As a matter of record, here am I recording something which is exclusive as usual here, but that frankly has me puzzled as nature has changed.A week ago as I was on a walk, I noted a whitetail buck coming out of the forest and noted that his antlers in velvet were at least 4 inches over his ears, which I studied a moment pondering how this small deer had such a large rack this time of the year.
As I believe in existential experience, I have been experimenting with dairy goats of the Anglo Nubian variety, and it has been quite hard on them this year it seems, as I was talking to an expert who was looking at an ill female I have that apparently had a "bloom" of worms like some plague.
As we talked, she noted that even she had been talking to other breeders as she was puzzled as around a month ago the males all went into rut. I had no experience with bucks and was just cataloguing events this spring as my male who is..........well buck goats are "interesting" in their capacity for breeding in being quite vocal, quite aggressive and quite male most of the year.
Mine though just went berserk a month ago like the rest of the bucks. He was quite civil before this, but these past weeks it has been almost dangerous to be around him as he just explodes in emotion.
The reason this matters is Anglo Nubians are like deer, elk and moose in they only go into rut in the females in autumn from August to January. In deer, this is triggered by the solar and lunar phases in decreasing number of hours of daylight, which affects the pituitary gland to produce gonadatrophic hormones, for the simple reason it causes mothers to produce fawns in the spring, instead of winter so they survive.
If you have not noticed, the length of days have been getting longer, so the question is why is nature gone wrong?
Idaho is talking about where spring is as it is so cold there, so it is not global warming.
No one has mentioned this that nature has literally turned on end from spring to fall.
While voting, I bumped into a neighbor who mentioned something which I notice too this year, almost akin to last spring in the gardens all looked like they were freeze drying.
Moisture in the atmosphere has helped them along now, but in monitoring crop conditions, the wheat where I am at is barely 12 inches high and is heading out.
Wheat should almost be 2 to 3 feet high when heading out.
This has me completely puzzled as the scientific triggers which should be not happening for months, already were occurring in early May.
Granted my buck has now just become comical as I talk to him, and he bellars, shows me his tongue, freezes in place then makes a laughing BAA, as he slaps a front leg at me, and he is quite "sticky" as an elk is "sticky" (I will leave that to those who can decipher that.), but he is starting to behave at least in a manner where I can talk and pet him to settle him down.
Nature though should not be doing what is happening, and yet nature has. It is unsettling witnessing these odd happenings which all seem to be solar related as the sun fluctuates in patterns only this blog has been exposing.
This is no longer the blessed earth God provided America with and settled as Churches were built across the wilds. Something evil is at work and the signs are there.
Very nature has changed in the reproduction cycles in the deer class of animals.
God bless the Good in America. In Jesus Name. Amen
