Or offer helpful suggestions on improving their body condition once they're delivered?
There's a Jersey pair, "horned Hereford" bull calf (I thought Herefords were polled? but don't really care too much), 6 unknown breed beef heifers, and 2 Longhorn beef crosses.
Picked up these 3 beauties at a bargain yesterday, but also need names for 3 of this year's keeper doelings and our bottle baby mini Mancha.
Current names in the herd are Cupcake, Hank, Biscuit, Bambi, Cadence, Rendezvous, Shelia, Honey, Starbucks, Frozone, CJ, Rusty, and Ragweed.
Picked up a new Nigerian buck, used a waterproof cargo area cover and plentiful shavings. Removed cover and shavings, car is still pretty fragrant. Please help.
I have the opportunity to buy them but have never in my life spent so much on an animal.
I am a sucker for color but also they're large well built kids and originally I was just looking for a boer buck because I have a lamancha x nubian doe who always has big thick kids and I started to wonder...
Found her in the snow when I went to change waters, she was really cold and I think they may have kept her from bleeding to death. Now that she's warming up the blood is making it hard for her to breathe and part of her beak is broken.
The guy I got the eggs from had some beautiful spaldings and blackshoulders but said my eggs were most likely from the India blues, but this baby doesn't match the rest. Also have two older chicks from him where one is very dark brown and one is much lighter.
Canelo is still gaining weight but he seems overly spooky and I read that this may be because of his diet-he gets free choice grass, 2-3 flakes of alfafa a day, and twice daily scoops of pelleted feed (a mix of SafeChoice Maintenance, alfalfa pellets, and a little all stock sweet, like a 3:2:1...
Can you guess what he was hiding? Also sorry if the Canelo posts get annoying, feel free to tell me to shut up!
Nuts! :rantHe is not, in fact, a gelding. No one noticed but the farrier. He was even penned next to 2 fillies and a mare at the vet clinic and didn't act out. We also...
Canelo is continuing to improve, but he's not near as sassy as I would expect a horse of his age to be on a 28 degree day, not sure if I should be more concerned or thanking my lucky stars.
He does seem to have strong opinions on things (nylon halters and native grass hay are a big no from him ...
Can this work until spring? The pair of bobwhites and the pair of ringnecks already cohabitate peacefully, but the coturnix is all alone. She was the sole survivor from when the male scalped all of his lady friends. She is white, so I worry about her being a target
This is not a question of "should I buy" because I know I shouldn't but am going to anyway but more of a question of "is he going to improve in the next 2 weeks and what could possibly be wrong with him"
Saw a horse on CL, made an appointment to go look at him. In the CL ad he looks a little...
