Chillin' with the herd



Now that's funny!



MY NOT SO FARMER BROTHER ASK ME LAST NITE IF ONLY BUCKS HAD BEARDS, HE SAID HE WAS WATCHING A SHOW WHERE THEY WERE MILKING A GOAT AND HE SAID TO HIS WIFE, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THERE DOING, THAT GOAT HAS A BEARD:
JUST LAUGHED AT HIM, TOOO FUNNY:


Roll farms said:We know a retired couple who got some goats for pets / something to keep the husband occupied a couple of years ago.
I met them through TSC, they'd come in and ask questions every now and then.
This year I've been disbudding / banding the kids for them.
Yesterday we went to band 2 boys and while we're there, they're showing off a 3 day old kid, telling me how he was found out in a muddy field and so his name is "Muddy Waters".
I say it's a shame they had another boy (that makes 5 in a row) and that he's too pretty to be a boy. The kid just didn't look bucky to me.
The wife says, "I know...I was so disappointed when I saw he had wattles...all our boys have wattles."
I sorta stood there thinking to myself... "No....Surely they actually checked..."
I nonchalantly go pick the kid up and feel for his nuggets....none there...I flip HER over and...
"Hey guys...ummm....Wattles are NOT the danglies you need to be checking for....this is a DOE. Maybe call her "MUD-ina instead??"
Of course I had to tease them a bit about it, but they took it well and it was a great laugh.
So all you goat farmers remember...wattles do NOT indicate the sex of the kid.

don't I know it! My Maude has wattles... Unless I named her wrong... I think it would be hard for a male to pull off birthing and feeding a little buckling! LOL!
But all MY bucklings seem to have wattles.. Right back between their hind legs. Weirdest thing.Roll farms said:So all you goat farmers remember...wattles do NOT indicate the sex of the kid.![]()
