    Triple trouble!!

    Milk her out almost completely then put the kids on her. If she is making so much milk milk her once a day. Some does just have to be milked while they have kids on them. If she is temder she will not let them nurse. Weight each kids and make sure they are growing daily.

    Hello eveyone. I am in trouble again.

    bcomplex every six hours round the clock. If you have a cattle or horse friend ask if they can get you a bottle of banamine. It helps with inflamation.

    What’s a good beginner sheep?

    If you do goats and sheep... just make sure to be super careful of the copper in things they eat... for the sheep. Goats need copper and it will kill sheep. You have the option of copper bolus for the goats and get a mineral with none in it. It just means that you most likely will need bolus the...

    Does this lard look right to you?

    If it smells it may have just “cooked” a lil too long. I did that one time and it was like that. But even when i do lard from ours it is much softer than store bought lard at room temp. I just keep mine in the fridge and only do a few qts at a time since it is easy to make.

    They look to have some nigi in them but also somethin else. Their snoots are way to long to be only nigi.

    So. Two female gp do not make a good pair usually. Most of the time two ladies will be jerks together even if litter mates. May want to rethink two females. I am surprised the breeder did not tell you this when you asked for two females. I am not sayin it never works but from all i see it is...

    New goat mom to a sweet culled pygmy baby girl

    Yay! I would ask the vet if you can buy a bottle of the bose. It is a wonderful thing to have on hand. And since he has seen the lil one he is more apt to let you buy one now that he knows you will be his customer. :).

    What Is This!!????......

    That looks like boy junks. Grew up on a hog farm and saw a lot of that. When the male does his thing the last part is kinda like a plug of sorts to keep it in her for a while so eggs get fertilized. It could also be her mucus plug. Both look very similar. Heat discharge is very not gelatinous...

    Help...

    If this happens again.... figure out which lady had the kits, pull fur from her belly... it will not hurt her to do this and pull a lot. Or pick up the fur she has pulled all over and use that too. We have two mamas that nearly bare their bellies for babies. No matter how hot it is.... when it...
