Waiting on Spring

Spring was officially here a couple of weeks ago.  It actually hit 91 here for about 2 days and then it cooled back down and we've had some rain.  When it warmed up, I needed to dunk my chickens in Permethryn but it got cold again so they are on hold.  I have dusted them and dusted them and I give up on that for the mites.  We are now waiting for a warm day to come back so we can do that.  I don't want them to freeze when they are drying.
I started shaving the goats and only got the tops of their bodies which is a good thing because it got cold again, it was 39 degrees last night.  I'm glad I didn't finish shaving them
I'm also going to have to make an unscheduled trip back to my breeder.  My Dakota is getting horn nubs.  He was disbudded at a couple of weeks but they are popping up.  The goat list I'm on they say it is too late, or one person does.  I don't want scurs or horns so I guess we'll drive back to Phx. to have her do it again.  The weather being cool is a good thing for that.  He also has a sore on his side where I gave him his CD/T shot.  It was a lump and then opened up.  It looks better and is all scabbed over now so he's okay.
