Anyone ever use this on goats? If so, lactating ones? How long did you throw out the milk?

Anyone else ever do this? Got a little doeling today. She's still being bottle fed, horns less than 2" I'd say but I'll measure. Anyone ever band their goats horns? Everything I'm reading online is from, "it's easy and quick" to "it's awful and Inhumane and will kill your goat", only focusing...

What do with the liquid stuff after you make cheese? The stuff you drain out? I heard its good for cooking..?

So, argh, our new doe Sofia doesn't want to be milked. She sticks her head as far back as possible until she's at her widest part and can't move it, she'll sit down on her front knees/elbows, and jump and kick if you touch her udder. If she cooperates, her milk doesn't come out! Takes forever...

So our new goat, Flora, has diarrhea. I know you're supposed to give liquids, but I'm fairly sure it's due to stress of a new home and handling (she's not used to humans). And I'm afraid forcing liquids down will only make it worse. To make it worse, she's pregnant. So I'm concerned about the...

I had one before, but then I abandoned this forum for a bit. However, I'm back, and I'm ready to meet all of y'all, since it seems like a lot of my old friends left, heh. Anyways, where to begin... Well, Ive had chickens since I was 6-7 years old. I got my first goats in 2013, 2 Nigerian...

5 year old lamancha doe, 3 births, twins each time. No issues with birthing. Gives about a gallon a day. Purebred. Want her for showmanship, as well as milk. However, she said she's prone to mastitis when milked improperly (ie inexperienced). So she puts this mint bag balm (basically what it...

So I own 2 Rex crosses & 2 Cali crosses. The 2 Cali's are 11 -12 weeks, the Rexes 2 years. Now, why does our buck, whose 12 weeks,need to be 6-7 months old to breed my Rexes? I don't think his 'family jewels' have dropped yet, so obviously he's physically incapable to breed right now, but why...

Like, if you have extra steers do they make good beef? I heard its very lean and good.

LOL I've never seen something so true!!

OK, wasn't sure where to put this, so here it goes! How old does a goat need to be before you can tell how good their conformation is? We have a little bottle baby buckling (mom rejected), and I was wanting to keep him as a breeding buck and sell him at fair. His mothers udder isn't the best...

OK so I've been wanting to know this FOREVER Why do BUCKS have beards typically, but not wethers? And why do some breeds more of the does have beards then others, and why do some does / wethers randomly have beards?? It confuses me, because if a buck has a beard, a wether should. It...
