Ok, thanks for confirming my suspicions. I'm switching to Sweetlix as soon as they come into the store. I had to request that they order them, all they had available was this garbage and Purina brand which I've heard is mostly filler too! I'm so sorry for the goats in my area whose owners are...

So I'm a little nervous to share about this because it will probably be exposing my ignorance in one way or another, but I'm ok with doing that to figure out what the deal is with these minerals that I've been using! I have three Nigerian Dwarf goats, and they're my first so I'm still...

Hey all, We just got a new young buck a couple of weeks ago and when he came to us his hooves were really overgrown to the point where one of his back hooves was totally lopsided when he walked. It was horrible, and we've been trimming them back to normal and checking his feet regularly since...

I appreciate the advice about putting her in with the adults, but I only have the two goats who are both full grown and are not able to keep the puppy in check. Does anyone else have suggestions for training her out of these bad habits?

Southern by choice - She was intended to be used as an LGD. A friend of ours got her and her brother to guard her goats, but it turned out that she couldn't afford to care for both of them so we brought her to be with us. She was spayed about a month ago, and she had not come into heat before...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice about how to get my Great Pyr puppy to quit chasing our two Nigerian Dwarf goats! Here's her story: She's about 10 months old right now. She grew up in a barn with a larger herd of Nubian goats and two other Great Pyrs (one older, not really trained to...

I think that I've found some other Nigerians where I might just go ahead and purchase a young buck instead of leasing. Thank you for your help!

Can anybody instruct me on how to post a picture on here? She said she's not sure what breed he is (??) but thinks he's a Nigerian. I have a picture of him and would like to get your opinions on the breed...

I'm thinking that all your advice makes sense, I really don't want to give my goats any risk of a difficult birth. Especially the younger one! Yeah, we've been thinking about maybe just getting a buck as well. We definitely have the room for it, so if a good opportunity comes up to get one...

Thank you, that's really good to know! One of them is 2 yrs and she has kidded one time before, but the other is only around a year and it would be her first pregnancy. I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences or suggestions!

Hi all, I've just been an observer until now, but I've found this forum extremely helpful as a new goat owner trying to figure it all out. I have two Nigerian Dwarf does who were supposed to be pregnant when they came home with us a few months ago, but after seeing them come into heat three...
