I know I thought crazy Sheila would have one on each horn but she seems fine with them and the goats aren't big enough for goat kabob's yet

right now they are driving me nutz  as I think there are still 2 cows to calve.     Plan on selling breeding stock and keeping an occasional one for dinners   LOTS of dinners.    And grow the herd slightly

Do they make good eating?

Shall I remind you that you still need to get tail hairs?

This is a first time mom. So I don't want to rush her.

Maybe a couple to start. You can add more later. That's fairly natural.

How long has she been broody? I had one take over a nest and killed everything that hatched before her 21 days. After 21 days, she was an excellent mother.

evidently goat and yaks do mix. Rod's 2 small goatlings got under the gate and are busy hanging out with the yaks every one seems fine with this and now Tibbit's and Wagoner have new play mates.

We would be able to vicariously enjoy this if we could somehow see pictures!!

the fence get finished on Monday and the head gate attached, then regular gates on Friday and the yak drive over to that paddock to settle down a little before the rodeo the following week. NEW earings for the cows and calves, pours, hair collection.

You aren't going to slaughter a yak for many years, Twist!
