One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[OneFineAcre]

On another Climate Control note she didn't settle when Maurine took them and then when she came into heat again we got her there too late
So Maurine luted her this morning so we can plan to take her
Got the trailer hooked up

Don't congratulate us yet
We are going to test her 2 more times
That goat is eating better than me

Congrats on how she's doing so far!

 

[Southern by choice]

With kidding so late in the season she would be just right for going to Nationals.
Do you all plan on taking her or just your dwarfs?

Freeday is the better goat
She's a FF
But they are inseparable
So both will have to go

That's so sweet! We have a few like that.
Do you think maybe it's a good thing she didn't settle yet-- I know several folks say many of their goats drop way down after getting bred

 

[babsbag]

@Goat Whisperer Drop way down? How about dry up? I have two that I am pretty sure had a surprise breeding sometime in late Aug. and they are just done. That is ok, but wow...someone turned off the faucet.

Hopefully Climate won't drop too miuch
Freeday didn't. In fact she actually went up a little bit on this last test compared to the one before. And, we had Dairy One do a pregnancy test and she was confirmed bred.

Just took Buddy out on the leash in the front year and and a dann Coyote came out of the woods
He got some #4 shot from.my 410 snake charmer I always take with me at about 20 yeards

 

[OneFineAcre]

Gosh he was bold

Geeze louise! Hope he decides your place is inhospitable and doesn't come back around!
