Other than keeping track of kids, it’s much easier now that everyone is back together and on the pasture I want them on.
Dolly is going to start getting her extra feed again.
I’m going to try to get Hilda to come in too. She’s better but still thin. Both boys are chewing their cuds, so I will try to wean them soon. Mom can’t take feeding them much longer.
It also means I finally caught those last few goats I couldn’t catch (I had to use food to bribe them) to get them their copper. That was a huge relief to get them done. Zora wasn’t even too bad once I drug her over to the milk room. She stood for me really well while I did her hooves. She even seemed calm while I was petting her.
Trace was Trace. I caught her and put it down her throat and held her for a while rubbing under her chin. Then, after I thought she had swallowed, I let her go. At that point, she promptly ran away and spit the capsule out. She is such a brat. But everyone else wasn’t too bad.
Then it’s just a matter of hanging out and making sure nobody got left in pasture.
It also makes it easier to enjoy my sweet ones.
