Ride em', cowboy!

The little guy got busy right away.  No problems there.  When I just went and put her back in her cage, the little doe, for a bit of a breather, she was panting and grunting, somewhere... I think... between being pleased and irritated.  About... where you want your woman.  :)  Maybe that's just me?  But, for my part, I think he did well.  I'll put her back in with him, in about four to six hours for another hour or two.  Then call that done, starting on the next doe tomorrow.

As to the big girl?  Well.  The first two bucks were kowtowed by her.  Yes ma'am, no ma'am.  They wouldn't even go near her.  I... thought to give up.  She wasn't getting ridden.  I decided to put her in with the buck I only kept by accident.  One I didn't, initially, like at all.  But, have changed my tune on.  Just... because... he is... well... a true pal.  A guys' guy.

As it turns out?  Saving him may be what saves the bigger line.  Hoppity hop!  Right on top.  He went for leg and would not truck no.  He's fell twice and is still trying to ride her like a hot pony.  I'll give them a few hours, then pull her until later.  Though, with her?  After he gets two rides, I am going to put her in with the last buck left, as well.  If those two will do the deeds, they... will earn their keep.  The others may have to go.  Though, if she kits out, and they can get to those, they may still have use.  Would rather not father daughter that.  It just seems wrong, even if it is common in the industry... for specific purposes.  I just can't see how that would be good for the herd.

Anyway... at least they are getting it going.  I can only hope.  The little ladies will get two breeding's each.  The big girl, hopefully, will get four.  If it works out, and I get kits, and they get to breeding age, I will be keeping what of those I can.  The wall, breeding-wise, otherwise, is probably here and gone.  This is it, or not.  Though, if this fails, I may try, again, to find several breeding stock.  And start over.  I just don't want to quit.  And, finally, have some idea of what is going on, how to get things done, when to do things, and such.  It... takes failure to find success.  We will see.

Hippity hop!  :)  Later.

Ah, but... something else, just because.  Probably not your thing.  If so, enjoy.  If not?  Give a few of them a shot.  You have most likely heard them.  Some things are bigger than life.
