When dealing with livestock, some sort of training is always involved. Break to lead, brace, how to stand still on a clipping stand, etc. But there is also breaking does to go through gate and training does to stay away from you as you walk through a pen while holding a bucket. It is also common to have to train goats how to eat.<\/p>\n
I have a set of wethers that I recently purchased that had been fed several different feeds. They are thin, but the parts are there. It has taken me a little over a week to get these dudes trained to knock the bottom out of the feed pan. But we are rolling now. So, maybe by August, I will have them looking like they should. Training a wether to eat isn’t hard, but it does take some patience, a little time, some know-how, some common sense and most of the time, we can get them eating properly. <\/p>\n
The signs are right for banding wethers. Duke and I spent several hours on Monday, banding, worming, vaccinating and ear tagging a pile of goats. Now, we have a bunch of wethers walking a little humped up. I just wish there would have been more wethers. There was a lot of doe kids. <\/p>\n
Today, Duke and I fought the wind to drive into SW Oklahoma. We went to look at Schenberger’s offering that will be sold online this week. That is a nice of goats. There are several top shelf wethers and a really good set of doe kids. Well worth your time to go look, call him or bid. <\/p>\n
We made it back to Shattuck in time for Duke’s ball game. But it had been cancelled. Duke and I were the only two that didn’t know. So, we got Tammy and headed to Woodward to the movies. Tammy, Duke and I went to watch the movie “How To Train Your Dragon part 2”. We really liked the first one and this one was well worth the time & money. I really like these movies. They are well written and exciting. I just wish that it would have been the 3D version. <\/p>\n
And yes, I do find some humour that Duke and I took the Dragon Lady to a “How to Train Your Dragon” movie. Contrary, to the movie, some things aren’t easily trained. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
