I have a first freshener ready to pop any day now. She is a HUGE, waddling, mess. We installed a netcam in the barn last night and I absolutely love it. I thought for sure she would go last night or today but she is hanging in there. But, since it is a web cam I can still keep a vigilant watch...

I have a buck who seems to walk on the sides of his hooves intead of the bottoms. I trimmed them yesterday and did the best I could to try and correct this. They weren't over grown just grown funny. I will try and get some pictures to better show you what I mean but I had to trim some from in...

She is a 1st generation Mini-Nubian. I believe her full name is going to be Sweet M'Caprine My Lil Angelface. The only way I could get her to hold still was to scratch her head and ear.

I went out today to trim hooves when I put one of my mini nubioan girls on the stand I saw this. She was with my buck a couple months ago and as you can see has absolutely no udder development so there is no way she could be full term. I felt it and it is still attached to her and solid...

I'm not lactose intolerant. And I've always drank skim or 2% from the store. I've been drinking it for about two weeks now and its only when I drink a cup quickly. Its not ummm "scours" just a sudden urge to go. Anyone else experience this. As far as I know. No one else in my family is having...

So, I got my TMGR membership packet today with a 2014 calender and low and behold lookie who is Mr. March!

I have a Doe whose kids make it :( I started milking her and wanted to know what to do with the colostrum other than save it in the event I have kids and no doe someday soon. How long with it keep in through freezer?

This is my first planned kidding. I had an experienced doe give birth last year but I didn't know she was pregnant until there were babies in the pen. I tried to get some pics for you all but she is a little shy about showing her backside. I know she is getting close. Her udder keeps growing but...

So, I've been doing research on the web about different dog breeds. I love dogs but my boyfriend hates the hair. So, my search turns to dog breeds that shed less. Turns out there is this "designer dog" poodle mix that would be a nice fit. However, I am a firm believer in adopting a pound puppy...

Taking my first goat to butcher next week. How would you typically have a goat cut?

I have asked for all kinds of her for my mini-nubian Strawberry but after finding a second CL absess on her in the 3 months that I've had her and the sores on her hind end that won't heal I've decided it is probably best just to put her down. I don't want to give her someone else and perpetuate...

It's been like this since I got her two months ago. I've tried cleaning it and spraying with blu-kote. There was some pink on the rag. I thought that was goat pellets that were sticking to her, but upon closer examination they appear to be scabs. I've taken care of all of her other medical...

It seems like lately it is always something. One doe has a big gash in her side. I've been treating for weeks now and finally seems to be healing up. I think it was self inflicted because I isolated her and it got bigger. Ended up having to wrap her up to where it looks like she is wearing a...

She is the newest addition to my herd and I brought her home against my better judgement. I just felt so sorry for her. I have a few posts on here about her already. She was wormy, underweight, and very overgrown hooves. She has been in quarantine this whole time because of the lump and worms...

Marshmallow hasn't been acting herself and looks like she's not feeling very good. Do you think I should be concerned? :lau :lau :lau Sorry playing with my Dead yourself app again! Happy Halloween! I made it smaller. That's pretty gruesom all big and blown up

I gave my new doe a SQ dose of Ivermec Plus today. I have given her Safe Guard a month ago and she still had a medium worm load, so I wanted to give her something else. And she just screamed and screamed. I felt so bad for her. :hit I made sure it was just under the skin no muscle, no vein. Was...

He is still too small for my stanchion so I have to hold him in my lap to trim his hooves. How do I do it without getting his stink all over me? :sick

I just got a second buckling yesterday. Drove all the way to Michigan thinking I would be getting unrelated bloodlines. Turns out he is the great nephew of one of my does and his great grandpa is my other bucks father. My plan was to breed him to the offspring I kept from breeding my other buck...

I have both breeds and it seems like my ND have a more filled out look than the mini nubians. I have been pulling the minis for seperate extra feedings to try and fatten them up but am now thinking this may not be nesassary as they are at a fine weight. This is my most recent addition and I...

I have been trying to come up with a unique herd name but have a concern. What if you are submitting your request to multiple registries (1st and 2nd choices) and you are given different ones because your 1st choice is already taken? Do you end with a goat that has two different names (prefixes)...
