Spa-day for the does!

by mrsdoni

Today I shampooed and body clipped three does that will be taken to the fair shows next month. I am doing it now while the temperatures are still warm and am also using an ‘extra cover’ blade to keep their hair a tad long. We will be attending both the Winston Salem Carolina Classic fair and the Raleigh State Fair shows.

In the new barn!

January 2025 – The does were moved into the new barn! I LOVE it and I think they do too!

We’re working by flashlight/lantern until the power is installed.

NOTE: the white stuff on the floor of the barn is calcium chloride for dust control. The rock dust flooring packs hard but is very dusty especially when the wind blows! The calcium chloride will dissolve/melt and will completely stop the dust. It is used for dirt roads for the same reason. It works great!
