I have an F1 Mini Saanen doe born in March 2020 and am interested in finding a buck for her in future that is either another mini Saanen or Nigi. She is 17” now may possibly get a little taller. She comes from good milk lines and my hope is to find a buck with strong lines as well and maternal...

Around here we have azaleas galore. My property used to be part of a Tung oil farm, and that plant is highly prolific and toxic. Saplings are constantly springing up and I kill them when I see them, but the goats haven’t eaten them, as far as I’ve seen. Otherwise we have pine trees and the goats...

I picked up this little darling yesterday. I’ve got Myotonic and mini Myotonic and next to them, she looks like a fairy sprite. She comes from good milk lines and my hope is to learn all about milking and have fun with it. I’d like to have her future kids registered MDGA as she is, but I’m...

Thank you! I feel like I learn something new every day.

I wanted add a few things: I have good, five foot fencing that I topped with hot wire, and ran hot wire coils at the bottom of all gates. My dog (and goats) hit this when they first arrived and now respect it 100 percent. My biggest difficulty with my LGD is he hates riding in a vehicle. It’s a...

This is a great thread. I’m fairly new to LGDs I currently have a 14-month old GP on five acres with goats and chickens. He came from a ranch and several generations of working dogs. I’ve raised, trained and competed with working GSDs so I thought I knew dogs well enough. He is more like a cat...

Hi Jorah is nearing 5 months and doing great with my goats and chickens. We’ve had coyotes howling at night, and stray neighbor dogs running the fence (fortunately they can’t get through it) and I decided to bring home Jorah’s litter sister, whom I’ve named Jolie. She also is a wonderful...

You have enough land. It’s more about the predator load than the acreage. The main thing will be proper fencing, to keep the stock and LGD in, and help keep predators out. If you keyword-search these forums, there’s lots of great information on that as well as LGD breeds, selection and...

He’s named after a character from the Game of Thrones series that was noble, loyal, a warrior and self-sacrificing. And handsome

Jorah doing well and now going on 12 weeks and 23 lbs.

This is my newest addition. She’s from registered miniature myotonic parents but has five nipples on her udder so the breeder did not register her. She is the sweetest thing.

Doing well (with supervision) with his chickens and goats.

My rancher (from whom I bought the goats and pup) gets them here: http://ezhutch.net/index.php

Thank you! I’ve learned a lot on this forum before getting him and I know it will be a continuous learning process.

My goats and I think these portable shelters are great. I can move them anywhere but they’re plenty sturdy and keep the goats out of the rain.

Introducing Jorah. GP, Born in a goat pasture to two working parents, now with me and three myotonic weanlings and a flock of chickens. We’ve been working short sessions on “long lead, no chase.”

Hi all! I finally got my goats, three Myotonic (two with a splash of Spanish) weanlings and my LGD. Just wanted to share some pics:

I’m considering using a storage custom builder to construct a goat shed on my property. I’ll have smaller portable shelters in the field from my rancher but this will be for safe lockup at night while the LGD pup matures. In future I’d like to use as possible kidding shelter. I’ll have 3-5...

Anyone near this area have Rex, Fox, California or NZ rabbits available? Thanks!

I’m getting started with my hobby farm. I’ve got a rancher mentor that I plan to get meat goats and Guinea fowl from in the spring. I’m on a waiting list for a kangal pup. I’ve read “The Way of the Pack.” Solid fencing coming in 4-6 weeks. Chickens too. This rancher breeds a litter of Great...
