Corona virus just blocked a goat sale. I have a buyer for one of my bucks and they are in Oklahoma. The transporter was originally scheduled to pick him up tomorrow, but they have postponed for at least 2 weeks. I can't say as I blame them. Oh and one other thing. I haven't been updating...

I wouldn't recommend getting into hay business. For all the reasons Beekissed mentioned.

The problem with using products for horses is that goats metabolize differently. So, what is a dose for 150 lbs may not be correct.

Worm the 3 with Safeguard for goats. Don't use horse paste. 1 cc per 10 lbs for 5 days. That's what I would do. Then wait 10 days and run another fecal on those 3.

I was supposed to travel by plane next week for work. But, my company instructed us to avoid non essential domestic air travel and prohibited international air travel without executive management approval. We are doing a test next week to have 25% of my division work from home. We all have...

I would worm Isabel and Peanut. Maybe Jack I wouldn't worm the others.

They look fine.

I hope he continues to improve.

I asked my wife who used to work on a commercial hog farm and at the NC State Swine Unit. She said it was probably pneumonia. Treat with antibiotics and banamine is all you can do.. She said they usually used penicillin.

I think I addressed that question as well.

I don't think that getting a couple of bucks just to have a stud business is a very good business plan. I'll put it that way. :) I don't know a good business plan for making much money with goats. If I come up with one, I'll let you all know.

People do lease bucks. Many do. I just don't know of any serious breeder that would rely exclusively on using other peoples bucks.

Not usual for us, but we leased a Nigerian buck this year. This despite the fact that we own I think 8 of them. LOL But, we know who is and where he is. We own his grandmother and got him specifically to breed to her (Zamia) and his aunt (Clarabelle). We also bred him to several others while...

I know a pretty well known Nigerian Dwarf breeder who used to keep a buck every year to let other people breed their does. He kept a good buck, not necessarily a great buck. He also kept it in a different pen than his other goats. He didn't breed any of his does to the buck. And at the end of...
