Frankincense is now 3 weeks old! He is growing very, very fast. He is quite the social goat...He nibbles and jumps at anyone who comes in the goat pen. He may need some training! Since he is 3 weeks old, it is time for his coccidiosis prevention regime. He gets a round of "di-methox" which helps keep the nasty parasites away! I know of several goats in my area who seemed to have issues with cocci, so I feel it is a good idea to give him this treatment.
He wasn't exactly sure what I was doing. But, he got most of it! Actually, Elly May "attacked" me as she associates the drencher with something sweet (I occasionally dip the end in agave or honey). Silly Elly May!
Happy Frankincense!
Summer won't "officially" be here until mid-June. But here in Central Texas, we are experiencing the changing from Spring to Summer very noticeably. "Blue Bell" the Great Pyrenees thinks that the lazy days of summer are already here...
We have seen several large snakes on our property recently--one even in our yard!
The cactus are blooming too! I am always amazed at how such a prickly plant can produce the most beautiful dainty blossoms! In this picture you can see a dewberry in the background (another lovely creation that grows among thorns). We have enjoyed lots of yummy berries recently as well!
Stay tuned as Edna is due tomorrow!
