Rain, had 8 puppy's yesterday, I think the count is 5 male and 3 female, all looking good. those of you that had your name on my list, get ahold of me as I have other's wanting some too. I will not post or let choice out till they are 3 weeks old, at that time their eyes will be open and you'll...
I have a polled doe, and her doeling is also polled, you do not want to breed two polled goats to each other. usually if one is polled and the other is not, you will get some polled kids, look for the swirl on top of the head, if they have a swirl they will probably get horns. dis-bud bucks with...
get you some strong coffee, and mix with molasses, with a pinch of baking soda, drench her with it being luke warm, give her about 6 cc but not at the same time. also a bo-se shot if you have it. you should see a turn around. you might need to repeat but normally the first dose does it.

I sold a male ldg to a friend, she had sold her goats, but had chickens and pigs, yesterday when she got home her pigs had excaped out into a big cornfield, she was freaking out cause pigs are not easy to catch, she said by the time she got dress and got out towards the gate here came her pigs...
very good dog..... my male got attached to a wether, that the other goats wouldn't let him eat with them so the male ldg made sure he got some food, every day that dog would protect that goat so he could eat....
my guess would be cleaning up, maybe the kid was weak and mamma didn't take to it, if they don't get up and make noise they can be ignored, maybe the dog knew that. just guessing, last time I had a doe that had early kids, she knew it and didn't care about cleaning or nudging them. but better be...
