I was in college the first time that I heard this term used in a judging situation. \u00a0I distinctly remember asking, “Uhhh, what does P.O.S. stand for?”<\/p>\n
I felt like a D.S. when I found out what P.O.S. stood for. \u00a0I should have seen that one coming. \u00a0If you don’t know, P.O.S. \u00a0stands for Piece Of $h!t.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tonight, I tested the P.O.S. term. \u00a0I have always kind of wondered what the Point Of Separation spacing needed to be in order to keep does from bashing panels. \u00a0I recently re-worked pens and made lots of alleys, gates and spacing. \u00a0The closest P.O.S. for does in general population versus does penned near bucks was 96″. \u00a0That would be 8 damn feet of separation.<\/p>\n
I can now tell you that 8 damn feet of P.O.S. is not enough to keep me from throwing stuff and calling does a P.O.F.S. \u00a0Distance does NOT matter to these destructive P.O.S. animals. \u00a0It is all L.O.S. \u00a0If there is a Line Of Sight, they will bash panels. \u00a0I guess I’m going to have to hang some rubber mats on the panels. \u00a0But, that brings other issues in this part of the world. \u00a0I’m not sure if I have ever mentioned this on here, but, I don’t like dealing with mature does.<\/p>\n
Just last Thursday, we got a snow. \u00a0Dang near a foot of the WETTEST snow that I have ever seen. \u00a0Thank GOD it wasn’t windy. \u00a0We had several loads of tree limbs to haul off. \u00a0It would have been a POS kind of deal if there would have been wind. \u00a0The snow weighed down fences, panels and electric lines. \u00a0Any other added weight to any panels would have made for a train wreck. \u00a0We needed the moisture but this was a different kind of weather.<\/p>\n
Speaking of POS does. \u00a0I am trying a new regiment for a cystic doe. \u00a0I’ll let you know if it works.<\/p>\n
An older (5 year old) decided not to re-breed last year. Obviously a good one or I would have already sale-barned the female dog. \u00a0Last fall,\u00a0I tried to AI her and then she got marked by a buck 5 more times. \u00a0POFS. \u00a0She is fat, looks awesome and hasn’t had a kid since Feb. of 2018. \u00a0Here is what we did:<\/p>\n
Day 1–CIDr & 2 ccs of Lutalyse (lut)<\/p>\n
Day 7– pull CIDr & 1 cc of PG 600<\/p>\n
Day 8–3 ccs of cystorelin.<\/p>\n
I’m guessing that she won’t come in properly, will probably bash the hell out of some panels and I will be pissed. \u00a0Hunh\u2026just another day in the goat industry.<\/p>\n
It is now breeding season around here. \u00a0Breed now and we are kidding past OYE. \u00a0Time to get serious. \u00a0JFCWDIPUWTFCMFPOSMFD DOES!!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
