And yeah, I'm keeping my distance. <br /><br />Isn't that weird, Carolyn!?!! And yeah I've considered a shock stick but I'm afraid I'll drop it in a mud puddle and shock myself! *thud* Until then my beatin' stick - or an axe handle - works really well. <br /><br />I can't wait until this guy rides away into the sunset, Traci....ugh!<br /><br />Hi Lori! Great to see you! He's a La Mancha - just like Dahli and Debbie. <br /><br />Anton, almost everyone I know is having trouble this year. Even the pro breeders/herd masters that I know. We think its the hot weather from this summer. All the goaties are having weird heat cycles. So frustrating. And yeah after the 2nd time of our long drive up to the breeder we figure it was cheaper to buy a buck! For heavens sakes!<br /><br />Chai Chai - OHMIGOSH IT IS FRED! *runs to the door yells, "Fred! is that you, Fred!? I love you Fred!"<br />And Little Mo is a genius.... for so many reasons. ;-)<br /><br />Hi Cheri! And glad you pitched in... I spend whole days wishing them goats were cows.... every. dang. day. *sigh* One day I'll have enough pasture and a cow to put in it. <br /><br />AnnNF - its totally crazy this year. Its so late in the season that many of the bucks are um.. that is.. being sold by the pound at the ethnic markets. No one wants to overwinter another critter with these hay prices. Just ridiculous.

Nicholas slapped a paw to his forehead and shook his head. "Note to self, Little Mo is no genius" he muttered to himself.

Snagglehorn's will was subverted, he was under the control of another - one who was a mortal enemy of OFG. <br /><br />It was easy once Nicholas found "Snagglehorn's" true name, a task made much easier by OFG's casual disregard of his secret paperwork.<br /><br />In the courtyard one moment Snagglehorn was carousing with his "harem" and the next his eyes rolled back as the spirit of Fred took control of his body.<br /><br />Warmaster Titan immediately felt the presence of his old nemesis and only his quick reflexes saved OFG from Snagglehorn's (Fred)charge.<br /><br />Watching on high from the safety of one of the Keeps arrow ports Nicholas laughed softly. "This should be a humorous three weeks!"

The first buck they were all bred to turned out to be too young and they all came back into heat. I got some of them bred but then two others came into heat again on Thanksgiving day and I wasn't about to make the drive. I hope they come back in later this month. Ah, goat breeding!<br /><br />www.broadwayandthresher.comAntonhttp://www.broadwayandthresher.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-22953172099045352172012-12-03T19:18:40.592-05:002012-12-03T19:18:40.592-05:00WOW....sorry about all your breeding woes.

I go pick up my girls next week. Hopefully they are pregnant and much calmer than when I took them up there. We can't have a buck here either.

It was the happiest day of my life when the buck I got for free (always be wary of free - because he was really an A$$) drove out of here in a little trailer and they paid me for him!!!!!!! Suckers!

I HATED Pan (the one I traded for maize), and now the new Boer buck is starting to challenge me. I will NOT tolerate an animal that challenges MY authority here on the farm. I think it's high time you and I got ourselves one of these:<br /><br />http://www.qcsupply.com/farm-livestock/handling/livestock-cattle-prods/50090-magrath-stock-shock-9-24.html<br /><br />I'm asking Santa for one this year.
