I only wean bucks and wethers that go to new homes. When I do it, I do it slowly over a weeks period and yes, they can see each other through the fence.

Yep, bucks like this are very hard to manage. Been there, done that. A very small, single animal only jerk- proof pen is what you have to have for that guy. Hey, if he isn't charging you, at least you have that going. ;) Yep, if you don't care for it, I would sell him and find what you are...

I wouldn't say that it's a good $$ maker, but it is fun. We really like to show them. We just have several stacked cage systems in our barn.

No, they don't mold. I've used them for many years and they work well in the barn and out. Many happy repeat customers as well... You should post a link to your moms site for her sales!!

Thanks!!:D

I would plan to have them born on the same day or within 1-3 days of each other. You will find that life is much simpler when you are taking care of the same issues(shots, disbudding, banding, feeding) all within the same range of age. Also, the kids will get along much better when they are all...

Well, when I defrost milk, it looks separated,..so no, it would probably taste that way too,...LOL.

Thanks,..okay, I did some tweaking over there, should be easier now.:thumbsup

I think too little decoxx in the ration could cause resistance to cocci, but that is about the biggest drawback...

Ok, Decoxx is really safe, that is what is in my feed. The monensin is what I do not like as an antibiotic additive....

May not be the feed,...I know in the past microtoxins(sp) have been to blame for sporadic problems... What is it medicated with? Is it decoxx?

:thumbsup Entro can respond to anti-biotics...so it is possible that the scour-halt would have helped with entro.... What ever you are dealing with, you are working really hard :hugs I know you must be frustrated and feel like you are walking on egg shells.... Have you thought about the feed supply?

Yep, I would vaccinate again just to be safe. We vaccinate every 6 months here. The cd/t protection actually wears off in 3 months after the booster....

Yes, but animals with Johnes can intermittently have problems like you are describing before they actually die from the disease... Just something to consider, or one more problem to rule out.... Other than disease, it sounds almost as if they are having bouts of entro. I would go ahead and...

Sounds good. Did you get one tested for Johnes?

LOL, Okay, thanks all :hugs, will go take another look and see if I can't make it easier to read.

Okay, so you're saying the purple background is so dark that it's hard to read? Just making sure I'm following you, I want everyone to be able to see it too! Thanks for telling me!!;)

Thanks! Not sure I follow you though, do you mean that the background on my "HandCrafted page" is black? That the information is written with black letters and you can not read them? The background should be purple.... Let me know so I can fix it, I can see it just fine when I go over....

It was cut above the sigmoid flexure. Good news to hear your doe is better, sorry to hear the culture was neg. Knowing what is going wrong sure would be helpful.

:clap Oh, you're going to have so much fun!!! he,he
