Here is my current setup, for reference. Arya - Nigerian Dwarf doeling, 10 month old Rory - Nigerian Dwarf doe, 2.5 years old (Mo's sister) Mo - Nigerian Dwarf doe, 2.5 years old (Rory's sister) Niles - Nubian wether, 3 years old Frasier - Nubian wether, 3 years old Here is my dilemma. I...

I have a bag of the MannaPro loose minerals. I will try what you suggest and top dress their feed for awhile. Thanks!

They are about 2yo. Two wethers, two does. Never had minerals as far as I know.

I recently starting putting out loose minerals for my nigerians. I filled up a wall mounted feed bowl about half way and expected them to just eat a tiny bit. They've emptied it twice in the last 5 days! Its one of those black ones from TSC, holds about 4 cups. Is this normal? Indicative...

P Just hay at this point in her crate. I still have her separated from the adults until this weekend.

First off, here is a pic of my Aryas muzzle. It seems like she's losing some hair on it, any thoughts as to why? If I compare to a pic from a few weeks ago it wasn't like this. Secondly, here is an overhead picture. Does she look overweight? She weighed in at 15lbs yesterday, she's about...

All dry after her bath. Bath time!

Niles and Frasier are wethered. And I agree, they are very good looking boys. Arya gets to come in occasionally for snuggles. I plan on giving her a bath tomorrow so she'll be in until she's completely dry as it's going to be in the 20's here.

Arya is about 5 months. Niles and Frasier are around a year

Just wanted to show off my small herd. Niles and Frasier the Nubian brothers My baby. Arya Stark. Nap time

I am finishing up my goats pasture area this weekend and am curious what everyone has bought or built for their goats to play with/on? I have found a large wooden spool on Craigslist for $30 that I plan to pick up on Sunday. Any other ideas? Pics are also super helpful!

I have 3 ND's and two Nubians. Love them all but the Nubian wethers are the funniest to watch. The ND doe is the most tame, but she is/was a bottle baby.

alrighty then! Return it is. So I guess that brings me back to needing to stretch the woven wire then right?
