I wanted to share a picture of my new girl,Sunshine.It has been 3 weeks today since I brought her home.I did another fecal and got a 11-count on the barberpole,lots better than the first which was about 70+.I wormed her again with Ivemec again after the second fecal.I have her on a diet of...

Thank You!

Ok,I compared my pics side by side with the ones at the fias site and I could tell right away they were a perfect match.My poor little goat.How did I end up taking in such a sick goat?I have said no to so many.How did I manage to probably get the sickest one I could find?I am very blessed that...

Thanks so much.I think.I'm glad at least to know what I'm dealing with.I have read alittle about barberpole worms.Not enough for sure,I will be reading more.From what I remember they require aggressive treatments.You folks are gonna have to tell me want I gotta do and what to treat with. As...

I did a fecal test on my new saanen rescue,Sunshine.I did find eggs of some kind.Looks like either different stages or different types.I don't have enough experience to know.I hope someone or someones can help me ID them so I know what to treat her with more closely.I also see what I beleive is...

Thanks so much for the reply.I have the di-methox,but no valbazene or cydectin.I have ivemec pour-on and injectable. I have the B-complex and oral bo-se I have probiotics. I also have the goat minerals. I am feeding her high quailty grass hay with plenty of clean fresh water.I have baking...

First let me say I have owned goats on and off for the past 25 years.When we first married 25 years ago we kept a small herd of mixed brush goats on about 10 acres.We had up to about 20 at any one time.I haven't keep a herd in about 15 years.I have had various pet goats since,but usually just...

Just thought I would share.I found and bought a bottle baby buckling.He is a nubian/boer cross.He is super cute.Squirt is still trying to figure out why there a goat following her around.She is turning 7 weeks old and he is 3 weeks old.I don't know if I will keep him for a buck or wether...

I have a 6 week old doeling,mixed breed,named Squirt.I have posted about her before. I noticed she got strangled on her bottle yesterday.I didn't think much about it at first.I noticed this morning her bottle nipple hole has got really bigger.Shes' a really good eater and just tears into her...

Thanks,everyone for the help ang tips and links.We are going to get them Sunday.My turkeys are 2 year old heritage bronzes.I usually get $100 for a trio.$40 for a laying hen.$3 for a fertile hatching egg.It figures out fairly close but I do think the goats are probably worth alittle more.Or at...

I agree with the other posts,too.I would add...make sure the holes you dig for the wood posts are big enough so you have at least 4-5 inches on each side for the cement.For example...a 4 inch post would need a hole about 12 inches across.Woven or net wire is made to be stretched.Don't try to...

She is sooooo pretty.I just love that black and white and long hair.You all have got me wanting at least one goat of every kind there is.Not to mention I want one of every color too.How many "pet" goats until they start calling me "the goat lady"?:rolleyes:

I posted about trading turkeys for goats.6 hens and 2 toms for a doe and a buck.I got pictures of the papers today.It is a 300 mile round trip to get these youngens but I just can't pass up this deal.We're gonna try to go get them Sunday.The doe was disbudded but the buck was not.Doesn't matter...

Thanks,everyone.I am leaning towards the nubians.I know they are too old to be Squirts' buddy right now but I can still get a baby for her when I find one.I did get pictures from the fellow awhile ago and I will try to get them posted soon.I just am thinking this is too good a deal to pass on.I...

I know you all have probably seen the pics of my bottle baby girl,Squirt.Well,I'm trying to find one or two more goats to hang out with her,later on as she gets older.Anyway I have 14 turkeys and decided I would trade turkeys for goats.I ran a CL ad last night and have gotten two offers today.I...

I am loving the new baby pics.Need to see more.:D I thought I would share some pics of my bottle baby girl,Squirt.Thanks to the great advice here I now know how to take care of her and she is thriving.It's very hard to get a picture of her being still.She's not good at being still.She can clear...

Those are some very pretty babies.I do love the spots and the long ears.I can't wait to get my own.We used to have several like that about 20 years ago.My favorite buck was black with red spots and I did get one doe like him before selling out.I sure wish I had kept that herd going to this day.I...
