Well, it is cold out, and very very windy. Not a fun day to be a farmer. ON today's list of chores, is treating the entire herd with ivermectin injectable for mites including the kids, vaccinate all the kids that are more than a week old, tagging the last 4 litters that have been born, weighing a few of the kids to get weight gain and trimming a few more hooves. When we are trimming hooves we are also giving our first round of copper boluses for the year. We have 9 of the adults done so far.
Then we need to go shopping for wrestling clothes for our son.
And I need to clean house.
My daughter finds out this morning if she made the varsity soccer team. They are having their last tri-outs this morning from 8 to 10. It is possible she wont make the team. Not looking forward to that. She has played JV the last two years, but this year she has to quality for the VArsity or she can't play.
oof. Good luck to your daughter. We went thru that with Baseball. (It took me YEARS to convince my boys that the Earth did not revolve around a baseball, lol) Waiting for these results is just HARD for teens.
I took my youngest to a wrestling match once.......he told me that was definately not something he was interested in doing. I asked him why and he said that those wrestling outfits just show "too much junk" (in his defense, he does have a big ole butt. got it from his momma)
Congrats on the doelings! Wish you lived closer, I'd convince you to sell me a few, lol.
Well, she didn't make the team, so it has not been fun to be with her this weekend, we have a Cracker Barrell down the road and a couple grocery stores and she can drive, so she is talking about applying for part time jobs.
Son loves loves loves wrestling. We went clothing shopping for him and got him tight shorts and a tight tank top and another pair of little looser, but still tight shorts to put on over that. He looks handsome.
Funny you mention "The Junk," We joked about that when he was trying on clothes, the importance of him having none of his junk hanging out too much. Son blushed a little.
Baseball season will be starting as soon as wrestling finishes up, He is growing so fast, we can't keep him in clothes. He needs a bigger glove and all new pants and baseball shoes and probably a cup, too. Good thing my husband an I weren't worried about having tons of money when we get older.
He is 10, almost 11, he weighs 125 lbs, is 5 foot 1" and wears a men's 8 shoe. This all started when he was going from 3rd to 4th grade, he was a runt of a thing in 2nd and 3rd grade.
Why are you so far away with such beautiful goats? WHY?????
Every time I see "so and so kidded" I just want to hop in the car and go scoop them up! but you are far away and the critters here would mutiny if they missed a meal while I was gone!
It's so hard around here to find good looking, well cared for boer goats and I REALLY want to grow my herd of them...
Why don't you move to TEXAS? We have a place for sale down the road a piece...people are nice here...I'd be your neighbor
Seriously...I see WAY too many local raggedy hungry and diseased "meat goats"...your kidding thread gives me hope of one day having a small herd of my own to match yours in health and beauty!
