m700 believe me it will be well worth it. You will have shadows that never leave your side. LOL. Ours followed us everywhere and were so noisy. They even loved helping me weed the garden except they loved to taste everything so I had to scold them every once in a while. Just remember to...

When we bottle fed last year we made a mixture of store bought milk here is the recipe we got from a local breeder. 1 Gallon Whole Milk ½ Gallon Buttermilk 1 12-ounce Can Evaporated Milk Here’s how to mix the ingredients: Pour out 2 cups of Whole Milk into a bowl. Add 1 cup of Buttermilk and...

@Southern by choice is correct about the feeding out of a bowl. I had one kid last year that nothing I did would get him to eat. I finally just dumped in a bucket and stuck his nose in it. He went to town from there. Sometimes the nipples just don't feel right or they just don't like the...

Dottie is the cutest. It almost looked like she was in a spotted onsie for a second. VERY cute.

Welcome from Iowa. We have Boer goats right now and are waiting on three Nigerian Dwarf goats to come home when their mommies are ready to wean. Waiting is the worst part. Your goats are super cute. I have only had goats for two years and this will be the first with the dwarfs. I was bitten...

Have not got my Nigerians home yet will be the first of next month and the end of May before they are all home. But we did get our Boer goats for 4H. Must say are they not some of the cutest things in the world. They are so ornery it is awesome.

Pictures are not going to be hard. I am so excited to get off work at my night job and take a quick nap so I can go see and love on my newest one. I won't get any of them until the first of the month but am VERY excited to start lovin' and squeezin'

As of right now my children only show at the local 4H fair. They are not into the serious fairs or shows. They more just like having them around because of the differences in personality. But regardless I want to make sure that they are getting the nutrients that they need. I did look and...

The Nigerians are all does. They Boer goats are going to be Weathers. I believe that when I get them they will be 6-8 weeks but I will check with the breeder. Around here we have alfalfa and then we can also get what is considered grass hay. It is basically what the DNR lets people mow and...

I am going to be getting my first set of three Nigerian goats in a month. They will be weaned from their mothers for at least a week when we get them. Here are some questions I have. I am brand new at Nigerians so how do they differ from Boer Goats would be great too? (Besides the size)...

Your beginning could be an exact mirror to mine. I got a call from my Mother who took my two kids to a sale with her for "help" only to find out that she bought them each a goat. Could not even tell me the kind but that they were both Boer goats (she guessed right. LOL). Anyway..... she...

Our 4H fair starts in July so I have a question is Noble Goat a good goat to be feeding to the market weathers that we will be showing. My kids are not in it to go to the state fair by any means but they do want to do well. Also we have Boer as well as Nigerian Dwarf goats. While there is no...

ours uses three leaders that way in case one person can not make it the other two can step up.

I grew up on a farm in Nebraska and loved 4H. I am so happy and excited that my kids have found a love for it as well. My daughter started 3 year ago with just a bottle calf (she was too young to show in 4H but they had a Clover Kids division). My son followed her a year later and thus...

I have loved goats for as long as I can remember but we just started getting into raising them. By we I mean my two kids and I. I have an 18 year old son and an 11 year old daughter. We started last year with 4 market Boer goats as a 4H project and while the kids loved it they fell in love...
