I am getting 2 1 month old bottle lambs. What should I do for a quarantine protocol? Can I do anything for worms and such like?

Ok thank you. This is my third time having goat mamas, so I don't really know what is normal or not.

She had only one horn when we got her. It was a good sized horn. We did catch it pretty quickly so she didn't bleed a hole lot. But she is quite traumatized from it.

What are the chances my goat aborted? My pregnant Nigerian Dwarf doe busted her horn off last week. She now has a little bit of blood on her behind. She would be between 14 - 6 weeks pregnant. This is my third time having goat mamas, so I don't really know what is normal or not.

I put my phone camera right on top of the microscope. It's quite tricky, sometimes it takes a few tries to get a clear photo. I have an older style microscope, don't know if that makes any difference.

Thank you! I didn't find any eggs. Just a handful of whatever that is.

Yes, that would be amazing. I find it hard to identify just from photos on Google.

Is this worms or plant bits in my sheep poop test. They have ridges all along the length. The camera doesn't pick it up. Magnification 100x

How long did it take for the hair to grow back? I have been giving him zinc for a week now.

*Update for anyone who might have a similar issue * we gave him zink for a week and he is now back to normal. My buck has bald patches on his back. The photos are a week apart. He's had around of Ivermecten, Permethrin, and a Copper bolus in April.

I have a bottle of Cattle ivermectin pour-on can I use it on my sheep? if so what's the dosage?

I have some lamb grain left can my goats eat it?

Thank you so much. I was finding it hard to research. They are such a joy to have.

Newbie mini goat owner here. I am trying to figure out if my goats are Nigerian dwarf or pygmy? They where sold as Nigerian. But upon seeing some Nigerians, mine seem very stocky. It doesn't really matter what they are, I just want to know what I am looking at.

I did try milking the right side and nothing came out, left side seems normal. The right side just never filled up.

I have a first time Ewe, and she has only one teat working. The teat looks normal, it just doesn't produce milk. Is there any chance it will work next lambing?

Yes, they are definitely mixed. Supposedly grandma is a certain breed (previous owner couldn't remember, but I can't find breeds she completely matches.

I got some goats this summer and I haven't been able to figure out what breed they are. White one is the grandma Black one is the daughter/mom Little black & white one is the brother, he has quite long hair. Little black & brown one is the sister

Ok, that's kind of what my thoughts where. Thank you.

We recently got a milking calf, and our neighbour likes to run his loud vehicles early in the morning. He said the last owners complained, about their cows milk curdling because of the noise. Is this a real thing?
