Ok - got babies - at an auction.

We tried to take tags off the alpine looking one - while in the disbudding box - but the wire cutters wouldn't cut them! The metal part says NYS. Wonder if we just cut the auction (yellow) tag off. We had them out running around today for an hour or two I'm keeping a close eye on them. What age can we actually worm them. We got them 7th February, and as I said judging by cords, maybe a couple of days to two weeks at the most for the bigger one. Already have noticed a difference since we got them. I gave them antibiotics the day after we got them home. I figure Maybe October I will run CAE/CL/ panel on them.

 

Already starting on the cocci prevention . Doing as I would and have done with babies from our own moms .

 

There were a couple of older does there, some lamancha, but I figured best stick with the babies.

 

Figure an update. All 4 doing great. Peanut keeps breaking out - and the black and white one - Brats

 

We just need to put some chicken wire around the cattle panels till they get too big to squeeze through. She thinks we are around - out she pops and runs up with the dogs. I can't even get up for a drink of water at night, without them pushing the chairs away and popping out thinking its bottle time! I think I got to make some room in one of the sheds, time for them to be out of the living room. Especially since we had a surprise delivery of one of our alpine does of two pure black bucklings! I just hope and pray that when they are old enough to blood test - all is clear.
