Sounds like you need to choose by volume, sell the loudest.

I just hope your buck isn't under there with them. I can't hardly stand to walk by mine right now

I really want march babies. Have to travel some in feb to teach ladies how to make soap. I have 6 does to breed and only 4 kidding stalls. Hmmmmm

My bucks are about 800 ft away but they keep responding. Actually the one screaming last night is normally the silent one. Go figure

Good thing they're in heat for a short time...

Too bad you can't get a sterile male, like they do in catteries.

Where are you travelling for your soap classes? You could always drop a doe off here in the Ozarks...

The only problem with a sterile male is that they would still stink!

I will be heading down to Miami, Fl and doing a P.E.O. Program. I would rather go north!
