So I've been dealing with a pretty nasty mastitis in one of my Jersey cows. While treatment is done and we're basically in limbo waiting on the healing process.. I thought it might be a good informational post for this section. The "issue" is it is very graphic in nature, picture wise, towards...

So we've had theft issues lately. Someone has stolen most of my breeding poultry from our pastures. Its been mentioned to get an LGD, but the cows would tromp and stomp the poor dog in a heartbeat. I have no intention of locking up the chickens in coops, permanently (Everyones on temp lockdown...

So we purchased 2 NZW does, a young breeding pair of Am. Chinchillas and a young breeding pair of NZRs. I later purchased a NZW buck so I could get his girls bred before they turned 8mo. Well we were moving cages today and I noticed one of my NZW "does" seemed to have, well... testicles :ep...

So I noticed Jeffers was out of the 12.5g Copasure but I needed to bolus a few cows, so we ended up getting the big ones. Good lord they're huge :ep I have read yall use the 12.5 and divide em into 3rds for regular size goats. Would I be able to use the 25g ones and just divide em into 6ths...

Hello Folks :) I finally got me a couple more does! They're supposedly Nubian cross mutts. The light doe could use some groceries, their paddock area was dirt and no browse, a dry lot set-up. We have grass, though short, and some browse. I'll be keeping an eye on them for bloat.. between stress...

Can one do this? It seems dairy breeds are a bit more fragile when it comes to things such as cocci, from what I've been reading, and I'm curious to know if one can breed natural resistance into thier herd? For example, if some kids have cocci symptoms or are fecal'd positive for cocci while...

So its getting hotter here... and I've been noticing one of the cows has what sounds like whooping cough. (Not sure if cows can get something like that, but its just what it sounds like) She was fine with the cooler weather, but now she's getting worse. We are about to contact the vet about...

So my Jersey, Jezzie, has been terrific since we brought her home. She took on a calf that was abandonded by his mama, and started producing milk for him within a couple days. But I've noticed she's not bagged up completely. Now the calf is well satisfied and growing like a weed, but I was...

So we were deconstructing the huge chicken coop and it has 2 platforms inside, for roosts. I got this bright idea, "HEY! Lets use that as the stanchion platform!" DH thought it was a good idea as well.. so we got it all built! Well, some of yall have seen the new doe I just got.. she's in milk...

She was sold to me as a Pygmy, but she lacks the stouter bone structure of one, to me anyways (but I'm still a newbie to this) supposedly 1 monthish bred and a few days past kid weaning (that was awesome, she's still bagged up so we tried to milk her some tonight to help relieve pressure and...

So I'm looking to trade a few of my Pygmys for a Nanny in milk. I just got an email saying this was a Nubian someone was interested in trading.... I thought they had long floppy ears? What do yall think this goat is? Alpine mix? I know it aint the best picture, but its the only one I was sent.

So we got ourselves a 3ish yo Jersey the other day. She's stubborn, sweet, ornery and loves attention, on her terms! LOL The guy we bought her from got her from the auction a few months ago. She was skinny so he wormed her and has been grazing her on pasture and giving some grain on the side...

SO we're "caretaking" a friends ranch, with a herd of beef cows on it. I noticed one of the mamas has mastitis. Can't tell if she's got a baby runnin round or not :hu I've done a search here. Didn't turn up much specifics... I know a little bout cows. I'm more a horse person. The info I...
