Been noticing the older my buckling gets the more interesting his markings get. Unlike any of his family, his stripe fades into tan and white. His root fur is black while his outer fur is a buckskin/dunskin looking tan. And his fur from his head is more deeper in color while it faded to white to...

hi!! Just asking here because when my goat was pregnant with our unexpected buckling she looked like this, as if she wasn’t pregnant and was just a little fat. Her buckling did mate with her some time ago and his dad that we got rid of. So I’m just unsure, we got the buckling neutered recently...

Mainly because they’ve been exploring too far, and I don’t want someone stealing them (already happened twice now) because they freeroam an open property

Size on my 5 month old buck vs his adult mother, I think it’ll fit on her but not on him yet. What do you think?

I’m recently got custom ear tags for my goats, only problem is the only one that was big enough to put their name and my number was a calf ear tag. Though, I’ve never done ear tags and got it anyways. My parent thinks it might be too big, but my other parent whom has lived on farms and dealt...

Hi!! So I let my goats completely free-roam my property because there’s only two goats I own (a mom and son). Due to that, I want to get them ear tags with my information and their name on it. But, I haven’t been able to find any website that sells ear tags in such manner 😞 Could anyone lead me...

No, but would come out to give stuff to neuter him. How does it work? Will his testicles just fall off during banding? And do I need a specific band or can I use a rubber band or hair tie

Been thinking of immediately neutering Bambi, but I don’t know when. Wouldn’t it be early ? He’s almost 3 weeks old but google says 4-6+ weeks. And how do I do this? I see talk about using a burdizzo but also talk about using bands? Should I ask someone to come out here instead or do it myself...

Ik it’s been awhile but does anyone know how to ask your family about this? They’re anti killing animals and think they can be saved or rehomed but I don’t know how to ask such things

Does anyone have any auction places suggestions for Northern California? I guess it depends where I am, but I’ve never done any of this before. Would I call an auction house and ask to take him? And say he’s aggressive?

Thank you both, I hope his kid doesn’t get it as well. If anything I’m fine with getting rid of him even if it means for his meat because no animal should turn this fast under what? 4-5 months? Just because he was separated? I think it is something from his parents, like a dog. Just something...

And also today, he was let to free range and immediately went to peoples houses trying to attack and destroying their property. I will make sure to not let him loose once more

I was given my buck for free because he was aggressive and knocked over his owner. Since then he was okay but he slowly got more and more aggressive. I’ve only been rough when he’s going to ram me or someone else (grabbing his horns and holding/pushing him away) But since my doe had her baby...

Bambis a boy! I figured it out finally haha, took me a bit to find a video on yt about it. Wanted a girl, but a boy is just fine :celebrate

she’s had 4 births so far, I think only one was meant to happen. But this will be her last, considering it wasn’t even suppose to happen Haha But she’s being a real good mama, but also knows the dangerous between safe including humans and animals. Seems I’m the only one she was comfortable...

I’m not entirely sure because the breeder never told me (they’re a close family friend so my friend had the goats and gave them to my family n I kinda woke up to goats haha) But I’m 90% sure a Nigerian Dwarf goat cross

My doe had her baby last night, should she go out to pasture? Or should she stay in her stall?

Since his birth, I’ve been wanting to journal him like my ducks. So here, I’ll hopefully keep this up until he’s old and passed. Birth: November 22nd, Wednesday 8:00pm. Thanksgiving evee Single child (had a twin but it was much smaller, much skinnier and stillborn) Boy? Girl? Will check in a...

I’ll definitely ask her, she should be coming by today And I’ll try again, and let you know!

I think a boy, but I don’t know how to look
