breeding & Lysigin ??

Well as I see it, you have two options.. you could wait and breed after the 11th, giving them their 2nd round or put 'em in with the buck on the first and don't. If Vicki say's "Not" to do/give anything the first 50 days after breeding, I'd heed her warnings. :biggrin

 

:shrug I know she had one there.. :really

 

I was wondering the same thing THE cyber GREMLINS ARE AT IT AGAIN

 

I just don't do anything the first 50 days of pregnancy, but that doesn't mean a vaccination can hurt the pregnancy, we don't know. But other than the first 50 days of pregnancy, no vaccine, worming etc., is going to harm the fetus. There is also no milk withdrawal on vaccination. I do try to time giving my girls I keep their Lysigin 4 weeks before and then again the weekend before (21 day after the first shot) the buck is going in the pen or they will be bred that month.

Do make sure you watch your technique on vaccinations of bred does. It's not the time to put an armpit vaccination into a heavy bred doe who is then to sore to walk around and get exercise.

Ya'll are already breeding does? Fall milk? Vicki

 

Funny story while I was away showing husband sold almost a freezer full of milk, soap, all the honey I had jarred and all the eggs for the week. He told me we ought to be milking more goats WE! He did go out and clean my vacume pump for me, since I had sucked a bucket of bleach water into it milking at 4 am Vicki

 

OH yeh I love that WE part.

 

They are funny creatures, aren't they!?
Lynn, we're thinking of milking through the winter also.. only because DH's new cow is going to calve in Nov, and so we won't be going anywhere!

 

Yeah I love that "we" part too. They all of a sudden perk up when the money comes in. :rofl but when it's chore time it's another story.

Chores? Not one soul on this place knows how to run the milking machine but me. I bet my grandson who is only 2 would be helpful, he at last knows what ends the inflations go on Vicki

 

:rofl

 

Well DH has a month to learn

 

YEH but Lynn I am too old to start having children again to train to milk

 

ROD has but not using the machine and with this many goats.

 

My dh will milk if he must and he occasionally helps with the other chores.
