    Breed her, not beat her!

    Im pretty sure its heat.. Shes a pretty quiet goat (unless shes hungry) and her calls are just.. weird. Very out of character. Ive put them in a 12x12 and hes sniffed her a couple times and shows *slightly* more interest. The way shes gently rubbing her nose up and down his front legs and...

    Breed her, not beat her!

    I removed her, but I dont have a place where they cant see or hear her. All he is worried about it her. He is still not interested :barnie I even took some of her urine and swiped it on his nose, nothing Ive seen him take a sniff at her tail area and just walk away. Shyanne is becoming more...

    Rusty discharge - Open Doe

    Or atleast she should be open. I saw her in heat the day after my buckling died... Yesterday I put a new buck (11 months) in with them. She was either going into heat or coming out. She is black skinned so when she goes into heat her vulva turns pink. It was just a tad pink yesterday with a...

    Goats eating my great pyrenees's fur

    If I sit with my goats long enough theyll decide my hair is a pretty good snack.. :sick Maybe spray some kind of bitter spray on the dogs hair? Like the sour spray they make to deter puppies from chewing

    Constructing a woven wire field fence - PICS

    The SO and his friend put the gate post a little too far too, to fix it they just hooped some extra fencing to close the gap

    How do you goats get along with other animals?

    My does dont like the dogs much.. Caesar is always trying to befriend something. The bantam rooster will sometimes try to get buck on the does and they will fight him off.. Its actually pretty funny to see.

    Locking goats up at night? Help!

    I would probly "starve them out". Leave them in the shelter once youve got them in there. Give them fresh water but make sure they get good and hungry... Go out a few times a day and offer something by hand (pick a green branch off something, or grain, or hay). If they dont want to take it...

    Is she pregnant?? Update and questions!!

    I think being that far along you can probly "feel" for it. Stick your hand up between the udder and the stomach with a good amount of pressure and wait for movement. Shes not going to like this very much but then again... goats dont really like anything being done to them.
