I'm meeting alot of you through the fb groups

I much prefer our discussions on BYH though!

I much prefer our discussions on BYH though!

Me too! FB is for one liners not discussions IMO.
BYH is a lot more social and community like.

 

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

I agree with both of you

I noticed in the pictures you put on FB that shows your does front feet, she's sitting way back on her pasterns.
That can happen sometimes right before and after kidding when the ligaments loosen.
You should keep an eye on it.
Did you give any selenium while she was pregnant?

 

[Sweet horizon Nigerians]

I hadn't even noticed, they look the same to me? And no I did not give selenium to be honest I didn't know she needed it with having loose minerals out (pro manna) but thinking about it, it does make sense I mean we have to copper bolus because they don't get enough from minerals...

We use to give Selenium before breeding. We now give it a month or so before kidding.

Where do you get it from? Is it something that can be ordered? Or can it be bought at tsc?

 

[OneFineAcre]

I hadn't noticed her being weak in her pasterns on pictures you had posted earlier. Like I said, it does happen to some right before they kid.
As to the selenium, BoSe is an injectable that you have to get from the vet.
That's what we use. Some use an oral product that you can get, but I'm not 100% sure they have it at TSC.
