Looking for folks that actually use herbal wormers and what is success rate? Also if you have tried different types what have you found to be most successful? Have not fully committed to the switch.. I tried some from Hoeggers a long time ago and didn't have a good time getting it into the...

That little buck could be snorting for a whole 'nother reason!!! :drool

No horns for me! My goats are constantly sticking heads through gates and the rough housing that goes on is just to dangerous for horns.. I have polled lines in my herd and love it love it love it!!

My rule of thumb.. when in doubt cut it down! I tend to not trust anything that looks "pretty" or has berries or fruit.. with the exception of wild black berries...

ummm he looks like a wether to me.. with that last picture of him standing I cannot believe his man goods would be hidden and or that small.. plus he doesn't appear to be growing out the hair in areas that bucks get shaggy in even at a younger age.. i.e. the shagginess down back and...

Yes I would say it is granulated.. like fine cat litter.. more than sand.. but I still find it dusty.. or at least contributing to dust..

I have used both sweet pdz and stall dri.. in my opinion they add to the already dustiness that occurs from my dirt floor and pine shavings.. I only sprinkle a little bit over very saturated /damp areas.. find it too dusty!

Mom will eventually get tired of the large kid and in some cases larger than she is kid and kick her off.. you may want to try some homeopathic methods and pull the grain to aid in mom drying up.. I had a kid that nursed for the better part of a year.. well she was weaned and was eating...

Glad to hear she pulled through.. I battled awhile back on one and ended up losing her despite many similar measures you discussed.. My doe just became so weak no matter what I was supplementing that she finally gave up before I had to make that terrible decision. Despite losing her it was a...

hard to see in picture but I have natural polled in my herd and have had several kids over the years that are polled and from my experience there is the large round swirl on head and then what I consider a nike swoop of thinner hair where the horn buds would be if they were horned. my buck kids...

hay year round.. don't have pasture per say.. pen with does has some edible grass and browse along fence (multiflora rose/blackberry) until it is eaten down by mid summer.. have always fed hay year round and buck pen is now dirt only.. they ate every stitch of grass years ago and now have a...

I have miniature goats and each gets on average of an average sized flake of hay per day... it seems to be working for me.. good condition and minimal waste. I would tweak the amount you feed until you find what works that way there is minimal waste.. I know when I used to stuff my hay bags and...

4 BUCKS... some pot shots once in awhile that make me cringe.. but all get along fine!

was wondering how everyone deals with this.. it seems that I am over taken by it at this time.. I understand the dirt floors and my choice of bedding (rough pine shavings) contribute but geesh.. it is horrible!! no matter how much I de-dust web it is back!!! I wish I could just pick the barn up...

I had success with joint/naval ill in a very young kid... the little guy grew up and is the picture of health and is now a beautiful/handsome and very studdly 5 year old buck! anyway my little guys cord was immediately dipped at birth but apparently he caught something in the cord.. I noticed...

the one an only time I used dental floss (unflavored kind) I had a kid come down with naval ill... recovered thankfully but I have just let cords break naturally.. dip in iodine asap and let mom keep kid cleaned up.. never had one bleed.. and if they are too long after a dip I nip it down with...

just want to pipe in on those small looking bales of alfalfa at TSC.. I picked one up before I lost my doe a couple weeks ago.. and well let me tell you just how compacted they are.. now granted 14.99 is steep, however, there is a ton of alfalfa in there.. and boyeeeee.. not one lick of it has...

Poor little girl.. I am gonna miss you. Know now that you are hip skippin through lush green fields of clover with Tink and Pyggy... they will take care of you! I lost my little girl this morning around 5:45 am. She had been battling and sruggling so hard for well over a month now.. she has...

so cute.. would make great Christmas cards!! also thinking that would be an awesome gift from Santa!!! love it!!! Merry Christmas

it really is difficult to 'know" what to do when instinct says one thing, a vet says one thing and folks say something else... ughhhhh.. she was wormed with ivomec orally X 3 at 10 day intervals just prior to the levasole dose.. it seems like the levasole she has gotten weaker and whiter (more...
