One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Baymule]

Sounds like you are pretty stressed too. You need the weekend!

 

[Southern by choice]

I'm tired

I had to take a half day of vacation today just to get some kids disbudded and haul trash off
Taking another half day tomorrow to get hay and feed and pick up the hog from the slaughterhouse

Maurine is out there now with the milk tester

None of the does are doing great this evening

They have all been really stressed today

That's a big drawback to dam raising and milk testing

And the herd mentality kicked in today that some who shouldn't be upset got worked up with everyone else

I think we may dry off a couple of key does
Zamia doesn't have anything to prove at this point but that would be a big hit to our dairy herd at the state fair
But I would write that off to keep her healthy and try to get a couple more doe kids from her

Strange year.
Why do you think they were stressed? Weaning?
I know the rains this past weekend and so really took its toll on our girls as well.
Our whole on test thing has not worked out for us this year. With flu during kidding and other sickness it has been a tough one.
I don't sweat it too much... all we can do is what we can do.
For you guys I know it is a bit different but you have some great goats and I am sure they will still do great at fair.
Hope you guys get the rest you need too.
