Ewes and Feeders

Here are a couple of updated photo's of the Ewe flock. They are enjoying the feeders that we put together this year. They are just made from pig panels that are cut and tied together with baler twine. We have enlarged 2 rows of holes for the bigger headed critters that alternate wires that have been removed. These feeders have cut down on the amount of waste. We have tried them wrapped around round bales and filled with small squares and they work great. The sheep just push the panels together as the hay goes down allowing them to clean it all up.

Our New Goat Bucks

Hi All, It has been too long since this blog was updated. I will try to do better in the future. There has been a couple of new additions over the last while. I would like to introduce to you our 2 new Dairy Goat bucks. First up is Casper, he is 3/4 Nubian and 1/4 Saanen. He is just a youngster and we are raising him to breed to our Dairy goat does in the future.

Below is another new Dairy buck, Lucifer. Lucifer is 7/8 Nubian and 1/8 Toggenburg. He is slated for this falls breeding to our Dairy Goat does. He does have a little bit of an attitude but that is due to his being raised as a spoiled bottle baby and then being kept in tact. I recommend that no ram lamb or buckling that is bottle fed be kept in tact. They don't tend to grow up with a healthy respect for their handlers and can develop some attitude issues or habits. He is getting better with his respect issues however and I expect he will put some lovely kids on the ground in 2014.
