She is a goat vet ^_^

For Safeguard, my vet told me today its 1.1 ml per 25 lbs. I took in a fecal and our 2 month olds have worms and coccidia(Treating with Albon but just got my Baycox today. Super excited to try it!!!). We have had a very wet April/May so far. The you can't really prevent it from happening. Keep...

Sorry for the delay!! Had to come home and milk momma goatie, feed older kids, and get eggs! *_* So, I remembered that the other day, she got pecked in the nose by a chicken. I checked her nose and it was fine. I'm thinking there was a minor scratch and it got super infected, abscessed. Vet...

She was outside playing yesterday and everything was completely fine!!! Just found it this morning :-( I feel so bad for her. She keeps scratching at her neck and ears :-( Her appt isn't until 6:20 tonight. I will update!!

So, we have had this baby since last Thursday and have been bottle feeding her...she has been fine every day. My daughter fed her this morning and said, mom, she has lots of boogers in her nose. I got them to school and came to check her out. When I wiped her nose, this happened... I don't know...

I plan on showing ^_^ not crazy big at first. The Hoosier Classic is coming up in June. I have never shown in my life, lol. Should be interesting to say the least. My little ones are interested in it, they are 5 and 6. Would be a good way to let them see what is done. I will have to remember the...

We spent a lot if time with them yesterday and it turns out they love organic popsicles, lol. I was even able to do their first hoof trimming! They are actually both moonspotted (for nubians;dapples are for Boers, maybe other goats too, but for registration these are the terms). Aurora is the...

Hi there from Indiana!! I am new to all this too! Just got two kids yesterday!!! A doe and wether ^_^ Welcome and congrats on your new ones!!

Hi there!! So yesterday began my first day as a new goat Momma! I went and picked up two out of the five goats we will be getting. One doeling and one wether, brother and sister ^_^ He is unregisterable, which I am fine with. And she is ADGA 50%. Poor guy got banded right when I picked him up so...

Hi there ^_^ time is closing in before i get my 1 set of kids! I'll be getting 2 four month old doelings and 1 wether. I have been doing a lot of reading and research on exactly how to feed them. I'm reading that they need free access to alfalfa and of course water and their trace minerals. (I...

Hi there from Indiana and welcome!! I am new to goats too!! Getting four kids myself March 30th! Congratulations on your new kids and does!! New life is always fun ^_^ Pictures :-)

We are going to keep milk for us and family. I also want to learn how to do butter, cheese, and soaps. The kids I plan on selling and/or keeping to improve lines. Looking to do our first ADGA show as Jr. Does this summer. Any males we can't home, will go to the freezer. They are all coming to me...

Thank you!! It's kind of confusing at first. Trying to understand it all :-) I will be getting PB and ADGA 50%. That way I have PB and can work up to American with the others. Be a fun breeding project ^_^ I'm so looking forward to it!

So, new to goats and trying to understand the whole American %. The only way to increase a ADGA % to American, is to breed say the 50% to a PB? And increase status over generation? You cannot breed a 50% to a 50% and get an American, correct? It would decrease the %? It's all slightly confusing...

Lol...my husband already thinks I'm crazy! He talked me into chickens, which I was unsure about. Began with 4...now I LOVE my chickens and we have 22 ^_^ I cannot wait until our goats are old enough to begin having babies! I'm so stoked. The only thing better would be to have horses, which we...
