    4Her needs goat in N Central Florida

    It would depend on whether she wants to show in meat or dairy. Meat goats are Boer, Kiko and Pygmy. Dairy are Nubian, Lamacha, Alpine, Sannan, Togenburg, (I left a few off). Meat goats do not have to be registered to show in the meat classes, but she would stand a better chance if they were...

    can i get a boer buck to come to me and not be skittish?

    Animal crackers, goats love them. Give him one each day in his feed, then offer him one from your hand. Both of our blubbering idiots are crazy about animal crackers.

They are just 1 week old in this picture taken yesterday. I will get them when they are 4 months old. I am leaving them with the mom...

    Are these Great Pyrs?

    Judging from what you said about them being pups, from the size of them and the black nose and the hair, they look like Pyr crosses to me. I have no clue as to the cross though, as their muzzle is on the narrow side and they do not have the dark Cleopatra markings around their eyes that full...

    My friend raises dual purpose Nubian dairy goats. She breeds her does to a Boer buck. Sells the kids for meat and has plenty of milk for herself. To me that is what is ment by dual purpose dairy goats.

    Oak leaves and goats

    We cut some oak trees for our neighbor, loaded the brush on our trailer and hauled it to the middle of our field, the goats ran behind the trailer like DH had ice-cream on it. They were munching on leaves as he was pulling the brush off. Now the limbs are stripped bare. Every morning after the...

    why?

    I agree with the above. Unless you have a large herd or bucks are hard to find in your area I would not recommend keeping one for just one or two does.

    how do i know if my goat is pregnant?

    If she was bred not long ago and you know the date she was bred, count 18 days from then. If she is not bred then she will come back into heat 18 to 21 days from that date.

    Goats and water buckets

    I can't answer the question, but I guess it it like my dogs that will stick their noses up the drain pipe that drains the water from the down spout off the roof and drink that nasty water when I keep at the barn a 4 gallon bucket with fresh water. Who knows LOL Nancy

    What to do with a goat with a broken leg?

    Keep a close eye on the wrap that it is not too tight, as it can swell and cut off circulation.

    What do you do when you can't think of a herd name?

    Our farm name got its name cause DH said one day about our pond. "That is a lazy pond, it just sets there and does not move". When we had to come up with a herd registration we chose ANLPF, which stands for Al and Nancy's Lazy Pond Farm. Think about something on your farm, a creek, tree, rock...
