New Liquid Nitrogen tank!

by mrsdoni

We purchased a new MVE XC 20 dewar to replace our older model, Taylor Wharton 34 HC. Our old tank just isn’t holding as long as it used to so it’s time to get a new one.

Old Taylor Wharton (many, many years old)
New MVE 20/20, I hope it is half as good as the last Taylor Wharton was!

Vanilla had Twin bucks!

by mrsdoni

Day 150: Twin gorgeous bucks for Vanilla! Thanks to Dr. Shannon for pulling them ❤ They were presented correctly, just big boys. I was a nervous wreck and called my awesome, gentle, amazing Vet to check on her even before Vanilla started labor because I was concerned with how long it was taking but she went into strong labor after the vet did an internal check. Yes! Finally she started pushing!N1 @ 10 lb 12 oz buckM2 @ 8 lb 5 oz buck

Vanilla is doing great and already ate her dinner! ❤ UPDATE: DNA confirm Hiro as the sire.

At day 147 (3 days prior to kidding)
N1 10lb 12 oz buck

N2 8 lb 5oz buck

MUD MUD MUD!! Winter of 2020

by mrsdoni

Ughhhh…. the mud is so bad with all this winter rain!!! I am trying some concrete pavers for the doe pasture. So far it is working great.

For the buck paddock, we are trying pea-gravel. He paces constantly during rut season (Sept – Feb) and makes the biggest muddy mess!
