Hoping this finds all of you blessed as we approach our Thanksgiving season.... :) It's been a busy couple of months how do we summarize?
Breeding season is nearly done, come the very last few days of Feb and March it is going to be crazy around here with so many bred so close together.... We're excited about the upcoming kid crop though! Still milking, though we will be tapering down on that after the next test- drying some up... Rosine is at 3900 and going, we plan to keep her in milk for a full 305... We also had one buck collected yesterday, Zabulon "Lonnie", so have him in the tank for future use, and have a possible buck sale in the works to Canada...
ON the herb side, wow, we are really going through the ReBuilld salves- I'm not sure if that's good or bad- that means there are injuries out there to be nurtured, but at least it's good that we have a product that is helping people :). We have a new tapeworm tincture and new menengial worm, lung worm, and liver fluke tincture in process.... We've had many requests for something for those parasites.... I really really like that RespirAide syrup! Besides doing the eucalyptus nostril swipes on 7/8 month old kids, any that had more than just a bit of a runny nose I give about 20 cc of the RespirAide usually about 3 or 4x a day and it turns them right around. Obviously for a serious problem I would give it more frequently, and combine other products & therapies with it.... ClostridEaze has come in handy this week as well. Shekkinah dumped her head into the grain barrel- we don't think she got too much- but you never know and they sure don't fess up! So I gave her about 3 tablespoons of ClostridEaze as a precautionary measure, and did that for two more followups. We never did have any problems with her, thankfully....
I did finish my aromatherapy exam a couple weeks ago, and am in the middle of both reflexology and holistic iridology... Both are absolutely fascinating!
Puppies. We had a puppy surprise this fall! It takes us 2 months to make vet apptments for doggie alterations. So 3 days before Lug's appointment, he and Peaches had a quick romance, and 2 months later we have 6 pyrenees puppies! Some are presold, some are still available. They are ready for new homes Nov 21st... This cross has made some real nice working dogs... They have been purchased to protect goats/sheep, one to protect a small pet dog, and also to protect children from predators....
Last saturday I had the pleasure of teaching an herb class in Redding for goat breeders. It was a lot of fun seeing friends and meeting new people. Thank-you for your support & hospitality as well!
This saturday I'm teaching at the Oregon meat goat conference, and I expect that will be a lot of fun as well. The best part is it is pretty local this year- so not too much for travel time :).
Blessings All,
Kat
