    Mainly because they’ve been exploring too far, and I don’t want someone stealing them (already happened twice now) because they freeroam an open property

    Size on my 5 month old buck vs his adult mother, I think it’ll fit on her but not on him yet. What do you think?

    Are calf ear tags too big for a goats ear?

    I’m recently got custom ear tags for my goats, only problem is the only one that was big enough to put their name and my number was a calf ear tag. Though, I’ve never done ear tags and got it anyways. My parent thinks it might be too big, but my other parent whom has lived on farms and dealt...

    castrating my buckling. When? How? Pros/cons

    No, but would come out to give stuff to neuter him. How does it work? Will his testicles just fall off during banding? And do I need a specific band or can I use a rubber band or hair tie

    castrating my buckling. When? How? Pros/cons

    Been thinking of immediately neutering Bambi, but I don’t know when. Wouldn’t it be early ? He’s almost 3 weeks old but google says 4-6+ weeks. And how do I do this? I see talk about using a burdizzo but also talk about using bands? Should I ask someone to come out here instead or do it myself...

    Ik it’s been awhile but does anyone know how to ask your family about this? They’re anti killing animals and think they can be saved or rehomed but I don’t know how to ask such things

    What should I do with a very aggressive (and getting more aggressive) buck?

    Does anyone have any auction places suggestions for Northern California? I guess it depends where I am, but I’ve never done any of this before. Would I call an auction house and ask to take him? And say he’s aggressive?

    What should I do with a very aggressive (and getting more aggressive) buck?

    Thank you both, I hope his kid doesn’t get it as well. If anything I’m fine with getting rid of him even if it means for his meat because no animal should turn this fast under what? 4-5 months? Just because he was separated? I think it is something from his parents, like a dog. Just something...

    What should I do with a very aggressive (and getting more aggressive) buck?

    I was given my buck for free because he was aggressive and knocked over his owner. Since then he was okay but he slowly got more and more aggressive. I’ve only been rough when he’s going to ram me or someone else (grabbing his horns and holding/pushing him away) But since my doe had her baby...

    When should mama go out to pasture with baby?

    she’s had 4 births so far, I think only one was meant to happen. But this will be her last, considering it wasn’t even suppose to happen Haha But she’s being a real good mama, but also knows the dangerous between safe including humans and animals. Seems I’m the only one she was comfortable...

    Is my goat going to give birth? What is this? (Urgent, new goat owner)

    Agreed, I do not wish to breed her, I want to give her a lifetime of freedom and band the male asap. He’s big though, very big. So hopefully that won’t be too hard. Thank you, I’ll make sure Bambi does amazing. Speaking of which, here’s my beautiful boy all dry with his mama named Dutch! We...

    Is my goat going to give birth? What is this? (Urgent, new goat owner)

    Bad news. My little Neptune will not be with me this life, as she was stillborn. We buried her in a close and beautiful spot, and mama never saw her baby. My Bambi is doing well so far
