    Herdsire Qualifications - DNA testing

    Those are good points. One thing I see a LOT is bucks advertised as being from “CH lines, show lines, great milking lines” etc. because their sire’s grandam’s was a nice animal. ;) Especially coming from people who don’t participate in any ADGA programs, sometimes not even milking their...

    Udders- Good/Bad/Ugly/Improved UPDATED! 3/12/18

    Here is one of my good-ish udders (IMO). I like pretty much everything about it except for a major lack of capacity. Nice height, attachment, teat placement, orfices, texture, and medial, just way too small for a Saanen. However, if I could get this exact udder on one of my Nigerians I would be...

    Herdsire Qualifications - DNA testing

    This was a hot topic a little while back with the ADGA goat world a little while back, but I’m wondering what everyone’s thoughts on mandatory DNA testing for all bucks is? Personally, I wouldn’t mind it as I’m already planning on DNA’ing all my bucks. I think the extra registration cost would...

    One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

    I sold a goat once only to find out a couple weeks later she had gone missing the week before. I put up missing ads everywhere and found her the next day, brought her back home and returned her to her owners when they reinforced fencing.

    One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

    I don’t know a way, but I feel like I would remember if I saw a dam/daughter both with a 92 LA score. I also kinda think if someone else had that, it would be pretty publicized... ETA: you could maybe ask on a couple of the popular goat FB groups: Nigerian Dwarf Goat- Dairy Side & Dairy Goat...

    Is this a thing?

    We have carpet laying in our pole barn to prevent erosion and one year I set up a stall in there for our goats. It was impossible to clean and smelled terrible. I wouldn’t do it.

    One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

    That is just awesome. It’s incredible that you have a dam/daughter who both appraised a 92! :ep I may be mistaken, but I’m not aware of another Nigerian dam/daughter pair who have both done that! Congratulations!

    Dazzle, FF, 13 days fresh, 11 hr fill. Yes, I know her rear legs are too wide apart, but that’s all I managed to get before she ran off. ;)

    Lil' Joe.....

    I’m so sorry about Lil’ Joe. He couldn’t have had a better home and reached his offspring’s potential without you. This is the first time I’ve seen Paris I think. She is :love! I love her deep body.

    Urgent! ND doe in labor too early?!?

    When I recently (1.5 weeks ago) had a doe with a similar kissing issue (FF doe with 1 dead kid, 2 live ones), she was too weak to stand and nurse her kids at first so I bottle fed them for the first day. I never moved them out of sight of their dam and by the afternoon of the second day the kids...

    Urgent! ND doe in labor too early?!?

    I’m not a kidding expert, but the only time one of my foes had red discharge prior to kidding was when she had a dead kid blocking the birth canal. I’d keep a close eye on her.
