Per my vet we give the 8 goats in our pasture (4 pygmies, 2 were pregnant and just gave birth, and 4 dairy mixes) about 1-2 cups of 16% grain each morning. She says with the amount of pasture we have that is a luxury feeding. More to keep the goats friendly than because they need it. If you...

Gorgeous!!!!:D:D

They are both gorgeous!!!!!!

Isn't he a beauty! Any ideas on names yet??? He looks a lot like Mama. Maybe you could call him Juniper since his Mom is a Holly :)

I went out this morning to give everyone their medicine and there was Lil'Mama with both of her babies. Storm and Perseid were fine and nursing. I'm really at a loss as to what to think. Toro, her year and a half old wether baby is still stuck to her side and very jealous, but during the...

I went out tonight to check and see if everyone was all settled in OK. And to give Papa Frederick an antibiotic shot. Not to go into the story but the chickens don't sleep in the coop because the goats ripped the door off and took over. (Not that the goats sleep in there now, but the...

Here is the result of all of Maggie's Hard work yesterday. I think we are calling her S'more because of her markings. With the light graham cracker brown on top and the chocolate brown footings. Lil'Mama snuck in a quick delivery of twin bucklings while we were all busy. Name will...

You have my deepest sympathy. After all we went through tonight with Maggie and our trip to the vet I feel so lucky to have only lost the one Kid. Blessings and prayers to you and yours.

After a LONG afternoon in 96 degree heat we were able to help Maggie deliver one baby. Lil'Mama disappeared just as a thunderstorm kicked in. The vet advised us to move Maggie to the goat barn as it was raining where she was. So we moved her. Just before the rain hit we found Lil'Mama in the...

We have our goats in pasture. I'm in North Carolina so no severe winter. We built a "Quonset" hut for them to keep them out of the rain, they thought it was a great toy. They broke open the chicken coop and moved in. So the chickens have been living outside all summer and some of the goats...

Prayers coming your way!!!!!

Maggie is still hanging on. She is finding places in the shade to lay down. We are concerned that she is now laying down almost all the time. She hasn't come up to the water all day so we brought a small bucket down to her. She ignored it while we were there. She is getting vocal, which is...

Probably this "old wives tale" or myth started with females that were bred to breeds that didn't match in size or genetics and the females ended up dead or unsuitable to breed after that pregnancy. ( C-section, severe prolapse etc). In situations such as the shiz tsu that was too small to...

Hi all, I came over from BYC for the help. I'm usually OK with the goats, but I've never had one Kid before. Maggie should be an old pro at this. This is her third time - first with us. Her first time she had triplets, second she had twins. Due to the fact that she is now wider than she...
