I got the small heated bucket... for my 4 nigis, 2 Alpines, and dog to share. I fill it once a day, but have never run out (they are locked in at night and this is all the water they have... during the day, they have access to share the horse's 5g heated bucket). It's really a great set-up for...
That's great, Free...
I just sold my first baby boy about 2 months ago now... and we *miss* him dearly. I sold him to an older woman who had just kept 3 or 4 goats for years, but was needing some replacement stock. She sent me a note a last week requesting more of my babies... knowing that...

No kidding. Right in the smaller pen in front of the barn. The pumpkins are sprouting like wildfire... the goats, horse, and dog won't touch it. On a positive note, guess we won't be visiting the pumpkin patch this to buy our pumpkins!
What a horrible thing to have happen! I'm so sorry!
What area of the country are you in? Someone may be able to point you in the right direction toward a different herd of goats. Give yourself some time, but consider not giving up. They really are worth the effort!

I spent weeks on an eradication mission to pull them all out... once I *thought* I had it, I put the goats out... my least favorite goat was...
At the risk of sounding like a dork, he's *so* cute! LOL How long does it usually take the kids to get to full coat?
I've visited their website a few times, and it's a good thing they are 3.5 hours from me... or I might have taken a little shopping trip! ;) DH would likely make ME live in...
He's gorgeous! I was on their website the other night and was drooling over Impressive's dam! (And I don't have silkies!) Roulette is a gorgeous dude! Congrats!
