Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

[babsbag]

Why does 48 goats sound like so many more than my 32? Oh wait - it is a LOT more than my 32. DH asked me why I was even breeding if I'm always griping about having 32 goats, lol. He just doesn't get it...

Don't worry, we have already talked about owning 78 goats and building a bigger dairy and I don't even have this one done yet.

So I just got the pregnancy test results on 4 of my does. 2 are bred and 2 are open. Sooooo that means that I have kids due in Jan. (I think) and that the other two are either going to get a shot of lute to bring them into heat or I am sticking them in with THREE bucks and I get what I get. GRRRRR

You are probably going to need more than lute. It makes them go into heat but doesn't necessarily mean they will release any eggs.

I can't wait to see you with 80 goats

You are just jealous.

I THINK I can lute them and then lute them again in 14 days and get an egg released. I have not seen these two does in heat at all. One is my new Togg and I really don't want her bred to a LM. All my bucks are together and it would cause WWIII if I put two does in the pen. I think they would seriously hurt each other. I also have two yearlings to breed but I have seen them in heat, I just didn't have time to deal with it at the moment.

Let's see...... 1 crazy lady that comes with her very own trail of dead people...... 1 bats$hit wacko neighbor that claims 3 acres of your property......un-numered druggies and future rustlers......USDA loan and regulations...... maybe it's just me, but I think your goats should be able to defend themselves......

I like that idea a lot, definitely something to think about.

I have an LGD that goes into hiding when there is gun fire and I tell her that it is a good thing that coyotes don't carry guns. My other dogs look at her in confusion when she turns tail and runs for the barn so at least I two that are brave. But Sigueme is my love so I forgive her.
