I moved the girls out of the buck pen Saturday after being with the boys for six weeks and wouldn't you know it, yesterday three of them were in a screamign heat. The boys were making all kinds of racket, hollering, slobbreing, panting, sticking out thier tounges. Why didn't they do any of this during the six weeks the girls were with them I don't know.

So I got the boys spereated and then the three grirls back with the repective boyfirends and watched Diez have a fit over the girl in Bullet's pen. He had two pretty ladies begging for his attention and he screamed bloody murder he couldn't have the Bullet's girl.

Of course I had to do this by myself, hubby worked late and I wasn't feeling well. Still feeling the anesthetic from my surgery last week.

The boys are in full rut. I walked out of the house yesterday mornign to go to work and caught a whiff of them. They are screaming, wagging their tongues, screaming. Their beards are soaked, their chests yellow and they are doing their best to attract the ladies.

Nissan is in heat and so in LOVE with Diaz. She is scheduled to move in with Bullet next week so in three weeks she can have her "needs" fulfilled. Right she is lovey dovey, doe eyed following Diaz up and down the fence and wagging her beautiful tail at him. She is such a sweetie. Like so many pretty young ladies she has fallen for the wrong man.

I seem to have finally kicked the anestesia. I moved the fences today and am wiped. I haven't done much all week because of my dizzy head and upset stomach.

My Nigerian is rutting hard but Moses not so much yet. Caleb has been in rut for about 2 weeks. He won't stop his peeing and moaning and baaaing and sticking his tongue out and sniffing, ect. :/

Glad your doing a bit better. :)

Oh and I wish my Kiko does would go into a "loud heat" (that's what I call them).They don't make a sound and it is so hard to know when they are in heat. The Nigerian are loud though. :)

Glad you're feeling better.

I can't believe Nissan's being obvious. I never saw her cycle much here. Do you still have her doeling? I'd like to see a pic sometime if you happen to snap one of her.

:hugs Glad you're feeling up to par!


Our barn sounds like a ghost is moaning in there when Ranger is inside. I'm beginning to think that there is truly no hope for Snickers though...we decided to allow him to keep his "buckhood" through this year's rut in the hopes that he'll come around but he still isn't much interested in the girls.

She isn't being overly obvious, no noise. She just follows Diaz along the fence line and lies down right on the other side of the fence from him. She wags her tail a little but not a lot. If you didn't know her well you wouldn't realize she was in heat. Nissian and I are good friends now. I just adore her! Raising her kid has been good for her, she has lost some weight running after a very active girl. Hubby says she looks like a goat and not a hefer now. She is still big, but a few pounds has made a difference. I am going off memory here but I think she weighed 126 on Rusty's 90 day weighing. I weigh Mom's and babies on weaning day but I left Rusty with Nissian so I just weighed them at 90 days and called it good.

We still have Rusty, she is very pretty and looks just like her momma in the face. You can tell she is Nissan's girl just looking at her. I am so excited she has her daddy's length.

We picked up four new girls yesterday. They are kiko/spanish. Very nice looking. The farm we got them from hasn't wormed a goat in over three years! They are a bit bulkier than most of my kiko girls. I am working on adding some size so these girls will be a nice addition. They have been running with this georgeous savanna buck so lets hope he got the job done!

I hope to get pictures of them tonight and I will try to get one of Rusty as well. They weren't coperating yesterday.
