He's only the 2nd goat I've ever introduced. My first goat - Annie...is the nursing doe. When I bought her, I only had the buck and his sister (who is sterile). They both accepted her pretty easily... And they accepted her babies very easily both times she has given birth.
I feel pretty good...
Looking for some advice...
In my herd, I have 1 ND buck who has a pen all to himself which is right next to the girl pen...
In the girl pen, I have:
1 ND Matriarch (likely the sister of my buck). No idea on her age but I'm guessing 5-6 yrs old. She is the alpha in the pen.
One 2-yr old ND...
Busy day...
Needed to restock my yearly hay supply. Wanted to pick it up last weekend but it was supposed to rain so I didn't. Ended up not raining... 😑 Decided to go this weekend since it wasn't supposed to rain. It was a torrential downpour on the way back.
I hate the weatherman. 🤬
Did...
Just blanched some cauliflower and broccoli to put in the FD. They were kinda big pieces so I had to really squish them down to get the trays in... Hoping that doesn't turn into an unexpected problem
I've got a load of sweet peppers (red, orange, yellow) in right now...
I still have apples, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, asparagus, and eggs to do...
I've got an easy 4 days of FD bliss ahead of me still... 😂
I don't know... There are times I've literally had to hold myself back from yanking my molars our with pliers or stab my gums with a knife because the itch/ache is so bad.... 😂
When getting my wisdom teeth removed as a teen, the dentist punctured into my sinus cavity... Or maybe the roots of my wisdom teeth were growing into my sinus cavity. Can't remember exactly... But either way, whenever I get a cold or allergies or anything that causes pressure and excess mucus in...
I woke up this morning with my molars itching... Weird symptom, I know... 😂 But it's ALWAYS a precursor to a bad allergy day. I started loading up on meds for the day before doing anything else.
Speaking of tomatoes.... Last year I grew an enormous monster (see below). I weighed nearly 2 lbs! I think it was from a variety called Backa. I'm growing that variety again this year, but I've been watching another potential monster in this year's crop. It's from a variety called Olena...
Another lesson learned, along with a save. 😂
The seasoned cucumber chips finished this morning. I was in a rush to feed animals so I opened the door to the FD intending to take out the cucumbers but got distracted and walked away.
An hour and a half later, I remembered... By this time, the FD...
We handled all 5 to give them a little bit of sugar water and electrolytes since they've been 5 days without momma. None of them smelled even the slightest bit musky. But when we took the last 2 to the rehab, one of the babies was inconsolable. He cried the entire 30 minute ride there and kept...
I have three 55-gallon drums that I use as vertical strawberry beds. I'm getting a nice little mess (10ish?) of strawberries very few days. Not enough to really do anything with except snack on. I did FD some along with the store bought strawberries.
Anyway, today I was eating some of the Mara...
My DH tried a FD strawberry yesterday and said it tasted like strawberry Styrofoam. 😂😂😂 I imagine the pumpkin pie being the same?
But how do you get a whole pie in the FD?
