Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

I think you should LS, I can still see the top of her head down in that hole
But for real ... I admire the drive you have to start the dairy Babs!

Just call me crazy. To be honest this may have been one of the stupidest things I have ever done, next to getting married.

Life is all about change...and fine tuning. You're just fine tuning right now!

As far as easy to handle... he is about 50 lbs and shy with me, so I just leash him and walk/carry him to where I need him. I would like him to be a little more friendly, but I'll take a generic 'not aggressive' anyday. He has been doing this stupid head banging thing on the plywood section of the fence, just standing there smashing his head against one spot over and over again, but I have a feeling that banding his horns will put a little damper on that sort of thing shortly. No special care required, other than keeping the band on and adding a new one every now and then to keep pressure on it. I used this stuff called alushield this year when I disbudded, its a silver colored spray , like $17.00 a bottle, but I think I like it, so I will probably spray that on there. I wasnt planning on doing anything special besides watching and waiting, myself. And Oh yeah!! all the bucks here are coming into rut! Love is in the air!!!! I can smell it!

I wasn't planning on going up to grandmas anytime soon, Im a little unsure about the truck right now, but I can let you know if I change my mind. I would probably have to keep it just to the grandma in sacramento though. Might be too much to try and drive farther than that.

And he isn't related to any of the other bucks you have from me, unless you go back to the ends of his pedigree, I know I saw some of the really old foundation names there, some Copper penny, Caesars villa, Kaapio acres, Promised land... But even better than that, he has several *M and +*B plus a couple of superior genetics designations and a couple GCH and one SGCH in his pedigree. I was hoping to post a copy here for you, but my email to myself seems to be sleeping.... Here are a couple pics of him, pretty nice looking boy even though the pics aren't greatest.

What's his name?
I think I remember when you got him.

Dutch Nickel Ladies Man aka Manny

He has only been here for a year and even though he was so young, I used him over some of my best does cause I was so excited about him.

3 weeks old and enjoying their first puppy food... with goat's milk of course. Living on a goat dairy has its perks. These pups are HUGE!!!

Awww! They are just precious!!! I would love to have a puppy or two around here. However, DH thinks we have enough going on, to keep us busy.
