Wasn't sure where to put this so I stuck it under general discussion. I guess it could fall under food as well lol.
We have our first set of babies on the ground for this breeding season. Triplets. All 3 males. This doe decided she didn't want to carry full term and had them about 5 days before I was expecting them. Doesn't hurt the babies just caught me a little off guard and unprepared. She picked a cold rainy day to drop them out in the pasture under an old lean to that grandpa built back in the 50s. She apparently couldn't come up to the nice new barn.
These guys are 100% full blood boer bucks. They are sell stock which pays for the rest of the herd. It's amazing to me that people will pay $500 to $1000 a piece for these little guys at 3 months old. Then again if I figure in what I have invested in their momma and daddy it's not that surprising.
Who else on here keeps livestock as part of your prep? My family and I feed out a goat or two a year, a beef a year, and whatever deer I kill as our meat for the year. We no longer buy meat at the store at all.
