The waiting game is on (Over!)

Off topic here, but I'm curious and have a question. Where do you get oregano oil? What do you use it for? Thanks so much!

That's no problem. You can get it from health food stores. It's the most potent antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasite and antiviral out there (imho, as well as scientific research) and doesn't breed resistance in whatever you're treating. It's a broad spectrum use, should be used sparingly with pregnant animals. You MUST make sure it's diluted to at least 80% (I prefer 60-75%) with Olive oil or it can BURN your skin/mouth. It tastes and smells awful, but I have saved a lot of lives with it and healed up nasty, awful, smelly wounds using it. I try to keep it on hand at ALL times. It's my go to when something seems 'off' or amiss. I also use it on my own cuts or wounds, or if I'm catching a cold. I take two drops under the tongue, hold it for as long as I can and then down it with a full glass of milk. If I do it any other way, it hits the back of my throat and causes me to gag. A lady I work with could drink the stuff

That's great! I'll have to get some on hand. Also, what dosage do you give a goat? I have Nigerian Dwarf goats so I'd probably dosage less than for a standard, right? Thank you again!

For my boer and Ober I mixed 4 drops into a couple cups of oats. For your nigerian I'd say one or two drops. If they like yogurt, you can also give it to them in that. I give one full dropper full into a whole large container of yogurt

As an aside, I'm so frustrated ! Both girls are full ligaments again and Murielle has started bagging up, after having nothing yesterday or the day before. I'm a little confused on that, unless she's one of those bags-all-the-way-up late. So I threw together a milk stand for her.

I just want those kids to be born very soon, while I'm out there. Right now would be nice, the sun is strong and it has really warmed up the shop they are in.

I sat the video recorder out there and recorded them for an hour while I wasn't round. It taught me NOTHING.

New bag pictures. Gretel, pic 2, is tight and firm now, which she wasn't this morning. She's the first freshener. Agnes is still a little squishy but is definitely filling out, judging by all the new pink you can see!

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Oh yeah yeah. Gretels teats are angling outward too! Yaay!

 

[Sweetened]

Yeah! I noticed that this evening

These first freshners really like to screw with us!!

I'm thinking it is just goats in general. Lil' snots!
