One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Green Acres Farm]

Mine started rut late June! It is very hot and VERY humid!

While some goats won't breed easily when it is hot the temperature isn't what sends them into rut; it is the daylight hours. So why are all the bucks showing signs of rut early this year? Daylight hours are the same this year as they were last year.

We kept 2 pups, Bella and Roosevelt. (So I have a doe and a male pup with the same nickname Rosie)
The other pups are all doing well in their new homes.
Pups will be 21 weeks old Saturday, and are doing very well in the field with their dad Marvel and the bucks.

And the green grass is gorgeous. About this time of year I start to miss green.

Our bucks began rut early last month. Full blown, neck swelling, peeingon anything that moves, screaming and spitting rut started a week or so ago. Just in time too toss them out in their new pasture with their new owners.

Our junior bucks haven't figured out the pee thing yet, but they sure are talking!!!

Those pups are gorgeous like their parents. Sure do love the scenery over there.

They have grown up so much! I always chuckle at the adolescent Pyr stage... they are adorable and goofy all at the same time!
