"Crying Time Again"

"Good Mom"


"Bucklings in the weaning lot"

"Where is my mom?"

High Meadows does are selected for strong maternal traits. A doe who neglects her kids in any way is subject to culling. These same traits make the weaning process somewhat traumatic for does and kids. It is not my favorite season but weaning decisions are an important part of herd management.
