40 years of raising dairy goat kids and lambs and it never gets old just watching those babies hop and chase each other round! Adorable.

My friend's kids in 4-H rased meat birds for the fair. After the fair they sold off the extra chckens. I aked her why she ddn't put thm in her freezer and she said she couldn't eat them. She said she ade the m ostake of "making eye contact with them". :lol::lol::lol:
That is too funny, I get attached very quickly but I also love food ha! Our first chickens were free. Our back neighbor gave us 9 chicks and the broody hen, 2 were strangled by a snake and 6 turned out to be roosters which we turned into dinner without any hesitation. Believe me we were attached and they all had names, some of them hen names because we initially didn't know any better (city folks freshly moved to the country lol). Those were the best chicken nachos ever!

That's Weller, of the curly butt.

I think he needs to be kept.
Only need one ram and if kept, wouldn’t want to breed him back to his mother.
Rams go to auction, the freezer or the very very best get sold for a breeding sire.

To make it worse, usually the rams are colored up the prettiest and their twin sister is white. Plain as vanilla pudding!
