I have a mixed horn flock. Some came with them, and others were disbudded. It's all about temperament. None of mine are aggressive with anyone, so the horns are a non-issue. Might be worth a shot.

I don't think you know how much milk it takes to make fudge. You'll need to make about 20 or more batches to use up a gallon! You're better off growing another baby animal on it, or adding it to other livestock/pet feed. Dogs love it and think it's the best treat ever. Cheese also uses up a...

I just pimped out a Fainter buck this week. I advertised on craigslist, too. But of course you will get the morons asking how much the goat is to buy and don't understand what buck service is, like the person who just emailed me. So be prepared to deal with that if you put an ad up.

Oh my gosh...those ears are insane! Move over to the US and bring about 100 of those with you!! I'd be first in line to buy one!

A doe's ligaments will only loosen shortly (usually less than 24 hours) before kidding. If you are feeling something loose early on in pregnancy, you are not feeling the right spot. Sounds to me like she's not bred, or she's at least not due for a month or two. It looks like what you saw was a...

I've seen that same listing before. That hen must be pretty old by now. Tempting, but I'll pass. She's probably sterile anyway.

A word of advice... Don't ever google it. Not pretty. Not pretty at all.

I just figured that I wasn't good at checking out doe vulvas :idunno

http://www.americanfaintinggoat.com/?page_id=656 Does this page help explain the "pooch test?" I saw it and wondered if it looked accurate or like total...well...BS.

Yes. Any color other than white is considered a Sable.

Nice looking girls! Since they have color and are not pure white, they are actually called Sable and not Saanen. Only white is allowed for a Saanen.

Udders are much more useful than aerial views. It's almost impossible to tell from belly photos whether it is a big rumen or a belly full of kids. Track udder progress and you'll know if she is bred and when to be on the lookout for kids.

I'd do a blood draw and test for CAE, then only pull from any positive does.

Am I seeing things, or is it possible for a 35 day bred doe to be showing? At first I thought, "Hmmm...she looks different. Oh, she must've eaten a lot of hay." After several days of thinking that, I'm wondering if she could actually be showing instead. She's a FF, and no udder development just...

I'd say if she doesn't know when a goat comes into milk, and she thinks a pygmy is a dairy goat, you're better off not selling a goat to her because she doesn't know anything about goats.

I don't have that model, so I can't attest to its strength. My advice is to make sure you have a strong charger to make sure they learn their lesson the first time. A weak charger means that they'll get out because getting the shock is worth the reward of getting out. I found that out the hard way!

I only give it as needed. I, too, saw almost immediate improvement in the coat color, sheen, and feel. But don't give it unless they really need it. Copper toxicity is no joke.

Probably copper. Get some Copasure from Jeffers.

I just went through this a few weeks back. I did Safeguard at 5x horse dosage for 6 days. I'm happy to report that you can't even tell anymore that she was once a stumbling, wobbly mess!

Dr. Barr at NatGeo conducted a study in which Pit Bulls had the least bite pressure in a test of GSDs, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls. The Pit came in third, at 235lbs. No reliable studies since then have ever measured a Pit Bull's higher than that. As a Pit advocate myself, I can't stand the...
