Well, I pasteurized a batch yesterday for the first time and it came out good. I put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, then in the back of the fridge to cool down. I had to leave for work, so that was my only option! The milk tasted great though, so I guess it worked ok. I think I'm going to...
I wasn't planning on milking any of my does this year (too much going on), but recently bought back a doe I sold as a kid and she happens to be in milk. I am only milking once a day, so not getting a ton, but enough. I would generally drink it raw, but I am currently 7 months pregnant and...
:lau Hmmmm, I have good bargaining here...cheesecake, fudge, what else? :drool And you don't have to go through Atlanta to get here. My in-laws drive down from ohio and they avoid Atlanta. Me, I take a plane.
Her personality is great...super sweet, up my rear constantly looking for a bottle, tries to jump in my lap when I sit down. So basically, a normal annoying bottle baby. :lol: Here's a pic I took of her this morning. Sorry it's kinda dark. She is all black with brown on her ears, tail, and...
She got 2cc of albon yesterday and will get 1cc one a day for another 9 days. My son could care less about sharing his diapers and he loves giving her a bottle, although he tries to hold it upright and then she just sucks air. She was also completely covered in lice...ugh...so she got dusted...
:lol: I think we're going to call her Valentine. Miracle was too cheesy for me. The diaper is so she can walk around and not make a giant mess. They don't exactly go where you want them to. And I already have diapers on hand since I have a 1 year old. She's about 5 lbs, started on albon...
You guys crack me up. You are welcome to come visit but we're not exactly having Florida weather...my pasture was white this morning. Ugh. Baby came home with me last night, is in my bathroom with a diaper on. Eating great. Fecal was full of coccidia, but she is just barely getting her horn...
Somebody found this little girl on the side of the road and brought her in to me at the clinic. She was unresponsive when she got here, temp of 84* F, and blood sugar too low to read. Got her in the incubator with an IV and IV dextrose and within 5 minutes she was sitting up. Here's to hoping...
I only suggested it because of her unknown vaccine status and I don't think the OP knows exactly when she's due, which means we don't know if the CD&T will have time to take effect. If she had been previously vaccinated or she was going to get it a good 30 days before kidding so it would have...
Dewormer for everyone. CDT has Clostridium AND tetanus in it, so they are all getting both. Tetanus antitoxin (not the actual vaccine) is in case they are injured and I think kidding should be included in that. ;)
Pregnant doe should be vaccinated approximately 30 days before kidding (or now if she's closer than that). Booster in a month. I would consider giving her tetanus antitoxin at time of kidding also if she hasn't previously been vaccinated. Baby should be vaccinated about a week of age and a...
