absolutely beautiful.. especially what those little ones have been through! There is nothing more precious than kids doing that hippin skippin when they just don't quite got their balance.. they really do look so healthy.. could not even guess what happened with them and know that they were...

maybe it is just me, but I have had no problem telling customers no.. regardless of wanting a sale or not.. had a young guy come and wanted a young wether way to quickly.. raised my hackles and in fact the little guy was not even old enough to be taken away from momma or wethered.. he insisted...

it's mineral deficiency.. I battle this constantly with a couple of my goats.. especially one that is a bright red/orange color.. yes it looks like they have glasses on at a distance because hair is thinned/lightly colored.. in addition to copper being the main issue I have found supplementing...

It is hard for me to type with the tears.. may Hannah be at peace and her willing spirit live on through those kids.. if it is any testament to her.. they should be fighters with what they have been through.. and if it were me I know I would never be able to give them up! Heck they might have...

quads? wow! I am so jealous.. I only ever got triplets! was she exposed to two different bucks? I am betting that they are just a vast aray of coloring.. and her lines carry lots of color! It amazes me how different kids can come out.. last year I had triplets.. one was black with moonspots...

I am thinking label changed.. it has been a couple years since I saw it and I don't recall it looking like this.. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e076d7-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5&gas=cylence was getting ready to do an order and was like hmm?

I am looking and I am thinking the labeling or packaging may have changed.. has anyone purchased lately.. if so from where and what does it look like.. I just looked to get some but think it has changed.. says now for dairy and beef cattle pour on.. is this same cylence.. needing to get ready...

are you intent on pea graveling the whole area? what kind of space are you talking? truthfully if it is a small area right outside the shelter door I would suggest a mixing of some do it yourself cement.. and then leave rest of area natural. I am thinking of putting a cement slap directly out...

I am at a loss.. call it a brain fart.. I know there is a type of sensitivity that some animals have.. maybe like an allergy when they are a light skinned animal ( in this case white) and when in contact with alfalfa ( I belive) or certain types of grasses/hay they have an increase in pink...

is the real issue here about goats or is it the petty juvenile b.s.? last time I checked the forum was entitled backyard herds forum: raising cows, goats sheep, horses and more... if you're here for goats and information fine.- you should be welcomed in the herd. if you're hear to create havoc...

get on that pregnancy ASAP! and no amount of grain ration will contain enough copper for the goats.. you will end up with really scruffy coats, discolored hair/pigment issues, potential health related issues and a host of other mineral deficient issues. Goats need goat specific loose minerals...

I actually let my website go last year when that did not pan out.. anyway have not had the motivation to put a new one together since not much response.. sad thing is most people I have found either don't want to pay for a goat. and always say "well I am just looking for a pet" so that pretty...

Nigerian Dwarf

hard to lump all goats into one category.. I have 14 goats.. most of them are Nigies, couple of pygmy's and a mini nubian.. not one time have any of mine ever escaped.. part of the issue is well lets just say they are well fed and most are on the plump side and would probably have trouble...

I posted in another topic.. Sadly I lost Sugar Daddy a couple of weeks ago.. he seemed to go quickly and peacefully and again in my arms.

I am so enjoying the photos of all the new kids.. there is nothing I love more than newborn goat kids (all kinds!) and unfortunately due to market this is first year I was not able to breed/have kids because I still have all my kids left from last couple years! It makes me sad to not have my...

I was told recently here in my part of Ohio (NE) that corn prices went up again and that affected grain prices.. seems like it is always something.. kinda like how the crap in Libya jacked my gas prices from 3.05 at 7 am this morning to 3.29 at 11 am! wth???

not sure what to tell you.. I bought the X50 and found the X30 to be better.. seems to get hotter and burn better.. I unfortunately had the nigie/pygmy tip put on and would recommend against this.. created scrus as the area is so tiny and if you don't get heads burnt at precise time well.. I got...

at times I wonder if they only need the equivalent of a chalk outline of them laying down! :P mine have a fenced in area that used up most of one of those 330 foot rolls of goat fence from TSC.. not sure what square footage is because well lets just say their are hills and not exact straight...

hard to see in those pictures but could it be some severe mineral deficiency? what kind of loose minerals do you use? I would definately get them on some if not already, proceed with the parasite treatment and consider some copper bolus, BOSE and possibly some zinc supplements..
