Yep, He's in Rut

Love is a frustrating thing. Though I think what my buck experiences is more lust driven by his raging goatie hormones. It makes for some hilarious moments, though I do feel badly for the poor lad, that he is so lovesick and yet cannot find satisfation!

No, he has to wait a little while longer. With help of the AGS Goat Gestation Calculator (set to mini sized goats), I am not letting George and Yoko have a date until a bit later. A lot of breeders do have kids born in the winter, because parasites and coccidia are not a problem. But there is the chance of inclement and bitter cold weather. Though I have built some nice goat sized stalls in the outbuilding/hay storage area/tractor house, for kidding time.

Anyway, here are some silly pictures of George!



Rather than egg on his face, he has fur on his face

Yoko in heat teasing poor Georgie. She is quite the trollop when it is her time!
Plus, you can hear the noises he makes, all the snorting and meeping! 

Big flehmen response!

And a bit of tongue waggling

Trying to...hoof her?

More good smells

His eyes are just so funny when he does this

Hurr durr, I'ma goat

And lastly, frustration. Taken out on the boy haus in progress.
