Still catching up. The girls look great!
We are repeating the breeding that produced CeCe, in hopes of a doeling :fl If we didn’t have so many kids born this year (42) we would have kept her :)

Love Queen as always :love

Sparkle gets her crazy hair from her granddam, Zephyr. She gets crazy long hair. Most of the goats in her line get really long hair, one had hair over 6 inches long :eek:

Our lamancha kids are still on milk :hide
SBC weaned my Nigerians while I was at the show. Probably a good thing too, I’d end up leaving them on milk until they are a year old :lol::hide

You can use white vinegar. But you will have worms, lice, flies, ticks and mild forms of cancer. :lol::lol::lol:
Nah, there's always a dead cat on the road somewhere I can use to swing around my head while doing the ancient chant to achieve the same immunity. See....I plan ahead, that way I don't have to do anything today.....Earl explained it to me..

That only works on the dark of the moon, at midnight, swinging the dead cat with the left hand while sticking your right hand in a hollow stump full of rain water. Continue on with the ancient chant...... That's what Earl's MeeMaw told me and I figgerred she ourght to know.

Speaking of dead cats...Queenie dug up Minnie and rolled on her carcass and is now bathed in her smell. :he:barnieo_O:sick:duc Needless to say, Minnie is now in a plastic bag and has been reburied.

On a different note, I got a few more pics for y’all. It’s definitely been a picture day! Lol

I am sorry, but I laughed when I read this. I just couldn't help it. When we have dead animals I cover them with lime before we cover them with dirt. It kills the odor.

I don't care anymore, how big or small the animal is I bury...I do it with a backhoe..deep, and pack it down good afterwards;
Got tired of animal parts being dug up and drug up on the porch.

I probably shouldn't tell this but about 4 years ago, we took in yet another emaciated stray that wandered up. Got her back to eating good, and my other older dog tolerated her for the most part and learned to leave her medicated dog food alone. About 3-4 weeks later, only about an hour after wife & I talked about getting her fixed and all her shots, she walked down the the end of the porch late one night, kinda curled up in a corner and went into the awfullest convulsive, snarling, slobbering fit you ever saw. I put her down right there and then. Old Indy hardly looked up when the shot rang, but as I was putting her in the contractor's bag, and wife was getting the water hose to wash the mess of the porch, he walked up, sniffed her once or twice, then went right over and started eating out of her dog bowl. I said "Indy!"
He looked up at me like "Well, she ain't gonna be needin this no more" and went right back to eating....so much for the companion mourning period.
