I got this little girl about 2 weeks ago and the people did not know much about her because she was bought for thier daughter at Christmas by her grandfather. THey had been keeping her in a dog kennel all by herself. She seemed very health good eye color and all but her hooves were terribly...

Pictures !!!! I want pictures!

Priscilla hopped right on the stand today and ate her dinner. This is the first time she had ever seen it. I plan on feeding her there everyday. I wonder how long I should do this before I lock her head in. I was thinking in about a week then for another week or few days lock her in until...

I read the other day and I cant remember where. Sometimes the goat is not nursing right and it hurts the mothers nipple because they are suckling wrong. I wonder if that is why? I will try and find that article. I am so new to goats that I read everything I can find. I found it. Read this...

Hmmm...that makes me wonder. Maybe the stress of the move killed off his male sperm. Something to think about. I say this since I have read that the male sperm is more weak and dies away fast. Just a theory of mine....lol as I know nothing.

Two Bucklings for me as well!

Thank you! I will have 4 days to get her feed her on the stand before the kids are two weeks old. It will be her first time and mine...I will report back on how it is going!

I am feeling the cost of fencing right now..lol. My old horse fencing is not going to work for my goats plus we have a rather large field to update the fencing on. So far the feed and meds ect have been just fine but eww that fence I am buying is a boat load of money. I could have almost had...

I can vouch for the price of suppies for soap and it goes up every year! As a matter of fact dang olive oil just went up..ugh. I have been making soap for over 3 years and selling it for about a 1 1/2. I get my milk from a local farmer here. I am starting with goats so I can have my own milk...

Haha...I had two goats 4 weeks ago and now they turned into 4..lol.

First of all thanks everyone for thier input! I am letting the doe raise them. She has never been milked and this is her first pregnancy so I still need to work with her. I may try to start in a couple of weeks or just work with getting her used to me and the stanchion for the next time I...

Ok so here is my next question. They are NGDwarf/pygmy cross. When should I remove from thier mother?

Our Doe had two little boys. We are very new with goats and my husband is adament about keeping them. He is already in love with all the goat(you should see the area he is fencing up near the house so he can keep an eye on them..so funny.) We have plenty of room so I dont mine. I plan on...
