I make a peppermint balm for her. I thought I might put it right up top where it's hard. I hope it's nothing serious, just a little blocked. It's not hot, so that's good. I think I'll take a nice warm rag out there too when I go massage her. She didn't like me touching her at first but when I...

Thanks for the input! I personally think they're getting enough. They communicate but they don't act like they're starving. Mom's udder is definitely being milked, lol. I did check her udder though and up top it's hard. It wasn't like that til after she had them. Is that normal? We did back off...

Remember Georgia? Well... She had twin boys! We thought she was getting bigger but thought it was bloat, I know, silly. But we really did b/c we would give her baking soda and her belly would go way down. Well, she kidded Sunday around noon. The crazy thing is WE MISSED IT. We just happened to...

Lol, I feel silly asking this but do any of you put any kind of diaper or similar item on your goats when you take them to the vet? Our girl went FOUR times while we were there, lol. The first time it was convenient, lol, bc they got some droppings for tests. But four times was embarrassing. I'd...

We probably won't milk her for a while after she kids, if she is pregnant.

We milk her once a day currently, which has increased her milk. The guy we got her from milked her sporadically. He didn't have any bucks with her but that doesn't mean she wasn't exposed before he got her, he only had her two weeks. I thought they "had" to be dried off for the colostrum to...

We were told when we got her May 26th she may be pregnant. The man we got her from had her for only two weeks, it was just too much for him to milk her and couldn't do it daily. She looked like she "could" be when we got her, but now she's getting bigger. Hubby isn't worried about how far along...

To clarify, as mentioned in the title, where goats "have" been. Our pigs are in their own pen. I was asking if we can build onto their current pen but the space we would use is where our goat has been. So, by adding onto the pig pen, we would take a little space away fron the goat pen. Does that...

So we have two pigs and a milk goat. We got the pigs first and had planned on adding two additional sections to their pen, to where we could rotate them. Problem is now, we have the goat and part of her pen is where we we're going to add to the pig pen. Could we still add on or would that not be...

No kids. If it's that then does it heal quickly?

So.... We were doing good, getting great looking milk from our Georgia and then hubby noticed some pink in the bottom of one of our quart jars. He had just poured it into a half gallon jar to finish filling it up and then noticed the pink. So now my question, is blood the only possibility or is...

Great! I make lip balms so I figured it wouldn't be too much different, just need a different container, lol. We did discover an area yesterday that seemed "congested", I think I may add a tad of peppermint. Good deal, thanks y'all!

I wasn't sure where to post this but I was wondering if anyone makes their own udder balm? Our new milk goat is really dry and I can't go buy any. I've seen a few blogs with recipes but thought I would double check here. :D =D I have coconut oil and evoo and essential oils but I've never used...

Thanks, just changed it. :D

I have been reading up on it and also have friends that have been teaching me. :thumbsup

If she's not pregnant we will probably get another goat. This is the first time we've ever had just one goat. Our kids have been keeping her company in the meantime, lol.
