I want two Saturdays!
I hope your back feels better. I prefer Flexall. The Thermacare heat wraps are WONDERFUL!

Pretty nice day so far. Got the house cleaned, reorganized out mudroom so I have a place to hang up our barn gear, and AHHKK!! Apollo what did you do!!?? I go into the barn, and he has blood everywhere. On the pen, on my doe, all over his face. He is being so aggressive about his right to breed that he has busted up his head and doesn't seem to get that he, and the other boys, are all in their own pens with their OWN doe. How about we stop with the fighting through the pen wall and get to the baby making with the hottie right NEXT TO YOU please!
I pulled all of the boys out for the morning to give the does a break from the amorous boys and cleaned up Apollo. He looks ridiculous, having rubbed off the fur on top of his head (think Friar Tuck), gashed it open, and now purple from the bluekote I put on it. He is relentless though. I will be putting the girls back with their boy tonight and think I will just bring the doe to his place so he doesn't keep trying to fight the other bucks.
Good news is though that two of the three does are clearly in heat and appear to have been bred a few times.

Wait! You said you cleaned him off?
Moses, Caleb, and Will have all been bloodied several times when fighting each other and I would never in a million years clean them off. Too much stink, too much work, no need, and they look really manly when the have blood all over their head and face. - Thread starter

Funny you say that because after messing with his stank butt (he is really really ripe right now after his week with the girls, daily dousing himself with urine for them) because we JUST got back from Bath and Body Works--I went out and bought a few bottles of their eucalyptus mint hand scrub to get his smell off of me. A little buck smell I can handle but we were really up close and personal today getting him patched up and the smell is etched into my pores and can be smelled from across the room.
Anyone who is interested...the BBW Euc/Mint soap really works well and at Halloween time, they stock an Anise scented one the is even better!

Oh my Charlie!!! That guy is got me wrapped around his gigantic paw. I am going on to give him his dewormer in a sec and will try to snag some photos. He is a dirty, filthy mess from all the fun he had today playing in the snow and then rolling in dirt in the goat pen. Dirty and happy. I am going to weigh him while I am out there. I am going to guess 25 pounds, based on lifting him earlier when we moved the bucks around. Be back soon.
He is such a smartie though. I anticipated him being a little more resistant to training since he is with the goats more than with us and because of what I had heard about the breed, but on first command he sits, lays downs, shakes, and for the most part will come when told to. I tried to get a photo of him sleeping with DinDin in the pasture a few days ago but DinDin opened and eye, saw me, and got up before I could snap a shot.

Thanks pearce! I'd love to see pics of a messy muddy puppy... means he had fun. When D and Badger would go through the duck hole (not big enough to be a pond..or pool) they would have black mud all over them. They knew they couldn't come in the house with the mud and I'd say..."nope, your all muddy... can't come in." Badger would literally sulk and get so embarrassed and ashamed! Badge is way to sensitive.

LOL, look at that face he is making! He totally looks ashamed. Charlie is not as muddy as that Mostly just his back legs and undercarriage. We weighed him...21.14. And yes that is a 5 gallon bucket and a fish scale---works great and cost less than ten dollars. We use it for weighing chickens too. He was still licking the probiotic yogurt off his lips. We give his worm meds in it and he loves the stuff.
I tried to get a pic of him on the ground and got photobombed by DinDin. That goat is so annoying and needy. He is our first dam raised goat too which surprises me since I would think he would be less in your face. Here is the best I could snap.
While in the barn, I got a bit of an upsetting phone call from my dad telling me that my cousin had died. We are the same age. They believe it was an overdose of his depression medications but are doing an autopsy. He is his parents only child and I am so sad for them right now. And they just got back into their home after it caught fire from some strange mulch combustion thing (thankfully a neighbor caught sight of it because they were out of town). He and I were not especially close, and have not seen each other for years but it is just so strange and upsetting to think that he is gone.
