The food and snacks has been really good the past few days. \u00a0Too good. \u00a0I’m pretty sure that I am fatter.<\/p>\n
I promise you that I have does fatter than I normally do. \u00a0And they are a bunch of welfare acting morons. \u00a0They constantly have a round bale of cover crop mix (cowpeas, teff grass, german millet, hay grazer, collard greens, okra, crabgrass) \u00a0Very good hay. \u00a0I also feed them a 14% protein pellet every evening. \u00a0They turn into crackheads when they hear any movement towards their run. \u00a0One in particular. \u00a0I hate this 10 minute period of time every evening. \u00a0It doesn’t matter if there are 20 does or 120, they are miserable creatures.<\/p>\n
In the great movie, “The Cowboys”, John Wayne’s character tells the boys that a cow is the orneriest, meanest, most destructive animal GOD ever created. \u00a0 Obviously, he hadn’t dealt with a doe goat. \u00a0Dang, that is such a good movie. \u00a0It is a western, a coming-of-age story, action movie, deals with age stereotypes, racism, just a touch of sex and has some great comedic lines. \u00a0I won’t argue if one says that this is the best John Wayne movie.<\/p>\n
Some genetics just don’t convert feed. \u00a0This has become an issue in all species but it shouldn’t be a positive. \u00a0Currently dealing with several wethers that are eating good, get wormed monthly, kept warm, get a dose of Marquis monthly, yet they are gaining only a couple of pounds per month. \u00a0They are healthy and look good. \u00a0They are just non-converters.<\/p>\n
On other hand, there are some goats that are flat cranking and putting the pounds on. \u00a0It is a genetic thing and current trends look like we will continue to deal with the slow-grows as long as they look good and win.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I hope everyone had a merry Christmas. \u00a0Please remember those that don’t have it as fortunate as all of us. \u00a0There are those that didn’t have family or friends, didn’t have much food and dang sure not the quality that we enjoyed and those that didn’t exchange gifts or enjoy warm housing. \u00a0Send some prayers for those serving as well. \u00a0Their sacrifices is what allows all of us to enjoy our blessings.<\/p>\n
Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
