    "TO ALL NEWBIE GOAT OWNERS GIVING IM SHOTS"

    HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!Great photo Kevin, good luck. 11 mls is alot to be placing in one muscle at one time. Am I wrong? Opinions anyone? And to Tarann...not unusual to feel squeamish about giving shots to your own animals... I've been shooting animals for 15 years (but not goats) and I can't...

    My Frist Doe is prego

    I'm very excited for you! Last week my pygmy gal gave birth for the first time and my first goat birthing experience with my OWN goat. Before I bought my property and moved here I had to board my goats, so I saw the other goats at the GoatieInn give birth, but it's SO different when it's your...

    Goat size/gestation

    Do the larger breeds of goats have a longer gestational time than smaller breeds? I'm anxiously awaiting the birth of a Pygmy goat and would like to hear from someone about how many days for a Pygmy. Mine is at 138 days. Just curious.

    Hartz flea an tick shampoo killed Jerry!!

    I am so sorry about the death of your dog. That is heartbreaking. I've worked for Animal Emergency for 15 years and cannot begin to count the number of cats and dogs that have serious reactions to Hartz flea products. Why Hartz? I don't know. Again, so sorry for your loss.

    Should I feel guilty?.Hubbys been outside....

    From what I've heard, it's not just Canadian men who are chainsaw happy! Apparently Texans have issues with chainsaw massacres. I'm lucky it was just a pine tree. And I also would be interested to know if jhm47 does toilets, let's ask him..... (P.S. No slam against Texas, just a joke, love...

    Should I feel guilty?.Hubbys been outside....

    I'm still trembling from the chainsaw buzzing thing. Men and chainsaws... I gave permission once to a man who asked if he could trim under the pine tree to make it easier to mow under. I came home from work to find my 60year old pine trimmed as high as my highest ladder. It looks like an...

    Sorry.......Crown Royal.......I actually would like to know the answer as to why it's bad for them. Even if it's not medicated feed? What if it's not chicken crumbles but just chicken scratch?

    Goat ate chicken food!! Help!

    It turns the males into serial killers and flips the females into instant menopause. It also makes them dance.

    Goat wormer?

    I saw hookworm eggs in my goats feces under the microscope. Has anyone else's goats experienced this? I understand that Fenbendazole is used to treat this. Any helpful words of wisdom?
