Less Nutty

While we're thankful for his services with all our does, today we shipped Nutty off with Gator to do with as he pleases. This last season of Nutty being in rut was becoming dangerous for everyone. We had literally tried everything with him, but we just couldn't keep him. 

This is a thing farmers and ranchers do all the time in large quantities, but I'm still learning. Not every livestock animal is a good fit and it's ok to have him try somewhere else. Maybe he'd do better with a hundred does, who knows? I have mixed emotions about the whole thing, but the decision was made when he tackled Rob this weekend. 

I will say, it is much quieter on the farm tonight. Tomorrow, we'll be able to release all the kids and mamas from the nursery and everyone will have full run yet again. For Fur Real Farms, it's now safe again to walk in the pasture.
