Well, our milker goat is giving us some issues. She hasn't ever given us any complaint about her food till recently, nothings changed about it, but now she only eats a little and acts like that's all we gave her. It looks like shes only eating the rolled oats and the corn :( she wont eat the...

Lol yeah true, but when you cant have cows milk and the only other goat milk around is myenberg :sick well... its close enough to free.

Lol my mistake XD We are just looking for a goat to milk, her mom is a wicked awesome milker. About three goats is our max because we only want two does for milking and one buck for freshening. So will she be difficult to milk? Will the kids be more difficult to sell off? OR is the trait...

We just looked at out little two month old doeling and she has four teats, it that to terribly bad? will she be easy to milk or more difficult?

We put her in for a whole day and we have seen her take many times during the day too, like, every time i go to check, and we live in AZ but if our neighbor who is doing the same thing we are is getting 9 and 12 babies per litter then some thing is wrong. We know our buck can perform too, he is...

She has diarrhea, and a light fever and its on and off diarrhea, some times its normal some times its not. we have been giving her some heavy garlic and pro-bios, but shes not getting any better. If it were my goat and the organic attempts weren't working I would have her on some real medicine...

She is only a year old and has been bred 3 times in her life. She had 4 babys the first time and 2 the last two tries. We are considering getting rid of her but she is to flighty sell, we are thinking of eating her, but I have heard that old rabbits are very tough. Does any one have any other...

Is this usual for goats to not be all that hungry for a while after delivering? She is usually ravenous, but these last 2 days she hasn't been interested in food, Shes eating, just not like normal. Or is it that she has been eating like a pregnant goat and now shes not? We dont want her...

Fortunately we are keeping her :) we knew we would be keeping a girl if she had one, but we weren't expecting such a beautiful baby! We have named her Eclair and boy is she spunky, but we haven't found a name for her brother yet. :) I want to get more pictures of both of them eventually, they...

Our Muscovie duck has eggs due any day now, but one of the ducklings decided that it wanted to hatch before it was ready. It had pipped the shell in three places, but when mama went to get a drink a chicken tried to lay an egg in her nest and she was furious, so she beat the chicken up and the...

Here I am in the kitchen trying to help a shrink wrapped duckling when all of a sudden I hear a scream like no other! I run out side to look and see, oh my gosh, Lucy is in labor! So I set my boyfriend on helping the duckling and run to check on Lucy, she already had the tiny hoofs out and once...

You know those crazy little fleshy tassels on their necks! We just made a new friend and he says his doe is a mini Nubian Pygmy cross, the father is the Pygmy. He gave us a buckling who is really sweet. But the guy doesn't know what the little deelee-bop tassels are either, could some one please...

That's the same blog I looked at lol,we will be shooting from behind the head next time. No more screaming, that was really bad. But it will be a while before any more goat butchering, or any kind of butchering for that matter.

Well, the bullet exited one of side of her jaw, off to the side even though we shot point blank, we know that she was non responsive for quite a while, about 5 minutes, and while we had her hanging upside down we slit her throat and THEN the antics began, while she was bleeding out she started...

I have only recently begun to dispatch chickens, and I want to get a pellet gun for rabbits. This video has the best example I have seen so far, I preferably want to do a pellet gun for rabbits but we will see when the time comes. That is one of my favorite things to do while cleaning, I...
