I'll try this question here...we have a FF doe who has a tremendous udder, but had some edema (too much protein, my fault) which cleared up. She is 6 weeks fresh, very slight uneven udder, no lumps/bumps, CAE negative, UTD on everything, all clean tests (TB, Bruc, Johnnes) including milk...

I know sudden assertiveness between does can indicate a heat cycle, but can it indicate pregnancy? I have a doe that was bred last month, but just this week she has decided she *hates* my screamer doe (I hate her too) and headbutts her the whole time they are in the pen before milking (while I...

Surely someone has a goat with this tattoo and knows who the breeder is! Before I retattoo our best producing doe and going NOA (and having to breed 3 years to get it OFF the records), I'm hoping this tattoo sequence looks familiar to someone! Most likely Alpine, BUT, may be Alpine cross, or...

We've got five breeding does, and instead of dealing w/CIDR's and shuttling them all 100 miles to get them bred, we are looking at aquiring a buck. What I want to know is... 1. Can he be "in" with the does 24/7 until they are confirmed bred, or do we arrange visits? 3 are still milking! 2...

We have a doe that leaks every time we try to dry her off. Has a history of past sub clinical (non coagulatory staph) mastitis in the side that leaks. Tried tape (didn't work), tried superglue (didn't work)...any ideas? I'm guessing since she had sub-clin mastitis when we got her, this may be...

One of our does (the one treated with Domperidone) has developed a thickening, not really a lump, along the forward edge of her udder. It's like she all of a sudden developed udder tissue. It is in no way tender, but rather like the whole front edge (framework of udder) "grew"...???? It's not...

I'm curious, do does who freshen crooked (one half of udder seems to be more "forward") always stay that way? We just got a doe who is only 8 days fresh that is this way, was wondering if it will get better as she matures/proceeds in her lactation? She is only a year old, all neg tests...

We took a chance and purchased a pretty French Alpine doe over the weekend, she had kidded prematurely and apparently didn't have a chance to udder up. We took her to AU and they checked her out and prescribed Domperidone (full sister kidded on time and REALLY uddered up, plus she's from...

I was wondering if any of you had input on cheese presses? They have some nice Italian made stainless wine/fruit/cheese presses on ebay that seem affordable... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220640806609&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT But I also like the Enterprise fruit...
