The bite pressure thing is grossly inaccurate, but I digress. NO peroxide. Peroxide kills healthy tissue and good bacteria. Water only is best. Dogs of ALL breeds can be very prey driven. It is absolutely the owner's fault for not having it contained. With that said, it doesn't seem like the...

I'd take in a fecal while you're at it.

Two LaMancha doelings for sale. Can be ADGA registered. Excellent lines. I'd keep them if I had another buck to breed them to. One was born in March, and the other in May. Asking $250/pair or $150 each. Located in eastern panhandle of WV.

I have 2 LaMancha doelings for sale. I'm in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. Breeder quality, if you choose to breed later in the future. Asking $250/pair.

This is what I figured. I hope it is not permanent. If it is, though, she's definitely not letting it stop her. She's a no-nonsense camelid!

Recently had meningeal worm here in a female alpaca. I caught it just as she started becoming wobbly in her back. Started treating the next day and finished her treatment 2 days ago. In that time, she has definitely not gotten any worse. She went from normal to very unsteady in 2 days, so I'm...

They'll be fine. It'll give them a jolt and they'll go about their business.

Based on the photo of her body condition, she did just look chunky all around. She didn't have the "waistline" that a pregnant goat has. They usually have the reverse hourglass....thin-BIG-thin. I think your girl just looked big all around. At least now you can stop worrying and driving...

Are you sure they are CAE, CL and Jonnies negative? By bringing in shelter/sale barn goats, you could be opening up a can of worms and potentially harm your whole herd.

Yikes!! I'd definitely not be able to afford goats with those hay prices! I hated to pay $5 a bale for timothy/orchard mix with delivery! Hopefully once summer comes the price will drop.

:( I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't think it was anything that you did or anything you could have done. Sometimes nature just pulls a fast one and socks us in the face. :(

I can't speak as much for banding time, but I do know that you should wait a few months so that their urethra has the chance to grow to prevent UC. As far as the disbudding, that is waaaaaay off. Disbudding should be done no later than a few days or when you feel the horn buds and the hair...

Anything???

The Eastern Panhandle. Zip code 25414.

Yeah, I'd say today is a good day for her to have those kids! :)

Buckling and Doeling for sale in WV. Quality genetics from sire and dam. Excellent production from dam. Asking $150 for doeling and $200 for buckling (herdsire quality). ADGA papers included.

Since she's an older doe, I think it could be fatty deposits in her udder. Everyone else is right, 2.5 weeks is not nearly long enough for her to start building an udder.

I think I'd name him "Piglet!" So cute!!

I had missed all my other kiddings here and I was determined NOT to miss Fred's! I was so glad to see it all, but even more glad that Fred didn't need any help and that the babies were so healthy. My biggest fear is going out to see a dead kid or dead doe all because I wasn't there to help.

You can also do little "test runs". When it's a nice day (not today or tomorrow because the weather sucks) put them out under supervision. See what happens. Usually by day 4-5 I let them out full time. Fred's kids may be sooner because they're larger and much more precocious than some of the...
