He sucked down his bottle this evening. I think he may be just a late sleeper, I am going to wait until after I get home from work tomorrow to give him his morning bottle. Maybe 5am is just to early for him.

oh also something new from this morning. He was very uninterested in his bottle this morning. he drank about 1 quart. After trying for about 20 minutes to get him interested in it again, and royally pissing him off might I add, I gave up and decided that I would try again later. No sooner than I...

Thank you. He is quite hungry :) lol. My biggest fear currently is that everyone is getting quite attached to the little(big) fella.... to the point of actually fighting(the kids not me-lol) over who is going to give him his next bottle...

The second picture is of him after I rubbed his back - lol. Also does he look of a healthy weight for his age?

So once again we decided to go somewhat blindly into something and decided to get a drop calf to raise for meat. He was born Friday and we picked him up on Saturday. The farmer provided us with 5 gallons of the moms milk. Our little bull was 79 lbs 15 oz at birth (they have a hanging weight...

Thank you all. My kidding season is over. Ginger, who I believe cycles all year long kidded at the beginning of the month. She usually has wonderful little kids, but with the cold snap, it was just a bad time. If she gave birth on March 3rd, any guess at when she will cycle again? EDIT: Let...

Momma didn't make it though the night. Unfortunately when the vet came out, they found that she had torn her uterus. :( :hit :hit :hit The Little buck is doing wonderfully. He thinks I am his momma. Unfortunately he is a buck I may not be able to part with as everyone's favorite goat was Tippy...

picture blurred.... :( Must get another one.

Well remember how I said I always get single bucks from Tippy? This year she DID have twins. Unfortunately the first one born, I was not home for, I found her dead, still partially in it's sack. I rushed it inside and attempted to revive it. I worked on it for almost an hour hoping for...

Well This evening Tippy seems like she could be in early labor. She is a bit cranky, pawing at the ground, getting up and laying down a lot. Crossing my fingers all goes well if she does decide to kid.
