. :lol:
