Well, here we go!! Breeding time begins. Todd is with Noelle & Vixen in the bottom field. They are calm for the most part but Vixen would like to see her little buddy Sparkles, who she has morning races with. They will resume their races in Nov.
Crash is waiting for his girlfriend’s Dancer & Ginger. Since Sparkles knows how to army crawl under stock panels if she is separated from her Mom, I need to make sure she is not in with Crash. And it is time for her to be weaned from Ginger. I always prefer a gentle weaning, so they will be able to touch noses through the panels.
One by one, the girls are losing their velvet. Both boys have lost theirs.
Joy & Cookie will be taking the breeding season off & entertaining the calves. Yule, the little bull calf, has grown by leaps & bounds. He struggled for a few months but is now racing around & has changed to a beautiful black velvet coat with white accents along his spine & on his tail. His antlers will be small this year. Sparkles antlers looks like she went to a gift store, bought a reindeer ornament & borrowed those antlers. They are unique & precise. Each side has multiple tines & matches. She’s such a cutie. Yule is my snuggler.
Now to get through the next few months of many changes before display season begins!!
