Ok here is the line up. Right out of the jug: Almond Spice had a successful kidding yesterday afternoon. She gave birth to a 9 pound doeling. Next up is either Mary, a three year old Saanan/ La Mancha cross who is boarding with me. Or Evelyn, my four year old grand daughter of Mama...

Well, Monday, April 2nd, we had a disaster kidding. At three am, I heard the telltale screaming from the field. I went out and found my young first time freshening doe, Spice, in a panic, SCREAMING and running around the field with a kid hanging out of her bottom, tail first, front legs...

Evelyn is having her second set of kids. She is ginormous. Her udder is huge and full. Her tail looks like a question mark. So where are those babies? When are they going to make an appearance? Tonight? Tomorrow? NEXT WEEK? :barnie Bonzai, the kids' daddy, could care less. He just...

I have a three month old buckling with chronic diarrhea. His poop is normal colored. He is growing but not particularly fattening up. He has a suspicious pot belly. He has normal poo in between bouts of diarrhea. It seems to bloom after the rain and at night specifically. I can't seem to...

So, I took my goats to the sale. BUT until this little shetland ewe lamb was sold they would not start selling my herd. No one would bid so I paid a token bid for Petunia. Petunia is neurologically impaired. The best way to describe her is Cerebral Palsy. She has akathisia. This means that...

I just read an article on the internet that there is a health alert in Sarasota Florida for Rabies, based on a Goat that got rabies from an animal bite. I checked several websites and it seems to be legitimate. I thought that goats didn't get rabies or carry it. This is extremely unusual, but...

I found the cutest goat and sheep patterns on pinterest. http://www.amigurumipatterns.net/Farm-Animals/Etu-the-sheep/ But there are some amazing free ones on there that are very adorable, like the little sheep above. Take a look at the goat I crocheted. I paid for this pattern. The...

AKA Jealous Bean AKA Jelly Mean... She is a very jealous and mean girl some times. She head butts the other girls and is going to have to be sold. :barnie :thShe thinks she is in charge. She has been doing that since she miscarried last year. For now I am keeping her till she kids and the...

Lizzy Bell - She was born on 1-7-15. Her mooma had a tough time and the calf got collostrum "maybe". But since then didn't nurse well. Yesterday she was found in a heap in the freezing rain, about 10 minutes from frozen solid. We got her in next to the furnace, dried and it took about...

My doe tore the skin on her teat. It is a bad tear and the teat is going to take a long time to heal. I repaired it the best I could but she has newborn kids and can't nurse them. (She had a congested udder and the other teat is still pretty sore.) One of the kids is bottle feeding fine...

Clear JOY A beautiful dog in action. Just having fun. The power of this dog is amazing.

She is going to be big. She is gorgeous. She is Mama's daughter so she will be fabulously regal and queen-like. (She already is headbutting all the boys off the hill.) She needs a name... I thought of Petunia, but it just doesn't fit her... HELP...

Jelly Bean kidded triplets. Clearly they are part full size Alpine, part Spanish and of course, Jelly Bean is a Nigerian Dwarf. (S.A.N.D. goats) SO the question is, these babies are tiny compared to Mama's kids. Any predictions about how big these kids will get? I am guessing they will...

I sold Perl to a lovely home. I was "sure" she was bred to Houdini and not due till May. Well, I got an e-mail today from the buyer saying she kidded two kids and they are IAN babies. :barnie She is very disappointed... I offered to loan her Houdini for breeding her does, but can't think...

Well, her ligaments are gone. Her udder is huge. She didn't want to go out and browse and her back is all tilty and funny. She is big as a house... She had her BoSe and her CD/T yesterday in preparation for her due date - NEXT MONTH... I guess Jelly Bean was fooling around earlier than I...
