This note is more for me than anyone...I dosed the goats for their second time with Eprinex. It has been exactly fourteen days from the last dose so we should be getting any lice that hatched between the first dose and now. It was a bit tricky to get the meds onto Ares, our buckling. He is definitely a dam-raised buckling and is shy of any attention from humans. It makes it harder to treat him, but with the help of the kids (two-legged type), we got it done.
The does are fat and heavy with babies now. I can see that Asha's udder is starting to fill in and I think it will be a beautiful udder when she is fully freshened. Stitch and Tumbleweed (who are both more Boer than milker) also have nice looking udders. I think I might try to shave them tomorrow as Stitch in particular has some very long hair. It makes it so much easier to clean up after the birth if they are shaved.
