Today we head off to the vet to get some answers as to what is wrong with our puppy and our goats.
We have been dealing with GI problems with our pup Poppy, and when she stopped eating we decided to take her to the vet right away.
We booked an appointment for her, and as soon as we did we found out why she stopped eating...
Or so we thought....
And while at the vet, we find out what is wrong with our goats as well, as we sent in a fecal to check them for parasites.
Learn whats wrong with our animals in todays video

Today we give Luna our calf a magnet.
Magnets are put into cow's bellies to prevent hardware disease.
When cows feed in the pasture there is the possibility of them eating old hardware, nails, screws, and little pieces of metal.
The hardware eaten by a cow can rupture the rumen, and eventually pierce through the cows heart, killing it.
A magnet placed into the cow's belly can keep the hardware from hurting your cow.
Today we use a balling gun to place a magnet into our calf luna.

This second try at milking goats was worse than the first time!
It has been long enough for our does deworming medication to pass and allow us to consume their milk again.
We decided to try milking both our goats again, and it didn't go great.
Lacy was a real kicker, and Gizmo a real jumper. We tried different position, different tecniqes. NOPE.
They were demons on the stand.
As we brought the milk inside to taste it, we were a bit bummed. Milking didn't go well.
All the kicking meant we didn't get much either. Only about a quart.
The taste test was the last straw. Was all this for nothing? Find out what we though of the milk after waiting a few weeks to let the colostrum and medication pass...
