I need a little help. I have four fainting goats and they are going to be put into the pasture here soon. I wanted to get a donkey for protection for my goats. I have been told that I need to purchase an older donkey, is that true? I would perfer to get a baby, but I don't know much about...

Thanks for your advise. I think I'm just going to seperate them so mom can dry up. :)

Sorry I meant wethers. It's so easy to type the wrong spelling when I'm talking about my crazy little friends!!

That's good to know. So I guess I shouldn't worry to much about it yet. But in the next couple of months I should. They are in a stall together and my other two are weathers and they are in a stall. They can all see each other. Sometimes I go out and they are all in one stall. I probably...

HELP!!! I need all kinds of help here I think. I have a mother that is still letting her baby nurse. The baby was born on January 31st 2013. I know that she shouldn't still be nursing. Every time I see her nursing I go up and make the baby stop. I thought, and read, that females normally...

Thanks Donna!! I have never used the search tab before. It sounds like I need to go purchase some python dust. I will get some on my way home and see if that's it. I will let you know in a couple of days how Rex is doing. It's so great to know that I can post something on here and there is...

Congrats!! They are all so darn cute!! :weee

Thanks!! That helps me a lot with my female problem. Any clues to my male problem???

Thank you so much!! I feel better now. All the vet told me was to watch her. Didn't tell me for how long or anything like that. I hope to have pics up soon.

Is it normal for my doe to still have a bloody discharge after giving birth 12 days ago? It was her first kidding and she only had one. I had a vet out on Friday from Iowa State, but I don't think that he looked at her all that well. Maybe I'm just being a little over protective....

I will have to figure out how to put pics on here.

Ok so I am very new at this and need some help from more experienced goat people. My female gave birth to a beautiful kid this morning. It's only 7 outside and I'm scared that it's just way to cold for the kid. I did move both of them to the shop that has in floor heating and is kept about 50...

69 Sorry Staw Hat!!

Glad to here that this is good fencing. I just bought some over the weekend. Come spring I will be putting this fencing up so that my goats can be in the pasture. I only have three goats right now, but my female is pregnant. It's her first so I am guessing she will only have 1. I would...
