I've heard that on some goat farms these things happen quite often but nobody talks about them. A friend told me that, lol.

And Poof! They're gone!

You're welcome!

https://www.emlabgenetics.com/product-page/p-test-strip-sheep-goat-1 This early in the game it's hard to tell anything by pics. If you really, really want to know you might order one of these tests. They're cheap and pretty accurate. Checking ligaments is a good way to tell when your goat...

Do you have a coat for her? Do you have a plastic dog crate she'd fit in? Then you could still use the trailer. Can you cover the floor with something? Or - tarps over the car seats? I've noticed in many years of hauling animals that they usually only pee when the vehicle is...

Glad your scan went well!

A prolapse that severe makes me wonder if it was spontaneous or perhaps an injury? Was it possible she got squished or hit or trampled or anything else catastrophic? So sorry!

I feel your pain and I hate it when that happens!

I've seen a lot of posts that have referenced ladies in their "prime." I saw this on Facebook and wanted to post it as a tribute to all the strong, determined women in their prime and those who will be!

Oh my - that all sounds delicious! You're going to be eating well for awhile!

That's my guess. The myotonics that I bought were born in October. That definitely means they were conceived in May. I even saw a breeding but no results. :( :hu

Myotonic and Kiko are both suposed to be year round - but there was no action happening earlier in the year. I put the Myo's together in May. Nada, nothing, no babies in sight. Maybe somebody forgot to tell them! My Kiko/Nubian cross does also don't cycle off-season.... :( Stoopid...

Just a tiny bit jealous of your cool weather. We had it for a week, but the last few days have been around 90 again - 91 today. Ugh. Wow! I'm just getting does bred. Anxious for little ones. I need to squeeze baby goats, lol.

So very sorry for your loss.

Nope - you're not the only one. When I'm milking, DH and I routinely drink milk that is up to 10 days old with no problems or change in taste. I don't even put it in the freezer first - straight to the extra fridge that is kept at 33 degrees. Good handling, chilling asap after straining, clean...

Mama to the rescue!! They call and we come, lol. It always feels good when I can do something for my son because he does so much for me!

I'll save a wild one for ya, lol!

I'd sure be using a lot more than 6 cc's of Pepto. Maybe 10 - 15 cc's a couple times a day. The following info pertains to goats - but I wouldn't worry about giving it to a sheep: Pepto Bismol (Generic: Pink Bismuth)—Helps soothe goats with diarrhea after treatment for the cause of the...

I wish it would stop raining long enough for me to go fishing, lol. I am a firm believer in milk-sharing with kids. I usually don't start until the kids are a couple weeks old. Then, I milk on MY schedule. I've got a doe out there now who refuses to dry up - so even with her 8 month old kids...

More proof that you made the right decision!
