Don't know what your fencing is like but my pygmies are notorious for sticking their heads through and getting stuck cuz the grass/weeds are always greener on the other side. Might wanna consider some dummy bars on those with the horns so large. Would hate for you to come home after a long day...
Saturday I acquired two Boer Babies that a gentleman did not want. He purchased the momma and the babies were sent home with me. I'm feeding 4oz every 4 hrs or so but they act like their starving. I've never owned large breed goats so I could really use some advice if anyone wants to offer...
The first thing I do with new bottle calves when bringing them home is buy some re-sorb electrolyte packets and give that to them the 1st and sometimes second day of feeding and them I go 1/2 and 1/2 with the packets and formula. This helps with scours and shipping stress and adjustment to the...
DH was ear tagging babies and momma cow got him good. He of course won't go to the doc and we are now 1 week post kick. I've been having him use compression leggins at night that air up and deflate. The bruising has extended down to the bottom of his foot, which I read is normal. The only...
I let momma rabbit tell me when she's ready to get rid of them. They do a pretty good job of letting me know when it's time for them to find their own living arrangements. Usually 6+ weeks or so. I also will be selling nonthrowaway quality easter bunnies this year but I only have 4. Good...
Like what it takes to become a member? Can anyone join even if you don't have any registered minis? Can you get your minis registered if they meet their guidelines? Please help educate me. :bow
Mine loooovvveee bread. I don't give but a slice to each one and usually stuff like whole wheat, 12 grain, those kinds. We get the bread for free so makes for a good treat for my chickens and such.
There are is a basic program: Goat Breeders Notebook for only $39. There's also the business goat one which runs $97. http://www.goatsoftware.com/ There's a free demo that you can try before you decide to buy.
I received a copy of the "free" chicken trackin program that was offered to a few (I think they offered up 15 copies) and I LOVE IT and have since suggested it to numerous people.
You have to start somewhere with ANY new product, whether offering it at "Sale" price or at a discounted price...
I just asked this same question on another forum and was told that Ivomec PLUS was NOT safe to give to pregnant goats. Others said it could cause fetal absorption and/or brain damage.
I am soooo confused on this worming thing. I've searched and read for three days and I'm still confused. I...
We also came home with a black angus bull calf yesterday :) Congratulations on your purchase.
We choose to go with purina calf formula, as it is medicated for scours. I started off with a bottle of resorb, which is just an electolyte solution to give him alittle boost from traveling and such...
I pen breed my 3 does for 45 days, give or take a few of them. Since removing the buck about 30 days ago my once docile, lowest on the goat pole has turned into a royal pain in the others behinds. The other two does were purchased together and one has always been the head of the small herd so...
