Please excuse the dried blood, but this is 24 hrs after birth. Whatcha think?

I wanted to show you all daddy. His name is Playboy, and he is 10 months old, these pictures of him are from today in the pasture. I showed him at 4 months in my avatar. Thanks again

THANK YOU ALL..... I'm so pleased that it all went well...She is 2 and 8 months, and this is her fist kidding. I think she did great, no problems, she cleaned him up perfect and thats how he looked when I got home. I cant wait to take a picture of her udder in a few days once it gets cleaner...

I WAS RIGHT! I came home to a new baby boy, 7-27-11. Gosh he's a cute little man.

Tomorrow is due day.... I noticed a significant amount of udder growth in the last 24 hrs and earlier today she didn't even get up to come say hi, she also only eat a little bit of food and normally would eat the whole bag if I let her. I'm so excited, definitely expecting only one kid by the...

I figured while waiting I would let you all see how opal really looks. 1st picture is of her a few months ago, and the 2nd is of her a few days ago. She is the smallest Nigi I own, barely 17 inches at the withers. She was a runt of triplets, so I think that had an effect on her height. Her...

Gosh she is making me go crazy! I just can't wait! I finally got the buck with the genetics I wanted, the does with genetics I wanted, and finally what I have created is about to arrive and it's taking FOREVER! lol

If she does not kid within the next few days, then I will give her a second shot of Bose. Do I give the same dose as the first or half? Thanks

Ok, well how long have some breeders had Nigerian go before kidding? 150-155? I'm guessing from the replys and talking to other breeders, she has another 3 weeks most likely. With that said, I wonder If I can put her back with the herd for another few weeks or just keep her isolated until then?

She did seem very "in heat" the second go around. So it definitely could still be 2.5-3 weeks out. Now I gave her a cd/t and selenium shot 30 days ago, 1 month prior to kidding or so I thought, will they still be just as effective if she doesn't kid for another 3 weeks, approx 51 days after...

So it's day 149 and no kids. I was told 145 for nigerians, from 140-150 is normal. This is her first kidding and she is 2 years old. I am starting to wonder if she didn't take on the first breeding or if she isn't due for another 3 weeks and took on the second breeding......please look at these...

THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM LOOKING FOR, i didnt even know any of that was going on hahaa. Thank you!

I have only owned goats now for 2 months, but I have been trying to learn everything I can as quickly as I can. Backyardherds has helped tremendously and a HUGEEEEE THANKSSSSSS to the members that have answered my questions via PM. I have been purchasing, showing, registering and now breeding my...

Ok, I went to my first show and felt unprepared when I looked around and my goat was the only one without a jacket/blanket on him. So I talked to my grandma and she is willing to sew or knit or crochet or whatever I need done to make some for my herd. So I need some pictures and some dimensions...

Wow that is so quick! So if she stands and let's him mount her in an open pasture, odds are she is in heat. I will say other mature does just ran from him that I guess were not in heat. Then a few days later one that wanted nothing to do with him did the whole teasing through the fence deal, so...

When a doe comes into heat, if the bucks are only on the other side of the fence, will she go over, turn around, wag her tail and let the bucks sniff and luck her hind end??? For hours....? Then when the buck is introduced with her, she does the same thing, and "talks/barks" at him and pushes...

Do the plants that make it for the sale at tractor supply in south Florida add AC to it? I purchased this food thinking the label meant it has it in it, but since you say it is regionally different, I want to know If mine does or doesn't contain it? Thanks

Now on my babies, there is a line on their hoof that is almost halfway from top to bottom of hoof. Do I trim to there or just flush on the bottom?

Ok, I am new to goats but not a retard. Lol. With that said, I trimmed my goats hooves today, from my 6 week old bottle babes to the 3 year old does I have. Well, I can trim the main hoof part, no problem, but when trimming the "sole" I think that is what you call it or "pad", it scares me. I...

Lol, he is a purebred Nigerian Dwarf, his grandpa was Roshasharn Tiger L, so he better not have any fianter!
