lute or no?

Be careful not to hit the sciatic nerve if going in the hind end. If you DNA type, you will need to type both bucks and then all the kids. It is possible to get kids from different sires in the same breeding if both were successful.

 

I give all my IM injections in the neck to avoid the nerve goatblessings mentioned.

 

I was always told hormones always have to be IM and in the neck.
But if your nervous, yes see if the vet will do it for you. It’s a good idea anyways if your a female.......even if your not pregnant it can screw with you if it spills on you (yep I know that one for a fact!) I won’t touch it any more without gloves on.
But if you have to give it just let us know, I’m sure we can walk you threw it

 

I believe this is @happybleats picture, but it has a great graphic on where to give injections. When I had to lute I used the divet in the front shoulder. Feel around for the deep dent and go in at 90* check for blood and inject. It worked perfectly and there was very little fuss.

 

I believe you talked me through it lol thank you btw.
I just put that doe in with Merlin for her first breeding today along with her twin. They turn two in Jan. So it's finally the right time

 

Changing topic-I love that Saanen doe in the example! Beautiful girl!

 

Thank you. That was Vixen. She was an amazing milker and super sweet personality.
