Yup...wished you lived closer...would love to see him for real, and also that beautiful girl Callie!!!! Kind of a long drive though, eh?

Nice you are using "eh" correctly for the Canadian

Not too long. lol Well I guess it is.

Yeah, Callie is looking great. She's getting real big and she loves people so much. She actually listens pretty good now too and she does follow me when I call her and she does sit, sometimes. I love her to death!!

I told ya I have a wee bit of Canadian in me. And I always say 'eh'. lol

Got my Scrapie tags in today.

Still thinking about getting Premier's colored ones for identification.

I was dead set getting the EasyTag II size 2 from Premier as my farm tag, but my Scrapie tags are Allflex so I just went to Southern States and put in an order for custom Allflex farm tags so they would match. Also, with my experience with both brands (Premier and Allflex), Allflex tags have better retention rates than Premier tags.

Good to know. I may have to try that. Can they be customized and colored?

Yeah I requested the medium tag (the same size as the Scrapie tags I got in the mail) and then I wanted blue tags. I also just wanted numbers 1-25, but I'm sure you can ask for your ranch name/logo on there. Don't know if there's an additional charge for that or not.

Cool. I will ask next time I'm over there. That is better than having to try and do it over the internet, eh? I'm liking orange and green. I'm still thinking up the identification scheme though. I will have to have my Scarpie number of course and I'll have a number for the goat. I think I'll also put my SHK on it too. I may use different colors for different sexes but I may just use different ears for that.

Straw....a little bit of Canadian in you? I knew you were a kindred spirit

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

Yes ma'am. Just a wee bit of it though. I've always liked Canada though. I love the accent. LOL I also know the Canadian National Anthem.


So today I trimmed all the Nigerain and Milly's hooves. It is so wet out there that they needed it done rather soon. Kikos don't need it though. Yeah baby. lol

When I was doing Mill's though she kicked and my very sharp pointed trimmers went right into my finger. On the backside of my pointing finger just bellow the first joint. It went tip in and and didn't feel so good. I had to go clean it out quick though because anything that is cutting animal hooves and is removing feces and dirt from hooves could be bad. It went in pretty deep but I'm alright. I shall live. lol

All the Kiko does are looking big and fat. Moses is also packing on some pounds too. I can't wait till the first when I weigh them. I want to see those ADG so bad.


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving which is my favorite day of the year. I'm pretty exited and looking forward to it. I hope everyone enjoys it and gives Thanks.

"Dumb ways to die..oh dumb ways to die...." Poo puncture might need some antibiotics and tetanus shot I hate wearing gloves and I always think to myself that I should be wearing them when I am trimming hooves, especially when I have to do my kicky buckling, but gloves are just too annoying.

The ONLY time I wear gloves is when I wear my cow gloves and I use them only when doing the bucks because I have to grab a leg. lol

Yeah, I hate gloves too. But you're right, that would be a dumb way to die!!!! LOL
