So I have a family that wants to buy my orphan goat. They have mini horse, mini donkey, rabbits and 4H kids and are homeschooled. Do you think she would be ok without another goat friend, or until spring when more goats are on the market?
Here’s her comment to me
“She would be with us in the...
Right now we’re in -10C night to -2C day, for the next week. She’s in the house, but moving her to the garage (about +10) when my pen arrives next week.
So there seems to be a great debate about this. Doing the math the price of whole milk to weaning seems to be about the same as a bag of Agri-melc 2000. Although I think I would have left over replacer raising a 2lb Nigerian dwarf kid to weaning. But certainly preparing the milk replacer is...
Yes, I’ve been lucky I think. It would bulge and then disappear right away when she stood normally and it doesn’t happen when she lays down. Will be watching a lot, much to her chagrin. She’s like excuse me! Get out of my business thank you very much. I hope she goes sooner rather than later.

Also, I know she’s young, but do you have a mineral block out for her? My friends sheep was eating everything, including wood and paint and then I found out she didn’t have any salt out for them. The eating stopped after that,
I’ve been a member of backyardchickens, and just heard of this site tonight when asking about an issue with my goat. I’ve a small herd of dorper sheep and a couple of Nigerian dwarf goats. I’ve been farming for about 13 years. I have leaned that you never stop learning and there’s always...
So I’ve been lambing/kidding for 13 years and I’ve not ever seen this. This little goat is due to kid for her first time in the next 2-7 days (her actual due date is Jan 19th). When she stands up on a block to eat this comes out. When she stands normal she’s fine. Kids/kid are still moving about...
