A busy day....

Picture
I trimmed hooves this afternoon and had finished all but the final two when I just had to sit down and take a break.   Roni wanted up in my lap (she isn't a bottle baby, just a friendly girl) so I thought why not try trimming her hooves.   I flipped her over and she relaxed with her head on my shoulder.  And I was able to trim all four hooves with her in that position.

Picture
Mystery's two boy were disbudded this afternoon.   They are both developing so well and their dam is such a good producer I may change my mind and offer at least one of them as a buck, probably the tri-colored one we are calling Willamette.

Picture
This is my first week milking Mystery and she has been very consistent at 3# of milk a day.  (I expect it to increase to 4-5# or better soon.) There is still a slight after taste so I have been making the chickens happy most mornings with some fresh warm goats milk.  Just like the rest of us they enjoy a warm beverage on a cold morning and the extra calcium helps their production.

Picture
I also moved Sunny and Rio to the pen across the driveway from the does so that Mojo would have the ladies all to himself and have a chance to build up his confidence.   With these two big romeos out of his way he didn't hesitate to make his presence known and was doing his best to impress.   I plan to breed him to Roni the next time she comes into heat.
