So the show is next week and unfortunately Rudolph slipped and hurt is hoof. Was some swelling around the dew claws ( I guess that's what you call it in cattle). Vet came out and we are treating with dexamethasone. He's doing better already. Vet said to put down the extra shavings to cushion...

Regular whole cows milk is best. Some replacers are better than others.

It's hard to switch once they've been nursing mom, but not impossible. You just have to hold their head with your hand use two fingers to pry their mouth open and put the nipple in their mouth. Enough tries and if they are hungry enough, they will usually get it. But, you do have to force the...

I take it they've been nursing mom up until now ?

We do plan to buy him back for our freezer. Yes, the show is April 4-5th.

So Rachel's 4H group had a showmanship clinic last week and we got the chance to weigh her steer. He weighs 1114 lbs with about 40 days to go until the show and sale. I looked back and he weighed 816 at the weigh in. He's looking really good. He is a Nash County, NC bred animal. @farmerjan

Tapeworms. They are actually some of the easiest to treat. You can treat with Safegard for Goats Do not follow the dose on the label. Give 1 cc per 10lbs. This is per my vet. Treat for 5 days.

So, Rachel showed at the NC State Fair. She had the Grand Champion Toggenburg, Grand Champion Nigerian Dwarf, and Reserve Champion Nigerian Dwarf. She won Premier Exhibitor and her Nigerian had Best Udder in Show. Maurine had some pictures made with the fair photographer but don't have them...

Do you have a picture of her? How old is she and how many times has she freshened? Is she in milk now or dry? You should still get a fecal done on her. Collect fresh pellets and put them in a baggie and put in the refridgerator to cool down. Keep them cool and take them to the vet. The...

Giver her the best hay you can get, free choice. Free choice means as much as she wants, keep it available to her all the time. Good alfalfa hay would be the best, or 2nd cut orchard grass. If you aren't already giving her feed find a good balanced, goat feed, 16% protein and giver her 2 cups...
