I DID! But I forgot to take pictures! AGH! She is a very sweet girl who gives kisses. She has a great looking topline and pretty good attachments. She does have a small bit of white on the very top of her head, but she is registered with ADGA, so I guess it isn't a disqualification. Anyway, I...

It isn't a matter of cost. It's more that I am not willing to waste anything that is still good, but I guess that might be an oddity in today's world. Thanks for all your help, guys.

Several months ago, I bought a bottle of Vitamin B Complex. It got pushed to the back of the cabinet and I kind of forgot about it. I have some clear runny noses here, so I thought about that I had Vit B and thought I'd give that. When I drew it up into the syringe, it is REALLY dark, almost...

Our lactating girls get an 18% sweet feed mix made by Blue Seal. They get about 3 pounds on the milk stand once per day. Also, 1 C of alfalfa pellets and about 1/3 C of BOSS and a tablespoon of sea kelp meal. The 2 does who are not in milk share about 2 pounds of grain and 1/3 C BOSS once per...

Thanks so much, gals. I believe I am going to go look at her on Sunday. I can't wait to see her, although if Obers are as wonderful as you say...this may be a problem for my herd plan. lol.

Yes, when one person posts, especially if it really ends up being CL (so sorry lupin :( ), then we all get freaked out. My friend is freaked out because her vet made some off-hand comment about having seen CL in a herd of sheep across the county. Now we are all freaked out.

No, it's right behind the front leg, right where the leg joins the body (the human equivalent of the armpit). I am pretty sure that is a lymph site.

Since August 2009, so 1 year

Can a goat have swollen lymph nodes that are not CL? I have a friend who has a goat that has some eye drainage, and some clear nasal discharge. This same goat has a tender swollen spot just behind her front leg. Could this swelling be secondary to whatever infection is causing the eye and...

I have 4 mini-nubian does and NONE of them cycle, regardless of age, unless they smell a buck. So, if they are 14 months old, they should be more than ready. I had one that was accidentally bred at 8 months last year and my buck brought her into heat. I have had them breed anywhere from early...

She is really a nice bunny, she just doesn't like getting picked up. I think we just need to do it more to get her more used to it. Could I retain her daughter, even though my buck would be the daughter's father? (well, that's a little confusing. lol)

I have been looking for a full sized goat in milk for several months. We have a small herd of Nubian/Nigerian Crosses, and I recently bought a Full Nubian buck. I was really looking for a Nubian doe so I could breed them together, but I haven't found anything that I find satisfactory with in a...
