Anyone ever heard or seen this? http://newlondon.craigslist.org/grd/2229968437.html "We have some dog goat puppies on our farm that will be ready for mid April. Here's your chance to add a rare Dog Goat to your farm."

Fudgie was/is due anywhere from Feb 2nd - Feb 22nd. She hasn't yet kidded, but her little udder has grown substantially. It was stretched last night - sorta like a little basketball, but her teats are still teeny tiny. She's an oberhasli/nubian cross. Do they drop milk into their teats as...

I'm excited and a little scared. I've watched it a few times before in person and also watched stuff on-line. I have dehorned my cow before, but that was my first and so far only time dehorning/disbudding anything. He turned out to have scurs, but I know it's because I didn't keep the iron on...

I think her goat is going to kid very soon! I love mare stare! http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=phoenixrising ETA 2/14/11 - I have no affiliation with this farm; it's just one of the only goat farms I know of on Marestare that I've been checking to see if anyone's birthin babies. I...

Well - we got hit HARD by the storm...it is 11:15 am and STILL SNOWING! I know we have more than the 22 the news is saying CT got. My husband and I went outside around 9:30 -10 to access the situation and I have to say DANG. We have big problems! First I noticed something was a little...

This says it's 1% ivermectin so I assume it's the same thing as Ivomec - and it's about $8 cheaper than the brand name. Anyone try it? I'm all for generics!

My doe that I thought was bred in September came back into heat 3 months in a row. I've had her in with the bucks, but they're A LOT younger than she is (7 yrs vs. 10 mos) and the buck she chose to breed with is just too small to do the job (I had her in with both bucks since she refused to be...

I'd be rich if I were this person!

I dehorned our calf on 8/25/10 (my first time ever!) - so far I haven't found any scurs or seen any horn growth, but how can I tell if I really did it right? Since it's been almost 2 months would the calf have grown substantial horns or scurs by now? I know the horns grow slower than goat...

I'm running myself raggid trying to make sure I don't have a problem (well, OK - I do have problems, but I mean when I make the soap!) I'd like to make different types of soap with beer, wine, a salt bar, and a coffee bar, so I'm trying to wrap my head around how I can do that with my current...

What do you all do when your wire stretches (or is mine the only one that has)? I've pulled the wires (charger off, of course) but the wires still seem to sag. I have a combination of t posts and trees with the "Red Snapr" insulators - should I wrap the wire around the insulator instead of...

I've searched around here and can't seem to find a description of what to look for in the "Latin: hoo-chicus" (:))to determine if a doe is bred. Ariel - I know you've said you can tell pretty easily...what is it that you look for?

There's been a few good threads on here about what people have on hand in the medicine cabinet or what people use for their goats with respect to housing, feeding, general play. Is it possible to put these threads as a sticky either in the 'Birthing, Weaning, and Raising Young Goats", "Diseases...

I have two 5 1/2 mo old doelings and currently their mother is with a buck for late winter/early spring kidding. I have mom and the buck away from the girls, but holy cow! They keep calling and calling for her, and she calls right back. They've only been separated for a day, yesterday was the...

We have a new doeling who is 4 1/2 mos old. She's an alpine named Oreo and we got her a little over a week ago. Being the 'new girl', everyone is setting their place with her and she hasn't yet figured out how to assert her place. Then we have Sir Loin, a 9 week old Jersey calf who lives with...

Anyone have any experience with this? Two bucks that a friend of mine has are both experiencing rawness in between the toes on the same hoof - no other hooves, just one on each goat and it's the same one. All her other goats aren't experiencing anything similar. She was thinking founder...

I have the ability to use one for free, but I'm worried if it's big enough. He's a Jersey Bull, quite a cutie, and the buds are starting to grow. They're not huge by any means, probably 1/4" high. Not sure about their circumference, but I'll check. Beats a $150 vet bill anyway....

About a week ago I heard A cough then nothing else. A few days later heard A cough again and was able to see it came from my wether. Yesterday I heard him cough a few times, so it seems the cough is increasing. I wormed him on Friday w/ivomec to cover lung worm and plan to redose next Wed (10...

Wow - I really am full of questions! I've read that we should give the bull a shot of tetanus toxoid prior to banding - is that true? If so, can I just give him 5ml of my CD&T that I have for goats?
