You better have your smeller checked out. Bucks can get downright rank!

Mine weren't smelly. But the cows were!

I had Pygmy goats.

try removing the smell after wrestling them

cool..
I am going to have my little join the FFA and 4H programs as soon as he is old enough.
I'd like for him to show chickens BUT they only show meat birds in our area

4-H is a really good program for kids of all ages. It not only teaches responsibility, but a lot of other skills and you make really good friends even if you live in different school districts. That's weird....the poultry program at our fair is huge and we have so many different classes that range from meat ducks to show peafowl to all different kinds of egglayers and fancy bantams!

how big is your land? I'll gladly help as much as I can even though we are a few states away

And I can relate to the poultry, they only do Chicken Chain here and that is pretty much either meat bird (rocks) or layers (leghorns)

Do you have different classs for the other livestock? We have tons of chicken classes along with a lot of different goat classes and tons of different cattle/swine/lamb/horse stuff too. Our fair is really big though, so it makes sense.

nope not unless is unfortunate enough to be his "buddy" normally we band ours at 3 weeks unless in the case of one he never developed testosterone even at 6-7 months then we had full scrotum remove surgery done on him. The smell from bucks is because they pee on themselves

edit for auto correct making us sound very dirty

Bucks are sick.

for beef cattle and dairy it broken down between commercial and registered stock, the first is broken up between different crosses I.E. Brahman influence,Elngish cross etc. the dairy cattle is the same but it more base on "jersey like" etc. lamb is all crosses, no woolies or breeding really done. Market goats we only have boar really shown with wethers and breeding does, hogs are broken up between crosses and breed but both hilt and barrow are shown together. Poultry here is divided between meat and layer, the open show run by the state association is APA/ABA. Dairy goats is base off the Dairy goat association.

It's interesting to see how different fairs do it. We have all meat cattle together, any breeding projects are done by age, all market swine are together, woolies and market lambs are separate. Then we have performance, meat, dairy, and pet goats. And for poultry we have market chickens, laying chickens, fancy chickens, market ducks, breeding ducks, breeding turkeys, meat turkeys, meat geese, breeding geese, show guineas, and show peafowl. And then all the horse classes. It's crazy, there's so maybe animal at our fair.

our 4H horse state show is in June. Ms really pushes for beef :/ it the only species you can show both bulls and heifers, everything else is either snip males only or females. Minus poultry and rabbits
