Sorry Jerseys are the worst for attitude when left as bulls.... We just took one to the big house. We had to keep him in a metal corral cause he tore EVERYTHING up with his horns.... One thing you DONT DO is pet them on the head. I worked at a dairy and we had a show bull and he got mean cause...
Trail cats??? We went riding this after noon and went through the woods away from the house and out silly kitten followed us WAY far from the house and never would have found it's way back home. So I made my boy get off and pick Garfunkle up and hand him to me. He stayed tucked in my hoodie the...
Yeah if she is white she needs blood. About the only thing that will help her and it should be done soon. I have a Boer cross that used to have his blood taken 3 or so times a year for transfusions when I worked a vet clinic. Goats would come in unable to walk and very bad... Some walked out...
Yeah I get those too that want to get and leave... but then again I have several that have drove up to 100 miles 1 way to come get a baby. They did stay awhile and talk but I understood why they needed to leave.

I have 2 boys left to sell. Will be ready to go in another couple of weeks. Still nursing on doe but are eating grain good. Parents can be seen on my website www.sweetacresminiatures.com Can see both parents! Does are Pygmy and buck is Reg Nigerian Dwarf.
I have people come and buy my pygmys and ND and I find it strange when they DON"T ask me questions.. I'm always ready to show off their parents and such. One lady was all over the goats! Which was fine with me. I want to make sure they feel comfortable buying from me and know everything they...
I have a drop cord and light in my barn and milk by it. Hard to milk in the dark.... water hoses... EVERYWHERE around here. I soak corn for the pigs and keep it in the barn. I do well with no electric and water in my barn... always ways to get it there. I try not to have babies in the winter so...
I worked at a dairy for 8 years and we had cows like that. We just waited for the cow to calve or we induced. I remember one cow that had such a bad udder we induced so we could milk her. We sold her though not too long after. I would fill her up with antibiotics and pain killers as much as I...
Oh I had an aggressive Pygmy. He tore my mirror of my truck once... course he had horns which I hate I got him down and cut half his huge horns off but he would still use them every chance he got... He went bye bye. This ND buck is NOT people friendly so he runs from you if he thinks you are...
I would like to get some ND does. The reason I got a buck was to get me some color in the babies. The ND are so much more colorful and that's what people around here like. My first cross babies sold really well. Only have those 2 bucks left.

Well They for sure do NOT look prego in those pics to be due in a month or 2..... Ok my list of questions...
Are they in milk or where they milking and now dry? Goats will be on the thin side while lactating.
Have they been dewormed? They may need to be if they haven't been...
If not ever...
