Okay, this is it ... well, okay, that's what I thought LAST night! Tonight I would love to say yup, that is "goo" that I am seeing from my one doe - but well, maybe it's not. Maybe it was just something else OR maybe it was what I thought it was, and now it's gone and I'm waiting for the other "goo" to start. Ohfercriminy, what in the world is it that I'm supposed to be finding, anyway!
But again, while we are waiting, we've been looking at many of the other things that we have heard that we need or at the very least "should have". The most interesting of things is a "kid box" which is the box you put the kid in to disbud them. (I learned last night that disbudding takes place at 10 days or less, and dehorning is after 10 days.) I'm serious, I'm learning a LOT while I wait.
The one sad part of this is that I went to my local feed store to get some iodine for the navels of these kids that I'm sure must be going to be arriving just any time. Now many of you are probably not aware of the fact that you can't buy iodine these days, due to the amount of meth users that apparently use it in their cooking. It's so sad that those things that we need to run our businesses are being banned due to those that find unethical and illegal uses for the products. Thankfully, my feed store knows me, and knows that I have animals, and is more than willing to go and get some for me from some unknown point. But, it's still sad that I can't just grab it off the shelf like I could not so long ago.
For now, I'll go back to my homework and continue to listen ...
