    First Time Goat Herd

    Ha! I grabbed a big bag of the minerals suggested today at the store, so we'll see if we can get those coats shiny and healthy soon! I also got some hoof trimmers and a couple brushes. I'm sure they'll love me tomorrow. I made sure to be stocked up on cookies too. Oh and I found a big tube of...

    First Time Goat Herd

    Oh that's awesome! I've read some places that said pygmies are basically impossible to milk, so that's very good to know. She's my 5 year old's favorite, so I really hope she'll do well for us. She is so funny. She likes to lay on the porch and get belly scratches like a dog =)

    First Time Goat Herd

    Oh good to know! She has blue eyes and is very sweet. She just has some definite features I think are pygmy. It's not major, I just wanted her for milking. We'll have to wait and see what her udder looks like.

    First Time Goat Herd

    Thank you so much! I decided about the same thing. I'll know she's pregnant when there are more goats than I expected when I go to the barn 🤣

    Stupid dog!

    I'm glad you were able to catch that! We lost our herd queen to a stray last Fall, and we have since added a great pyr. She was a puppy, but she was raised around livestock. She's been very good with them, but we also had to teach her it's not OK to chase and "play" with the goats. She liked to...

    I hope so! I was hopeful on Ms Lily before, but I think she just likes her hay 🤣 These are my "puppies". The mail lady gave me a weird look, but oh well. Rascal is my Boston Terrier, and he thinks he's a farm dog. We added a great pyr to the pasture, and she's fantastic. Rascal likes to...

    Thanks BarnOwl! We plan to milk ours as well. I have 4 that are for sure ND, but my older 2 I think may have some Pygmy. We shall see. They were in rough shape, but I've got them looking better now. I'd be happy to share pics! Thanks for the Texas Welcome as well =) We also have rex rabbits...

    First Time Goat Herd

    Good morning all. I purchased what I was told were unregistered Nigerian Dwarf goats a while back, and they appeared to be in what I felt was pretty poor condition. I got them fed up, wormed, and clipped them this summer prior to introducing them to my new buck Baby Jack Mooney. He's loaded with...

    Good morning all! I'm so happy to join. I've wanted goats forever, and I've now got a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. We're pretty new to them, and we have a lot to learn. I did a ton of research prior to bringing them home, but I'm a firm believer that experience goes a long way! We also...
