If they have them in the winter time they are in building and I put a baby monitor in there and can sit in the house and listen then I don't have to go out in the cold till I know they are in labor or have had a kid.

quote:Originally posted by bigtimberkennel Yes they take 5 months. If they have had kids before with no problems and it is warm out they have them outside we have huts in there lots they can go into if they want some do and some don't. If they haven't had them before we have pens in a building we put them in to make sure they have no problems giving birth and to make sure they accept there babies. First timers sometimes turn around and look like what the heck is that and what do I do with it. I have even had goats that had there babies standing up and just plot them out on the concrete floor ouch!! When my oldest son was little he went to the goat barn with me and a doe was having trouble ran my arm up to see what was wrong told him to go get his dad. He came to the house and told his dad mom needs help her arm is stuck in a goats butt. Thought I would die laughing!!!!
Now that is funny. That was a good one this early in the morning. I needed that one. Thanks Linda. When we was training horses we had cameras on every horse and sound. Makes it lot easier.

Rex, Just heard from Victor and he said his mom isn't doing real well had to put a breathing tube in and her hip was in really bad shape and had to replace the whole joint but she is stable at the moment. They were going home because they said they couldn't see her till tomorrow because she was going to be heavily sedated.
Whats his name? I like the black-headed ones. Linda better name him, cause i have a idea what Tony might call him. Sometimes I call my Bluetick this, something about not having a father.
Hope all goes well with Darryl mom she is a nice woman. Are you getting any Rest from all that work Rex? Fellow has to pace himself as Coy Stout used to say. My son Andy shot a big coyote this last weekend out at Dads. I am off from Dec 23 thru Jan 2 So I am hoping to get more coon hunting in. Going to take turns hunting each dog by himself.

Bill is camera shy Mike That's not his real name, Bob said his grandson called him OBAMA. No wonder he looks pissed off. $12.00 aint bad for coons. I gotta have some first to sell.
