Handsome dude... wish u were close then I def wouldn't breed Jupiter with my ND bucks lol

well, a lot of people like those mini Nubians so at least you have that going for the cross.
too bad you're not closer I have too many bucks at the moment

I swear I’ve tried. Elevated cages, putting them on the roost, and ice packs. It never stops them more than two days. I’m just getting chicks.

Try to wash their belly with cold water, just soak their belly and tail in a bucket of cold water.

that is what I did with a couple of Rudy's that wouldn't give up, but were totally unsuccessful. I got half a dozen ba chicks for them both and sent them underneath them those are the only chicks I could find that had just hatched. it worked out well, but they're not as pretty as my reds.View attachment 2335346

Dax do you occasionally eat your goats?

Dax do you occasionally eat your goats?

not today. until this year I've always raised a steer so every year or year and a half I had a half a steer with one person so I never needed it. so I mostly sell my kids and if I have a death with my older goats they're too much of a pet I try to find somebody who might be interested.

Damascus steel, 2 kind of micarta has handel, DIY mosaic pin, hand made knife sheath.

Thanks Sally, every thing is done by me, except the metal billet itself, I don't have the forge the equipment and the place for foreign steel. But I design and cut the steel, heat treated it and temper it, and grind it and sharpen it, drill the holes, make the micarta (laminated paper strip/cloth with resin in between) for the handel, prepare the mosaic pin, I also PREPARE all the chemicals I need like the Fheric chloride I use for etchings the steel, and I don't say nothing abaout the leathers work! I so enjoy this hobby because it make me learn so much new things, I love it!
