He actually is a buck that I am trying to sell because I have his father and his mother. So I am selling him and his sisters. His is a nice black and white spotted Nubian that if I can't get rid of I will breed to a few does in the fall that is why I didn't band him.
I am weaning 8 babies total I only have one buck in the group I was wondering if it is ok to wean him by himself in his own area with no companion or does he really need someone in there with him?
I am not sure if this is where this topic belong but here I go. The shelter that our pigs stay in is at a slant so when it rains it holds water really bad and of course they have made huge holes in there that hold water. What is the best thing to use to soak up the water and keep it well...
I am looking for a few does to buy in or near Larue County, Kentucky. I may be interested in a buck depending on what it was. If there is any one from this area that has anything available please let me know. Thank you.
She spent the first night with the doe so she got her colostrum and I fed her more colostrum by bottle yesterday morning and milk re-placer since and considering her weakness she is trying to suck on the bottle. I try to feed about every 2-3 hours and she will swallow about 10 times real good. I...
I know he looks just like a little Holstein calf. I thought the funny thing was he came out of the spotted red and white and a solid red so I never expected black and white.
I have bottle fed babies before and it seems like after the the first day or two you know they are walking around peeing and pooing on everything. She is peeing and pooing on nothing but herself cause she NEVER gets up unless I get her up. And how warm does she really need to be I keep trying to...
Well none of these three had their teeth and it doesn't worry me so much as with her being so much smaller. Is there any thing I can give her extra to help with that?
No she didn't have any antibiotics during pregnancy. There aren't actually any teeth it's all looks like gums I can feel them like poking up through the gums. I dont know. She is not doing well I mean she is still alive but not acting like a normal kid at 48 hours old. Any tips for if she is a...
I know, I didn't notice the milk till I took the picture......lol. I don't know they just look really funny they are like blood red. I am not sure if it doesn't really show in the pic or not. Like I said all the babies could have been like that and I didn't notice but this one is eating and...
We have had nearly 30 kids born on our farm in the last 4 months and I have never noticed this on another baby. Maybe because I am bottle feeding this I don't know but all your help would be appreciated.
I just wanted to show everyone a few of the babies we had born over the weekend. Thanks for taking a look.
This doe had her little buckling Friday morning.
The next three are a set of LaMancha triplets born Sunday morning 2 bucklings and a little doe.
This is a Nubian doeling and a...
Yes she is doing great. And the vet was very helpful and informative. We hated to lose the babies but she was much more important and we had other babies born this morning. So we are excited to make it out of this situation as well as we have.
