:ep WOW....I can't believe all that came out of ONE goat! They are beautiful! Glad to hear mama is recovering well.....poor thing.... :)

Anyone use just electric??? He's complaining about the number of fence posts.....:rolleyes: Yes, he's a real PITA.

Can you use all electric fence? We are fencing pasture and our neighbor is pitching a fit about a woven wire fence blocking his view. :somad did I mention he's also my BIL? :rant What spacing would you use and how tall? What voltage?

We are getting nigerian dwarf goats and my hubby wants to know how many strands of electric fencing do we need and what spacing is best?

wow, they are beautiful! Congrats!

She said her front legs are slightly curved and don't straighten out all the way. Don't really know what that means. Hubby really has his heart set on the other healthy doe.

we are in a situation that we want a particular goat baby but she has a herd mate that the owner wants to keep with her. Problem is that the herd mate is a hermaphrodite. Vet checked it and said health wise it is fine but has some issues with it's front legs. What do I do? Hubby and I really...

Saturday we visited Cornerstone Farm in Red Oak, Va to see our new nigerian dwarf babies. We are also taking an older doe (whose head is covered in pine sap from rubbing against her favorite tree) Tally. She is my hubby's favorite and she will chase off other does when he is with her. She is...

Wow, we are getting nigis so the bottom strand is going to go about 4 or 5 inches. Does that sound about right?

Well, funny you should say that....we were just going to go over the field and disk it and then toss in some seed mix. We weren't looking to till it up or anything...probably should have clarified that. We may go with some kind of mix like what FiascoFarm has on their website. We want to...

Okay, I am getting 4 nigis in May, or thereabouts, 3 2month olds and 1 older doe. We are just starting out and I want to know what I should have on hand. The basics....meds, feed mix, minerals, supplies. Also, what should we plant in the pasture for them? I'm planting some beets, sunflowers, and...

Aw come on now OFG, if you went out and squeezed that goat and anything came out of her Titan would be dragging your limp body back to the house for sure!!! :gig

I have been thinking about free ranging my rabbits to cut down on the cost of feed during the warmer months but didn't know quite where to begin. I only have 3 rabbits now that share a large hutch (all female) but want to get into meat rabbits and get a buck. So, here's what I tried today. I...

do you think I could mix in some alfalfa with it??? I hadn't thought about a deer mix. We have some small pines trying to take hold in the pasture and I know they'll eat those but I have been thinking of planting some sort of rotational grazing thing with different things in different...

I am getting 4 nigerian dwarf does in May and we are getting property with access to 6 acres of pasture, no trees, just open pasture land. I am in central Va, what should I plant in the pasture for the goats? We have a few head of black angus cattle that can come in afterwards and graze and we...

Would a 6 or 7 strand electric wire fence work for Nigis? We are getting 4 goats in May and he was reading about the recommended fencing. We have about 1-2 acres to fence right now with another 6 available to us. Does anyone run just electric for their goats? Ours are dehorned....as will be any...

Okay, so for someone just getting started.....how do I make probiotics for my goats? What supplies do I absolutely HAVE to have (I am getting 3 8-10 week old nigis and 1 older doe that cannot be bred) to get started with a natural program? What feed do you recommend? If I can find a feed store...

Do you have to take the horns off? We are getting registered nigis soon and they are coming to us disbudded but my hubby says he doesn't have the heart to do it after watching a video on youtube. Just wondering if it is better to leave them on, burn them with an iron, or wait and band them?

I'm getting Nigerian Dwarf babies in the summer! Problem is they are like potato chips......just can't stop once the bag is open!
