    disbudding

    If you want her to be a 4H project for your son, most likely she will have to be disbudded - they normally don't allow horned goats. If you are just now feeling the horn buds - now is the time to do it, the earlier the better provided an experienced person is doing it. The price you were given...

    Given price, which hay cutting to buy?

    This is great advice everyone, and since it is alfalfa, I'm thinking of going with about 50 bales of the 1st cutting and 30 bales of the 2nd cutting. I'd use the 1st cutting until they kid, and then switch to the 2nd cutting after. Don't want any issues with hypocalcemia. After asking more...

    Given price, which hay cutting to buy?

    We can buy 1st, 2nd, or 3rd cutting alfalfa for the goats this year (5 Nigerian Dwarfs - 4 milking and 1 kid) for winter. The hay guy is charging $4.00/bale for 1st cutting and $5.50/bale for 2nd or 3rd cutting. We've tried a bale of all three and oddly enough, the goats seem to prefer the 1st...

    Need advice on which tattoo set to buy for ND goats?

    It's time for us to start tattooing the kids before they leave the farm, and I was wondering which tattoo set-up works best for Nigerian Dwarfs. It looks like the tattoo sets come in 5/16", 3/8", or .300" sizes; and I'm thinking that the .300 size would work best for them since it's the...

    Need advice on socializing and feeding 10 week old kids

    Definitely at 10 weeks they are ready to be off the bottle - we let our dams raise their babies and by 8 weeks they usually have them weaned. If they don't, we make sure they are weaned by separating mom and the kids. I agree with RTG, switch to some treats and something they enjoy - they...
