The toggs kids are only a week old do I have time to improve the milk production for when kids are off and on I guess?
Is the boer milk any good to keep for human consumption?
So should I not even bother milking them until the kids are off of them?
Unless I see I need to for some...
Well two of the moms are boer goats so they wont probably have much milk to begin with. 1 is a toggenburg and has twins so might just be the way it is?
They get free choice grass hay right now....but I had alfalfa till just the other day. I cant find any alfalfa hay right now. They do love it...
I have video of him so freakin cute. He was 4 1/2 lbs and had an issue with his back feet curling. I had gave him bose already. I was gonna get him in splints soon but he did not live long enough.
Thank you all!
My goats are not far from my back door lol. I gave them all bose so I will have to ask the vet if it had cdt in it....I don't think so it was not mentioned but I will double check.
Thank you!
I gave them all bose already.
I am using a loose mineral an off bran from my feed store for all live stock....what should the copper level be for goats?
Thank you!
She finally kidded on the 9th at night had triplets of course we were out of town.

One still in the sac and huge when we got home. We did not focus on this one too much just assumed it was gone already.
The runt was laying on the ground also and I seen it move and take a breath...
Thank you for all this info Elevan....sorry I have not responded have had a tough last week :( lost 2 babies.
I do have another question or 2 lol.
As for the CDT the bottle I have says it does not expire till 2014 but has always been in the frig....it says to use all the contents upon first...
That is her mom in the pic....mom is boer and dad is saanen....he passed away in Feb. I think it was. So she is special! :) I do like how she is all white pretty cool. Here is her mom and dad.
My doeling is now 3 days old. Today I gave her 1/2 cc of bose and the mom 3 cc of bose per the vet.
I am thinking maybe probias too.
When can they have wormer and cdt? How much of each?
Minerals/baking soda?
Also anything I left out? Isnt there something for cocci I should give or not...
Thank you they seem well this am.
Is there anything I should give the baby or mom now medication wise or when? They did not have CDT but I thought I read baby cant have that till 1 month old? What about wormer or anything for coci? Mom is not due for bose till May but what about the baby when...
Yay came home to one doeling this evening. We probably got here withing 1/2 hour of being born....and no more. Hopefully I can see the others being born.
So precious!
