I have a Boer buck who will be 2 in May. This morning a lump was found by where his beard is. It is free moving and I did see some hair loss in the area. It is firm but not hard. It does not seem to be attached to a bone. He does not seem to mind when you touch it. I wormed him today with...

She has severe pink eye. I want to start treatment asap but am not sure what to use with her being so young. I am now putting two and two together and think I may have a chlaymidia thing going on. Had a doe abort about 3 weeks ago and now a newborn with pink eye. What should I treat the mom...

I have a registered Boer buck. He was my herd sire this year and the kids are hitting the ground now. My does are not registered. Can the kids be registered? If so ...how do I do it?

I have a 3 year old Nubian doe. She had as beautiful doeling last July and never really bounced back. She had dry curly hair now. Fecals done and has been wormed. She eats and drinks. No temp. I am very concerned about her. Sometimes when I feed her grain she will choke on it which I am not...

I have an dairy mix who is a big girl ( about 200 lbs) She is an apline / togg mix of sorts. Sunday she aborted triplets after getting beat up at the feeder by another goat. They were about 6 weeks early I think. ( I have pics if any one would like to see). I did not find all of the...

Here are the pics of Kreature. This was day 2 of Treatment - When she started to atleast try to hold herself up. This was day 5 of treatment - When she shock us by opening up her pen and walking out to enjoy the sunshine. As you can see she did not ever lose weight or show any real signs...

A friend of our is getting rid of his herd of goats. He has a 3 year old GP male who he is looking to rehome. The GP has been with his goats his whole life. Is there any hope of getting him to accept my herd and being a good LGD for my herd?

I have a 2 year old alpine doe. I have been battling scours off and on with a few of my goats which I am guessing is this weather, seems after a rain they get the much softer poop for a day and then it clear up... kurt is another story. Kurt is one of my best does. ... In terms of kidding -...

We do deer processing and have for many years. Last year we did a few pigs for us and a few cows for us and our families. This year we are getting all our ducks in a row to become ODA custom processors :-) The health department has already been out, the USDA inspector has been out, we are...

Fiona is due July 4th according to the person I got her from. Her sister ( bertha ) is due the same month but they were not able to give me a better date. I am not looking forward to kidding in July but I am looking forward to seeing when they have. I hope to get pics in the next few days of...

Little red is my 2 month old boer buckling. Been through rough times with Red ( bacterial scours - fixed, infected disbudding site - fixed) and now that the cap has fallen off there is a hole. It is a small hole maybe an 1/8 of inch but still a hole. The site looks much better now that the...

I would like to get a male and a female. I currently have 7 acres for them to guard. Eventually it will be 27 acres but when that time comes I think I may just get another pair for across the street if need be. The cows will be on the 20 acres across the street... any ways. Would it be...

Ditto and Bailey are my two small nubians. Ditto is about 65-70 lbs. Bailey is about 75-80lbs. Both are well over a year old just small. Bailey came from a very small mom and Ditto came from the sale barn so no telling what her dam and sire were. She looks nubian just smaller. They were...

SO what all should I need to know? We have had a couple cows/ steers before. We still have one steer Phillip who is officially a pet. Been wanting a Scottish highland so the opportunity arose and now in a few weeks we will be picking her up. Any one want to chime in with Highland experience...

What is with this cough? is it the weather? I have a few goats that are doing the occasional dry hacking cough. No one has a temp, no one is acting off, no scours. Just a dry cough. I am annoyed with it. Is it from being penned up? The funky warm one minute, cold the next weather? Should I...

When do I start worming the kids? Right now eveyone ranges from 1 week to almost 8 weeks. What is a safe wormer to use for them?

And it is Sunday.... No vets in. Or I would take him in a second. Had the scours off and on for the last few days. Running around yesterday still playing. Today when opened his crate he did not come bounding out like normal. He is real wobbly. He is a bottle baby, who did get coloustrum...

r I have a 10 day old bottle baby that developed the scours. I recently upped his bottle and he is taking 3 bottles a day at 10 oz each. Could it have been just too much for his system ? Should I cut him back? Still active, playing, no temp, not lethargic, etc... but very worried about him...

I have a 4 week old buckling that is acting a bit off at time. The other day he had the scours. I gave him a does of probitics and then next day no more scours. I had upped their grain so I thought that may have been the scours problem. His sister is acting fine. He eats wells. I see him...

Kreature is my boer doe who I had a hard time getting to settle. She is 2 years old and never kidded. I thought maybe an infection of sorts so I treated her with a round of Bio-mycin. I have not noticed her coming back into heat but I did happen to check her udder the other day, what I found...
