One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Goat Whisperer]

Aww glad you were able to get the rabbit.

Our guys get them every now and then too.
We have found several nests with newborn kits. It's pretty neat.
But they've learned to avoid the dogs.

ETA I can't keep it straight LOL
Okay I'm excited to see both
How's that?

Glad that the bunny was saved. I haven't seen my cat with any of those but she sure brings the lizards and moles to the door. It is so funny that she wants to bring them in the house and show them off, but they usually aren't dead. She sneaked one in here one day before I was wise to her crying at the door trick and I just told her "I hope you can control your food" and I let her in to hunt for the now lose in my house lizard. Good thing I'm not the squeamish type but I figured that with 4 cats in the house there wasn't much chance of it ending up in my bed.

So are these Toggs on loan to you for Rachel to show or are they a permanent part of your farm? Please tell me now that I do NOT need a buckling and that you will NOT under any circumstances sell one to me. Or better yet tell me that there will be no Togg kids available, ever, and that all kids will go back to your friend or you will keep them. Please and Thank you. Save me from my myself.

They are going to be permanent. He is going to breed them for us so we don't have to get a buck.
I promise to never offer you one.

WHEW!!! Glad that is settled. But now I am "excited" (to quote @Goat Whisperer) to see those little Togg kids next year.

We will probably at some point breed some experimentals (recorded grades) Probably cross with Alpines. There are some really good Alpine's around here.

What about mini's? Any thoughts on Nigerian/Toggs?

Nope
No interest in that at all.

I have two adorable mini Toggs with blue eyes. They are certainly cute but can't show them.

My first three goats were Togg/Alpine crosses, big goats that can milk to beat the band.
