I have 3 lamancha does/1 buck and I'm breeding all staggered for year round milk production, which shouldn't really be an issue since this year 2 of my girls did just outstanding for their first year. 1st to be bred this Aug/Sept, 2nd likely in Oct-she's a stellar milker with no signs of slowing...
I just agreed to trade my 5 nigerian dwarf goats for 3 lovely alpaca to feed my fiber addiction! Yep. I'll be lurking these pages for info and questions in the next few months I am sure and I'll post pics when they are home sweet home. (I still have the lamancha herd so I won't go into goat...
I live in MN. I haven't even posted an ad for sale yet. I've been so busy planning by son's b-day party. LOL I have one person that is interested but doesn't have goats yet and is just getting started coming to look at her Wed.
Nigerian. Being a single and I have no other babies to put her with, she's essentially a house goat right now and boy does she ever tug at those heart strings.
I know it. She makes me want to show goats. I'm dyin' to keep her but I just can't do it right now. :hit I own the buck now though so at least I can repeat this breeding and hopefully get another one like her some day.
Sorry I've been MIA for quite some time... Nestle had a nice baby girl last week. She's had trips in the past but this year was just a big singleton. No problems with delivery though. :thumbsup
What should I call her on her registration for color? Besides awesome, gorgeous, beautiful... :celebrate
Does anyone use these ?
Normally I would not do electric fence but I have a mellow nigerian dwarf buck that I need to bring home soon and husb is too busy to put in a real fence until later this fall. So I was thinking that the 3.5' version might be an easy temporary fence that I can put up...
Think of how many goats out there are intentionally neglected. YOU are a wonderful goat mama for loving and caring for their well-being. I'm so sorry you lost him. He was super cute.
Are you wanting to get the smell off the goat, or the goat smell off of yourself?
Dr. Bronners works great for getting the smell off my hands. I tend to change my clothes after going out there since it never fails that at least one of them paws at me or jumps on me with muddy hooves. I have to...
:weee
It's really not that big of a deal but I now have the same herd name for ADGA, AGS, and MDGA! "Sunflower Patch"
Yippy! I've been waiting a long time for ADGA to finish. :)
That is tough... For me that would be too close for me to leave. I have one due July 5 so I won't be going anywhere for that holiday either. Camping is a big deal for us as well but I have to carefully plan our vacation now around when I have goats due.
Nigerians in milk are near impossible to find around here. A Nigerian doe with good milking lines that's a couple years old that's had a couple sets of kids but dry is typically $300-350. Honestly I can't say I've ever seen one advertised around here that's still in milk or even bred, and I...
