Yes this is hard. I don't want to lose my little Julie or risk her health. My vet knows goats so I'll consult with him tomorrow but right now I'm leaning toward termination. How soon could she be rebred after ending this pregnancy?:(

I left a message with the buck's owner so she can give a me a good idea of his exact size. I don't want to abort but I sure don't want to lose my doe either. Since this was a November breeding is it still possible to end the pregnancy safely? I've heard of mature nigerian does delivering...

This was an accidental breeding. My nigerian doe escaped and ended up with the neighbor's nubian buck. It looks like she was bred and will be due in April. I'm thinking Julie will be able deliver these babies since she always has easy births and is about 65 lbs herself. Anyone have...

Kim, I could do a rabbit butchering demo with the rabbit wringer, if you think anyone would be interested. Will be quite experenced with the process by September:P.

I would love to help out if its on a Saturday. I was at Roll Farms yesterday and only live 20 minutes away. Either way, you can count on me being there...if its on a Saturday:D. How fun to meet everyone!

Great idea...thanx:)!

I have an NZ/Cali cross pair.

I will do this too. I just wanted to be able to mix them up in different ways. Would the NZ/ Cali/ FW offspring produce well if bred to each other?

Wow, glad to hear that!

Why did the three survivors need to go to a foster mom, was the HL doe unable to care for them?

I'd like to get a pair of Florida Whites to cross and mix and match with my NZ/ Californian pair. I would let the FW doe have a couple of purebred litters, to make sure she is fully mature, before crossing her with my big buck. Has anyone done this with success before? Is it reasonably safe...

Thanx elevan. We live in Indiana so I guess sand is out :D

My DH said he could build a moveable run in shed so we won't have to enclose the trees. Sounds good to me.:)

We are getting ready to build a new fence for our dwarf goats. I want to use strip grazing to rotate my pasture ( about 1/4 acre). In order for the goats to have shade during the day, I plan to enclose 3 very old apple trees in the layout. Would this be harmful to the trees or to the goats...

I had heard you can use sand for chickens and goat stalls. How do you clean it? I can see a rake getting the chicken dropping in the coop, but how do you get the nanny berries out of it (I have Nigerians if that matters)? Do you have to add any bedding on top of it or just use it as is? How...

Yes...the babies were born last Friday. Twin bucklings. Didn't want to admit it til i got the picture thing figured out (very busy here lately). Thought I'd be run off the forum if I told everyone I had babies but didn't provide pics:lol: What's the dosage per pound for the mom and babies...

I think we are dealing with mites. My doe has white itchy scabby places on her chest, neck, and over her withers. Maybe on her back too. I gave her oral ivermec a few days before her kids were born but she doesn't seem any better and the kids seem to be acting itchy too. Would it be harmful...

I've heard putting apple cider vinegar in a does water will increase the instance of females since it increases the acidity of the womb. It seems if it were that easy, everyone would be pouring ACV all over the place...but I'm going to try it next year! It helps keep the water clean...so if...

I love doeling number one!:hugs

Ok...thanx!
