goats

Hello! I currently have two pet katahdin ewes who were born in February. There is a 13 week old doe goat for sale and I was wondering if they would bond if I got her? The sheep are easygoing, curious and friendly and I've had goats before that have bonded with other species (my childhood goat...

Hello all! I’m new here and ready to learn about goats. Specifically Nigerian Dwarf Goats. I’m hoping to get 2-3 wethers in the fall or spring. I would do it tomorrow but it’s going to take some time to get everything built. We don’t have a ton of land- just 2 acres and some of it is woods. I...

I have a mini Alpine buckling, who is about two months old. I have kept him separate from my does so that he doesn't breed them, because I have heard that bucks can breed at 6 weeks of age. Last night he somehow got out of his cage, and in with 2 of my Nigerian Dwarf 1 year old does. I did not...

Hi! I am hoping to start a small herd of dairy goats, and i have a few questions. 1. From everything that i have read, i have decided that Nigerian Dwarf goats would best fit my situation. Does anyone have any experience with these? does their milk taste good? How much milk will they give? 2...

Hi all! Long time page lurker, first time member/poster! 😂 Thoughts on this 9 month old buckling? His testicles are almost non-existent. I reached out to the breeder for help, as this is my first time breeding, and shared a picture of one of hers about the same age. My guy doesn’t even...

My goats are in the barn for the winter, and today they made a mess of their stall, they must have gotten really bored, they started tearing apart the fencing between their stall on another one of my does. When I went to milk this evening, one of my does face is scratched up, one of her eyes is...

My billy goat just started loosing hair on his nose one day...it was the area between his eyes and nose, now, some hair is growing back, but the main area between his nose and eyes still has no hair. My mom said that he is probably scratching his nose, because there is something itching it. I...

Hi All, I have two 4 month Nigerian goat bucklings that I banded about 4 days ago. All was going well, balls were starting to shrink, until today they both started smelling horrible! Like death. I checked the bands and everything looks normal. No swelling, oozing or redness. I did not see any...
