hope you get lots of answers. i'm watching your post. I want to take the plunge too. i'm leaning toward kune kune - mostly because of size issues.

i'm new to the pellets. I've been giving them pretty short rations of alfalfa pellets. i'm always afraid of letting them have much of anything. they're fine & fit now, but winter is coming & the forage is getting thin. do I just dump the alfalfa & let them have at it - or do it ration it...

let her know that your life is more important than the goats. if she is unhappy w/that she can refuse to sell you anymore goats. ;) tell her you have done what you can and you are not going to pass on any more information. if you feel you are unable to handle a confrontation w/her - give...

I've got my microscope, but not the slides. I've still got to buy those

excuse me for jumping in on this thread. I just read it all. I've never raised rabbits, but am seriously interested. when you say your friend shot them w/a 22, do you mean a pistol or rifle? i'm sorry if this question is remarkably ignorant, but the killing part is the part that has me...

I've started introducing them to the pellets in anticipation of winter. they seem to like it too much. I'm afraid to put it out free choice. I don't know how to find the balance for feed. so far they have been pretty much foraging & I give the eight of them one scoop of feed when I lock them...

what a beautiful kid.

ohh, draining a wound. not a task I would relish either. Verkagji has a good point about the honey. i'm not familiar w/coconut oil as a treatment, honey has been know for thousands of years. it's a natural antibiotic for wounds, which seems weird to me because of all the sugar in it, I would...

eleven, can you expound on that one pig that attacked your horse? what would possible provoke a pig to do such a thing? I so want to have two pigs in my fenced 3 1/2 acres w/the goats & chickens & cats. I don't understand pig mentality well enough to know how to create a place where everyone...

I live in north central Texas. my girls are changing their coats. it's just amazing to watch. here it is, still reaching 90 during the day & these girls are building up their coats. they must know something I don't. it might be one of those winters.

lucky you. I wish I had a couple of agh. they're hard to find. I hope you keep posting. I too have 3 acres & have goats & chickens in there. i'm wondering if given the space - will the other animals be safe from the pigs.

it's an immature rat snake

it's the corn in the amdro they like. it's not supposed to be very toxic, but I don't put it out where my chickens can eat it - they scarf it up like it's candy. i'm sure my goats would eat it too. my german shepherd ate part of a bag - scared me, but, she was fine.

what a really terrible thing! horrible. my dog attacked one of my goats about 5 months ago & inflicted terrible flank wound. she too suffered so much. the wound ultimately became infected & there were actually maggots at one point. the wound continued to eat flesh until she had a cavity in...

the hay rolls have this type of wrapping, for lack of a better word. they sit outside. I have no barn that could possibly accommodate these big rolls. I do peel off the outer layers of a roll periodically to expose what has been kept in better condition - but they do not seem to care either...

what a cutie pie

ashleyfishey, THAT is the point I have been looking for. I couldn't figure out what was not quite right. here sat this big role of hay that they simply had zero interest in. they are still foraging on their own, but, being new to this goat thing, I expected them to eat the hay also. they are...

thank you. there is no herbicide or pesticide. the grasses are mostly indigenous bunch grasses. it's not really a cultivated pasture. it could use some renovation for sure. so far the goats have had zero interest in it

do they like to be close to the herd, or do they like privacy?

I know it could have gone badly, but that is just too cute. I, too, would have loved a video. :gig
