The monster thistle you showed looks like what is known as a bull thistle as opposed to the "canadian thistle"... different variety/type... usually a 2 year cycle... first year is rosette and growing... low to the ground... and you don't notice them... 2nd year they stalk and flower...

A doeling 7-10 days ago...another due mid April, then 3 in June, plus 4 full but not reg. Producers of feed $$. 👍☺️

The dairy/Boer can be reg at 50%, small fee. Only advantage is bred to full Boer I can get 75%kids. Most I won't reg as market for reg stock isn't great here. 🤷. They primarily will be kept to grow out, use in commercial if they pan out, then produce well. Milk volume helps kids grow....it's a test. The half bucklings are meat marketed. Commercials bring $. There's an auction every month. :lol:

It's like cows...as to selection and reasoning.

Warm, sunny morning here. There was fog at ground level a while ago, burned off now. Was kinda pretty with sun rising on it. Looked like steam over the fields. I slept well, had shut alarms off 👍

Will do outside things today -- warm, sunny, winds gone...possible light showers late day with "for sure" rains in morning.🙃 Better enjoy today! There's plenty to do out there, better get to it!
