It took a couple days but he is spitting and peeing like a proper king.
This morning I took the goats out to pasture and noticed that he was aiming for Kimiko.
Thank you buck for finally telling me when she’s in heat!
I couldn’t get a date on that girl before but today it was clearly her time.
I went to feed them on pasture and between the ten steps it took to get from the gate to the feeder he mounted her twice! The poor girl instantly went down under his weight (I really had my hands full so I couldn’t intervene). I took Kimiko back to the barn with me and Jiro followed too. Kimi is just a tad too small for the big guy yet.
Kimiko, Shizu's daughter.
When we arrived at the barn I noticed that Jiro was picking up on the idea from the big guy and made an attempt to copy him.
Maybe there is hope for the little fella after all.
Jiro is perfect for Kimi’s size. We might get either a boer cross from the two big guy attempts or a purebred kid from Jiro. Jiro and Kimi share the same space at night (and or rainy days) anyway.
The others are still on pasture. Our new guy is sniffing them all and making the funny noises I was waiting to hear. Nobody else is in heat yet, I expect Sizu to get into heat either the 4th or the 7th. I don’t have a date on Ayumi yet either but I’ll be keeping a close eye on them.
To be continued..
I left a comment on your last post about the name for that buck. You must have other things to do than reply. All good, it happens.
He needed to earn the name first (it would be strange calling him that otherwise) but I do like it!
