Our first ever birth <3

This momma would've given birth of triplets, but sadly one of the two first was passed and cold by the time I went out to check on her before knowing she had given birth; it was midnight. I had to glove up and help with the third because it was backwards with one rear leg out and the other still pushed way deep into the uterus. The third had long been hypoxic by the time it came out and didn't make it either, as much as I tried.

Sad to have the loss but happy to count the blessings we have, a healthy buckling and a doe that survived. And yes, she doesn't clean herself up but has been cleaned since.

Explaining bond ETFs

I'm aware that the Yeld on most government bonds is going up, up to 5% in some cases. What I don't understand Is its relation to the activity on bond ETFs such as they are on trading 212. They are all down and dropping? Shouldn't they provide more because they are now higher yield? Or are they down because they are still on the old % of 2-3 %? If someone could please explain the relationship sn why the etf is down if bonds are up.

They’re goat shaped but inside they’re dogs.

Django and Pinky. Picked them up at the end of May this year. Django was pretty sick when I got him, but he’s finally made a turn and starting to put weight on and his coat is getting healthier. They’re both obnoxiously friendly and like to climb in my car when I get home. I think they’re Pygmies? I got them to be pets and weed eaters. They’re great at both.

World Value Factor ETF

looking at IS3S which is the 'iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF', hidden Jem or what? its got a 57% 1year rise, a 123% 5year rise, why isn't this more used? their theory is sound too; "The stock selection is based on the value factor of three variables: price-to-book value, price-to-forward earnings and enterprise value-to-cash flow from operations" what's the catch to jump all into this? Am i missing something?

Am currently thinking of going 25% All world, 25% IS3S, 25% all-world ex-US and 25% everything else.

New babies, always fun!

We had our "fall" kidding today. We had 14 this spring, and wanted to be able to enjoy the babies more this season. Selected this doe to go in with our buck before he was sold, she didn't get to meet him properly because she was accidentally already pregnant at that time.

The black and white kid is a doe, light orange/tan and white is a buckling. Dad was Gimli- the big orange one. Other pictures are the spring babies since I mentioned them.

All-World minus US?

Is there an all-world type etf by a reputable source such as vanguard or inesco that does all-world minus the united states? Or at least all world minus the s&p500?

Scrapie tag

Hello, everyone! I purchased some Nigerian Dwarf does earlier this month, but they didn’t come with scrapie tags. When I purchased them, I was not aware that they’re supposed to have them prior to leaving the farm. I’m in Florida. The goats will be used by my FFA kids as show projects. They are all registered through the ADGA. One of my girls was born 5/7/26 and the other two were born 3/26/26. Do I need to get scrapie tags from the people I got them from, or do I call the USDA number and get some? Or is this a vet issue? Do they actually have to be tagged, or can I just hold onto the tags? I’m not sure if the tags have any impact on the show or not. Picture of the girls cause they’re just the cutest! TIA for the help!

New to a Moto phone, wanting to ask a few questions

Hi team, I'm new to the sub due to never having a Motorola before but i got a Moto G56 5g 'free' with my carrier and wanted to ask a few question before i dive in head first and move from my Samsung Galaxy s10+ (a 2019 phone, stuck on Android 12). One thing i loved about Samsung is their built in Music app, something my old Huawei did not offer. so my questions are;

Does Motorola have it's own add-free music app to play music that's on the device?

How is the Android auto experience? does it change from device to device or can i expect the same quality as it's in the OS? Sorry if this is an noob question.

Concerned my buck is killing the does

We had two beautiful does for two years before we got a buck for them. We got a young buck and another same age doe so we were up to three ladies and a buck. The buck matured and did his duty and all the ladies gave birth to a total of baby goats. Since the births in late winter both the original does have died unexpectedly and from unknown causes months apart (babies were weened already in both cases). The last adult female is now also looking reclusive and down. It is said to never keep bucks with the heard and I'm wondering if maybe he is being too rough? Causing internal bleeding to the ladies maybe? We are running out of female goats honestly. (Baby boys have been castrated) should we off the buck and maybe save the does if that is what's going on? Could something else be causing the does to die?

Edit: Thank you all for your input, I've reassessed and not jumped to conclusions. I will be looking into potential parasites and assume the buck is innocent till proven guilty.

Preemie doeling

So we're pretty sure our little doeling will be fine. She's 11 days old now and we put her out with the rest of the herd yesterday full time. We've been making sure she had some time with mom every day so suckling is going really well and mom is very good with her.

Making sounds, would like hardware recommendations

I'd like to be able to make a sound, I need hardware recommendations to make it happen.

For example when the (electric) kettle is finished I'd like to play a whistling sound, when the sun comes up play a tune too etc. The automation is easy with a power tracker on the kettle etc, I don't need help with that, what I'd like help with is the hardware required for make a sound or playing a track. I'm sceptical of a Bluetooth speaker because it'd need to be connected and on waiting for a signal for 23 hours to play one track once but is this a possibility? Ideally it would be easily accessible and cheep like an Ikea speaker.

further info: I don't have nor do i want something like a google connected speaker or an Alexa assistant, i need it to be offline such as a basic speaker system.

Thanks in advance.
