I know some people have different set ups. What do you guys use? I need to figure something out because mine waste so much on the ground!

I'm going to do random fecals on a few of the goats next week hopefully. Just to make sure everything is where it should be.

ok...well I'm pretty sure I feel like an idiot. I just went out there and bribed him with crackers...anyway on further closer inspection its soft and I'm pretty sure its just the way his hair is growin under his chin. He's got this funny cowlick going on down there. His under jaw is nice and...

Yea he would let me catch him to check it how closer today. Its like he new I had other motives other than loving him. I will try and see what it feels like. I thought the bottle jaw was bigger than that. The pics I saw when I looked it up showed it running the whole length and being alot...

Ok...Just noticed this on my little buck. He was just wormed with safeguard and had a 3-day treatment of Corid about a month ago. The wether in with him had coccidia and stomach worms that the vet told me to treat like that. He is eating normal pooing normal as far as I know and peeing...

I own a small herd of fainters that I breed. I love them. They are amazing little goats. Well some are little. I've got 1 6 year old doe Laila who was my first fainter. I bought her 2 years ago pregnant to be my alpine wether's friend. 1 doe that is Laila's Daughter named Rosie who is...

Most of my boys are "posed" when they stop to pee! :lau Thats the most they hold still. Mine see the camera and come running.

yea let me know if it does...I'm open to anything....not looking forward to fencing off the trees. lol

Well I've only seen my alpine wether eating the bark. The fainters I've seen eat branches but not actually the trunk. I was going to just trim them up high but my fiance wants me to protect them somehow.

We ran fecals and we treated for cocci and worms. I don't just worm them because. I just didn't know if the kids will be exposed but I suppose we could run fecals on them too. This last 6 months is the first time I've had issues with Lice, worms, and cocci in the 2 1/2 years that I've had...

Well I was told by my vet to do all of them and repeat in 4-6 weeks. The kids have since been born and I didn't know if I should do them too?

How old do kids need to be to use safeguard? Everyone else in the herd is getting it. The kids are 6 weeks. I have Valbazen also but I want to use the same thing on everyone if possible.

how far around them did you go and what did you use? I was just going to wrap them with the wire? Would I be better off going like a foot around each tree?

So I'm looking to expand my goat pen but there are alot of trees in that area. I would like to be able to keep them alive it at all possible. The last tree that the goats were with they killed. I've got 4ft high welded wire fencing I was going to wrap around them to see if that helped. Any...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this or not. Anyways I was wondering if there was anything I could use to get rid of the green stuff growing on the water buckets. Its only on some of them. I notice my plastic water buckets end up with it more than any rubber waterers. Even my...

So should I do everyone or just the ones that are showing it? Also repeat 10-14 days until its cleared or just 1-2 times? How long does it typically take for the coats to get into shape? I've been giving them 1cc per 50lbs per my vet. is that not enought maybe?

OK....so I posted on here awhile back about lice. A few of the goats seem to have it again...coarse dull coats and missing hair with some crawlies. Its ok to go ahead and dose them with ivermectin right? I did it IM...another breeder I know said she always does it SQ. Any other things I can...

Ok...so I just want to make sure. Panacur is the same as safe guard? I googled panacur and I got a link to safe guard goat wormer...

Interesting...When I did my fainter wether he was...oh boy...I want to say he was 4 months old the vet told me to still keep him away from the girls for 30 days to be on the safe side. She said he was still fertile for some time after the banding.

My alpine wether was disbudded but he ended up with scurs. Last year he one of this scurs broke off. He ended up going in to have it completely removed. It bled alot and he was in quite a bit of pain for awhile. That was only a scur. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a whole...
