It is 8:12 and the sun won't be going down till 11:30.

Cool! It's 10:20 here and still fairly light out. Easy to see outside.

No idea.

Yeah, me either.

Any idea of what might cause a late term abortion in goats? My sister thinks it is a deficiency.

Could be a Selenium deficiency.

It can cause abortions, weak kids, still born, soft bones, etc.

Also sometimes if a goat is bred and the buck tries breeding again after the doe is already bred than it can cause abortions.

Seems we keep coming back to this Selenium. That's what she thinks it is, she recently read that we have just about the lowest possible score on the map for natural selenium. Don't think Ben's tried that since he bred her after we got them.

I didn't mean to post to that yet... Had more to say!

Copper, magnesium, and Vitamin A, can all cause this to happen.

Do you keep loose minerals out for them?

Dan, I will reply later... Gotta go shopping. -_-

Hmm. Not loose no, they have a mineral block.

Well, I've got the taste of revenge in my mouth.

And its delicious. >=]

There's this mange-ridden fox that's been wreaking havoc in the whole neighborhood single pawed, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, and it got my precious Brucie Wayne while we were at church tonight.

I sic'ed Aspen on em.

Cornered the tricking thing in a pipe.

And dad had to shoot it TEN TIMES BEFORE THE STUPID THING DIED.

HE WOULD SHOOT DOWN THE PIPE, AND IT STARTED CRAWLING TOWARD HIM!!!!!

TOWARDS THE HUMAN, WHO WREAKS OF ADRENALINE AND GUNSMOKE AND DOG, AND WHO WAS POUNDING SHOTGUN SHELLS INTO ITS HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But he's dead now. And I am EXTREMLY happy. >=]

So, I candled the eggs under my broody hens today. 4 of Chesta's eggs were infertile, and the 5th one was missing .

Out of the other 3 eggs, 1 was dead and the two others seem to be doing great! I also found a new egg in the nest which was developing.

Out of my 8 eggs, only 2 actually have a chance at hatching... I wonder why all of Chesta's eggs were infertile.
