Yes, 16% will be fine (that is actually what I am feeding right now, but when I want to put weight on, my Nubians do seem to fair better on a 18%) if that's what you normally feed. She's not terribly thin, just could use a bit more covering. She's a very beautiful girl, and I'm sure she'll...
Just as you posted, I edited my post to say get 18% (protein) goat feed to be more clear, LOL.
I agree with getting her tested for G6S, that is very important.
She definitely looks purebred Nubian to me. She is pretty thin though. How much does she weigh?
If possible, I would start her on 24/7 alfalfa hay if you haven't already, and a good 18% goat (not all-stock) grain. I would also get a fecal done ASAP.
Another breeding is underway! Saffron (registered 88% Kiko) to "Joe", a 6-7 month old registered purebred Kiko buck that we are borrowing from the same breeder we got Saffron and Mazil from. The resulting kids will be purebred Kikos.
And this little cutie is a doeling we just got from the...
Thank you! That is so cool that you showed against Foxwood! I'm so excited about Demelza (Seraphina). :weee We weren't looking to add another doe, but I *just so happened* to see that someone in MS was selling her whole herd, and Demelza caught my eye right away.
And YES! I really, really want...
Awww, Blossom! :love I remember her from your other thread. Praying the results will come back negative!
I would love to see some pictures of your crew when/if you have the chance!
I will be sure to let you know then! We do need to sell at least one of them at some point (honestly, sooner rather than later), but I don't even want to think about that right now... I may be a little too attached. :lol:
But I really don't need TWO Nubian bucks for three does.
Again, I've been absent since July (only popping in once or twice in that time)! :oops: We've had a crazy, crazy busy fall!
Our first does to kid (3 registered Nubians) should be due from February 9th-16th, if they're all pregnant... but they all missed their latest cycle, so I'm almost 99%...
Welcome to BYH, we're glad to have you here! I love, love, LOVE your goat shed! :love
We also have Kikos, just a mother/daughter pair at the moment. But on Friday, if all goes well, we will be bringing home a new breeding buck and yet another young doe! Very excited for the upcoming kidding season.
So exciting! :weee We need pictures though....
My first 3 does are all *supposed* (not yet confirmed bred) to be due in mid February, they'll be kidding right on top of each other. o_O But I wanted it that way, I like kids to be born in groups so that if there are single births, they have...
