Greetings all. Last weekend I got the test results back on the goats. All 3 does are bred, and also everyone had been tested for CL, CAE, and John’s. I can now say they are “clean tested Herd”. Supper exciting. I knew everyone was healthy and happy as they can be, but just for a better state of mind. Huge relief.
The process of drawing the blood to then send off was a bit of a learning curve for me. I learned by watching a few YouTube videos and then by jumping right in and going for it. After having some difficulty on the does, the boys I saved to do last as they are a bit smelly, the boys I should have practiced on first. They took it like champs and were so easy to do.
In the future I’m sure I will better get the hang of it with more practice. Just one more thing I now know that I can do.
Kidding season starts the first of March. More news and updates to follow.
