Here she is. Im posting this from my phone.. :lol:

Some of you guys get onto me sometimes for doing stuff without running batteries of tests first, just because doing x,y, or z seems right in my head... I thought y'all might enjoy this.. I called my vet's office yesterday looking for a few vials of this and that, and I also mentioned that I...

So, I saw a pretty comprehensive medicine cabinet list for goats on another forum and realized I had all but like three items on it -- and still was like "but what about..." So then I started thinking of the stuff I have beyond what was on the list... It's a bit ridiculous at this point...

Ok, so I'm sick as a dog right now. Sick as I've been in a long time. Inhaled copious quantities of powdery fine clay dust all weekend, which irritated my sinuses and lungs, so I started doing the post-nasal-drip thing and coughing a lot...primed for infection. Got one. A pretty good one...

Rented a trencher for the weekend. Put 1.1 hours on the machine, followed by 1.5 DAYS on me...standing at the bottom of a sometimes-very-shallow trench with a rock pick, sledge hammer, spudbar, and trenching shovel, breathing in copious amounts of powder-fine clay dust. What a gigantic PITA...

Not sure this goes in the "Diseases-Goats" forum, but I dunno where else to put it. My big boer doe -- the herd queen -- has had a drastic change in personality lately. A day or two after we opened up new pasture, we took the goats for a "tour" and noticed she'd gotten left behind at some...

Goat quiz. When you finish, you'll see a button at the bottom for "New Quiz"...click the button and it'll generate a whole new quiz for ya. :weee I've yet to get 10/10...mostly keep getting the show stuff wrong. Like, how am I to know the acceptable length of a scrotal split according to...

We opened up some new grazing/browsing area to the goats.. Basically, the whole farm. :gig We'd had a couple of crappy commercial does back there, while the rest of our goats were on just a couple acres in the barnyard.. Hadn't been a problem in the past, but...well...more goats, more...

ZOOM ZOOM. My favorite part: Oh...well...of course! :lau :gig

So, I have a few questions... 1) The lady who runs the place...Molly So...who is Molly Nolte...and/or...who was Molly Bunton and/or Molly Smith-Bunton? 2) Does Molly actually even have goats anymore? I dug around until I found a for-sale page, which hadn't been updated since like '06 or...

The giant tree claimed it's first life.. Buck kid.. Found the teeniest little crack, got his back leg hung, freaked, tried to jump, and ended up shattering the bone between his hock and stifle. There was no fixing it.. I'm fairly certain he also destroyed a big vein/artery and -- given that...

Just got an email. Short on time right now, but the email was one that.....well, I'm not sure if I'm 'sposed to be privy to it or not, but it basically says FARAD lists a >4mo meat withdrawal following the use of Cyd. Inj. The SCSRPC is no longer recommending cydectin to be injected. What I...

I dunno about you, but to me...this is hilarious. :lau It's ok, goat...I didn't understand him either. :P (Almost 600,000 hits...maybe I DO need a reality show! :gig )

FAIL. :gig :lau :gig :lau

So, I remember reading once that cattle producers were really just grass farmers. Made a lot of sense to me. At some point after buying goats and watching them graze...which is stupid, really...it occurred to me that maybe goat producers shouldn't be grass farmers, but 'weed farmers' for lack...

Checked eyelids on some 6-7wk old kids night before last, and one was getting fairly pale. Light pink, I guess.. He acted fine, though, and I thought to myself......he needs dewormed tomorrow night. So, last night (after working all day, then bushhogging till dark, etc) I made my way to the...

So, you guys know I'm a big fan of hi-tensile electric fence. Put ours up several years ago and haven't had a moment's trouble out of it...until just the other day. We had a group of four kids -- always the same four -- who continually just walked right through it to graze the good stuff on...

Buddy of mine calls and said a lady had called him with a suspected case of urinary calculi in a 7mo Boer wether. He and I had talked UC a time or two, so he pretty much deferred it to me. So, I call the lady.. Says her buck's just standing off to himself, depressed, and has a weird...

Our last doe kidded Sunday (7.4.10). She's the one I've really been waiting for...81% Boer doe crossed to PB American Nubian. I reallyreallyreally wanted doelings and the mama looked to be packing triplets.. HUGE SINGLETON BUCKLING. :/ Didn't get him on the scale, but he was in the 10lb...
