Will goats eat Japanese Stiltgrass if this is all that is available for them to eat?

Dang. No one has ever put goats on Japanese Stiltgrass?

Folks, I am reading some google reviews that goats will eat this stuff and many say they will not. I rent mine out to clear brush and the folks which recently contacted me have ONLY "Japanese stiltgrass or Microstegium" and want it cleared. I just saw it and that is all it is. Now having...

Not sure on the EPG counts but on FAMACHA, they would have been good this go round...4 to 5. I had wormed them all 10 days earlier and then just 2 days ago and we have had little rain in the last few days. I'm with you though, it looks like the safe play is to wait until after Labor Day and...

Yep, you are on it and so is your farmer friend. I've already started putting protein blocks out free choice and supplementing some Noble Goat just to boost up the does. I did my 2nd "worm" (the ten day rule) 2 days ago just to catch all those eggs and throw them off in the pasture. I will...

Awesome, thank you so much!!! This is exactly what we are looking for. I called too late today but I will speak with someone tomorrow and get the tubs ordered and shipped this way! Thanks again!

Guys, I just learned today that Purina has discontinued their goat tubs that were about 100 pounds. Like cattle minerals, they would cook the mineral and you just put them out in the pasture. I'm tired of mine slinging the loose mineral all over the pasture. Are there any distributors that...

Thank you sooooooo much!!! You are absolutely right, amazing how NC is. We're in sandy, non-selenium land down here, it's unreal. A little further away where you guys are is the greatest land ever! Thank you again for the recommendation. Going to give them a call ASAP!

Guys, I feed supplement my goats with the selenium mineral blocks and this time of year, I start to give them a little bit of feed (Noble Goat, meat goat (not dairy)) as well to boost their copper and mineral intake a little to get them ready to breed. The feed store supply locally used to...

I see what you are saying. Some of mine was precaution but I do know they need to get their immune systems back up. I just recently started supplementing a little bit of feed in order to strengthen them some before breeding. Oct. 1st is a good idea but that could throw off my Spring a little...

By September 1st I plan on putting several of them back in with my buck............and he is ready for them, let me tell you what. Being that I should hit them again with that wormer on August 25th...........is Sept 1st too early to put them back in with the buck??? That is probably the more...

And if you are a female and that special time of the month is what you are going through, watch out, they sense that and you DO NOT want to be around them. To them, you are fair game.........just be careful.

Thank you! I went a little more aggressive than that with a few last night, that's why I asked. NC has had flooding rain all summer, parasites are awful this year. I usually don't even have to worm!

Guys, I'm using Ivermectin cattle oral drench for my goats. The dosage is 1ml per 22lb for cattle. What is the equivalent for goats on that? Wasn't on there and I know there are various opinions on this. Thanks in advance. You guys are always so awesome! Rancher11

uh-oh. Hopefully he is already sterile. I know a man who got a visectomy and got his wife pregnant 3 months later. Sometimes it does take a while.

Goats always waste hay, unless you have a hay rack and they still figure out how to waste it. That is just how it is. They just like playing in it more than eating it a lot of times!

It will be a permanent catch pen for sure. I have 21 does that are all pregnant and due for January 31-February 7th. Just need the catch pen to "tag" the babies and what not, although I may be able to walk right up to them and tag them.

Guys, I have 21 pregnant does and will have to start tagging babies come February. Just trying to get out in front of all this. How big should I build a catch pen and what all can I buy that would make it cost efficient? Thanks.

"they" are just some of the folks I've spoken with while trying to figure out what or whom to get a donkey from. So I guess other owners of donkeys are "they." I honestly don't know a lot about them. It can work either way though, a 24 inch jack could have bred a 48 inch standard Jenny as...
