I'll take more pictures as she grows...

Ayshire heifer - 4 months old.

I hope you get to see babies soon! I'm going to try to "type" her this weekend, I'm thinking she's not going to be as excited about it as I am, but I have the idea to give her a treat bucket as I'm working out the fingers! I guess I can just wait and see, I haven't seen her let the buck mount...

So my 19 year old OTT gelding has cribbed his top teeth to basically the size of human teeth and now is starting to lose his bottom teeth. I have separated him from his girls and have put down free choice timothy hay for him 24/7. He gets one of those big scoops of senior and one scoop of...

Does the typing technique work when she is probably only "just" pregnant (if at all) or at most a month into her term? I'm going to try this today and see what I can feel. Thank you for all of the advice!

Okay so I have a feeling that since I have a Nubian doe, that her issues with her "hubby" are that she may be bred and just have a continual "headache" because of it. :lol: How far along do they have to be in their pregnancy before you can tell they actually are pregnant?

Ohhhhhh I didn't know that!!!! Will have to go back and print that out! TY!

They were fine again for a few days and then he started again. I just split them up permanently and will think about perhaps finding another buck to breed to. He doesn't get aggressive to me; however, he always looks like he has a mowhawk down his back, 24/7, so I don't know if that's a sign...

Signed up and will see what I get.

Apparently my doe and buck need counseling. They have lived in harmony for two months, no problems, playing, head butting, etc. The doe is 3 years old and the buck is 7 months old. Last night I heard the doe screaming and the buck making all sorts of growling noises to find the buck chasing...

I agree with the other posts, but I handled it in a little different manner with a horse that tended to nip at people's behinds. I took push pins and put them in my pockets with the ends poking out. Horse went to nip my butt and got a bunch of pricks in his nose instead. Now, in your...

I vote for the Kill on Sight way of thinking. You have to protect your babies! I'm so sorry to hear about this and hope that your babies make it okay. :hugs

Now I have tons and TONS of beet pulp as my dear boyfriend decided to buy six bags of it when I said my horse needed some for weight control over the winter. Well needless to say I still have 5.5 bags of it! When feeding it to the gelding, I soak the beet pulp overnight to make sure it swells...

If somebody states they want to ride my horse my reply is always the same. The horse came off the track, had been ferried from owner to owner, each owning him less than 4 months so I don't allow anybody to ride him until they've proven they are not just "a passing fancy". If they would like to...

This is probably a stupid question, but I use a product called "cowboy magic" on my horses' tails to get burss and knots out, I'm wondering if I could use that on the bunnies?
