I've never had does butt heads to the point of getting hurt, but a couple of bucks did once. So it's pretty unusual for anyone to…"

Marin Waddell said… Hi Deborah, do you know much about parrot mouth? We have one kid with a severe overbite. He's nursing fine, but I'm wondering about his ability to eat after weaning.

Mason Hill Farm said… Hi Deborah - our kids are all due in April. Each of our does came in heat one week apart so that will be an interesting month. We were lucky - every Saturday in November we visisted a differant local farm where we had lined up a stud so they all will have differant sires. It just so happens that all of the sires were white (what are those odds) so all of the colors may be a surprise.

Margaret Langley said… Sorry Deborah, haven't been checking my email lately. Just found the email about the book quote. Of course, I would't mind dear. In fact, I am very honored. Just remember, I am no grammar whiz, just a redneck, so make sure it's all RIGHT ok! Any time!

Hi Debbie....I hope you remember me. I had asked for advice for my 3 ND does that I had purchased. You gave me some GREAT advice.
One of my does, Cinnamon gave birth to triplet bucklings on Dec. 9th. That was my first experience and for Cinnamon also.
I hope I can download a picture for you.
The "boys" are so healthy and Cinnamon came through it wonderfully.
Thank you again,
Adele Rodgers
I can't seem to download a picture for you...I'll try later

I have been getting endless amount of emails from this forum, everytime someone posts I get an email. I enjoy seeing who is posting and all but it is just blowing up my email, how do I get this to stop?
Thanks,

Amy Bell said… Deborah, just wanted to let you know that I have contacted a few breeders about the possibility of a buckling purchase. I am waiting to see what hits the ground in January and I will go from there and see if there's anything that will work for me. So let me know what you get if they are not spoken for already. Thanks, Amy
