"Absolutely, Michael, weighing is more accurate. The first year, I used a measuring cup and have since found out that they are not all equal nor are canning jars even!
I absolutely love the Simple Pulse. I am sure that since this was a…"

I looked at two bucks today. Before I went out, I was sure which one I wanted to breed my girls to. I have two to breed. However, when I went out there, the original one I went to see was very…Continue

Feed for bucklings to add weight

Okay, I've always had the boys wethered and have not kept them because of my limitations (City code). I have two bucklings, born mid-April, that are too thin. It is winter which is undoubtedly…Continue
U.C. and baking soda

Something to add the U.C. conversation. Some bucks and wethers are subject to it while others on similar diets seem not to be. It is commonly believed grain and alfalfa are a factor so many recommend…Continue

Glenna Rose replied to Myra Isaac's discussion Chilling Milk Quickly Equipment Question"Ice water immediately initially. You don't need pitchers, use a bucket if you have more than one jar to put in there (or any large deep pan).In the beginning, I put it in the freezer for half and hour because I read that was what to do.…"
Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Glenna Rose's discussion Dilemma regarding Cryptorchid"I'm so sorry, Glenna. You know I'm going to tell you not to beat yourself up about this. You did what you thought was best, and that's the best that any of us can do. I would have done the same thing -- tried to do the same thing. At…"

Glenna Rose replied to Judy Metcalf's discussion The hardest week ever"Thank you, Judy. It's been rough each time as you know much too well. I am so grateful to not have lost any of my does though heartbroken about the little ones.I am happy for you (and Cali and Halo) the the little ones are back in…"
Glenna Rose replied to Judy Metcalf's discussion The hardest week ever"Thank you, Deborah. I am certainly getting tired of burying kids! Eight of 24 buried - that is way too high. Worse, with more knowledge or being there at birth, every one preventable. Three (two last year and one this year)…"
Glenna Rose replied to Glenna Rose's discussion Which buck?"I pretty much decided on Merle, at least for Dollie, after I saw them both even though I only went out to look at LeRoy who came from the same farm as Dollie's dad. Leroy's line has a lot of good milkers, at least on that farm.…"
Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Glenna Rose's discussion Which buck?"I'd be partial to Merle because he is almost entirely Pholia Farms, which is a dairy with great milkers. But I'm simply not as familiar with the other pedigree, so they could be good milkers too.
As for the blue eyes, they're dominant…"
Glenna Rose replied to Judy Metcalf's discussion The hardest week ever"Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I wish I could say I could only imagine how you feel, but I have had more than my share of kidding heartbreak. In fact, just today, I came home to two babies, one alive with mom and the other dead at the…"
Glenna Rose posted a discussionWhich buck?
I looked at two bucks today. Before I went out, I was sure which one I wanted to breed my girls to. I have two to breed. However, when I went out there, the original one I went to see was very appealing but then I looked at her second buck and he is as well! Now I am not sure which boy to use. They both have great lines. One, LeRoy, is from the same herd as I bred one of my does to so one of the girls I breed will be from the same herd. LeRoy's dad fathers does with huge orifices. The…See More
Glenna Rose replied to Daniella Lake's discussion Accidental Possible Breeding"As Deborah said, your vet is the best one to ask. With that said, what I just went through - the not-known-when-due kids born today - I would lute them all. When my boys got into the pen with the girls, I saw them within half an hour and…"
