I forgot to throw in to the weekend's accomplishments that we also trimmed all 3 buck's hooves, and dosed them w/ ivermectin injections and 7dust.
Seems Chaos and Bullitt have 'a funk' of some kind, giving them crusty ickies on their backs. Figured we may as well treat Freeney, too, or else the 'funk' would leave the other 2 and run to him.
We treated Bullitt w/ ivo a week ago and dusted all 3, then noticed when we did Chaos' feet today that he had 'the funk' too....the white fur on his back hid his better.

We also discovered that Bullitt's big fat head will no longer fit in the milk stand stanchion. :lol:

That's ok about the mini rex, the breeder we got ours from told me she bred her castor pair, hoping to get us a doe kit.

The chicks are adorable. I am STRONG. I will not get any chicks. I will not get any chicks. (sigh, I go thru this every spring, how long does the addiction last?)

Your flowerbeds are in SUCH better shape than mine. I am sooooooo jealous.

And that rabbit cage. Um, dont laugh. Can I download the pic that you posted of it? I really really like that design, and with a very minor modifications could be an excellent outdoor habitat for Elroy to have for this summer.

Yes ma'am, you can use it. :D

Chick totes cleaned, milk done, critters fed, and 2 turkeys gone.

Waiting on a friend to get here so we can go to WalMart and then she's taking a turkey.

Tonight the last turkey's leaving at 6:30 and tomorrow's my 'truck day' so I'll be going in to work at 5am.....nobody bug me tonight after 8pm, ok?

:p

Congrats on the Obers! Just curious, I thought you couldn't register black bucks?

You can as experimentals ;)....the kids will 'only' be recorded grade, BUT w/ great genetics and....It's not like I sell bagoobles of registered show obs, anyhoo.

The udders behind these guys are awesome. If people are more interested in what the papers have written on them than production / quality....meh, who needs em.

Oh I forgot to tell you my new favorite mini-rex is the harlequin. She has 2 and they are so cool looking. I am glad they are breeding you a caster doe.
