I hate aggressive hives, but at the same time, they seem to bee the best honey producers. I always leave my "mean" hives to mess with on absolutely perfect days, you know the days that you would rather do something else.

I just want to preface this with "I love backyardherds.com!" I find it so amusing when I log on and the first pictures I see scrolling along the top include, babies of all sorts!! Followed by bull riding, oozing sores, snotty noses, mucus discharge, udders/teats, and vulvas!! I laugh at...

thanks for the advice. that what I did. no parasites, no temp, in great condition. just one of those things I guess. she came back into heat yesterday. so we'll see what happens. I really hope this was just a one time thing and will not be a reoccurring health problem. she is our favorite...

luckily this is not my first goat. I became a "goatie" last year and my side effects seem to be rescuing goats. not the first one to be brought home from less than ideal conditions, but the first I have had to actively try to catch running wild. Thanks for the info. I still have hopes that...

Thanks for the link. it was a dead end for me but at least I have tried to back track a tag!

does anyone know how to back track a usda premise number on a tag?

I think the vomit was from being car sick. I have not seen the kid since the day I caught her. I went back with her twice yesterday and even though she bleated for him, nothing. I fear the worse.:hitWe have a large coyote population in the area. I assumed that he would follow his normal...

Here is the picture I thought I posted earlier.

she seems good. just very flighty. she has good body condition, but it did look like she may have vomited yesterday after I got her home. there was some foamy goop under the cage. she also has scurs, but they are growing up.

I have caught her. Not the kid though. I brought her home last night and kept her penned. planning on taking her back after work and hoping the baby is hungry enough to be lured to her. I feel bad for separating them but I wasn't able to catch him and he just seemed to get wilder as I tried...

I have been looking at this too. I have a great hive at home and would rather propagate them with splitting them and having them make a new queen in stead of them swarming and possibly loosing the old queen. they are a gentle hive with good honey production. hope you get so actual answers!!

sweet feed is a savior!!!! I was able to touch her. I think I will be able to catch her soon

I have a live trap, too small for a pygmy though. That was going to be my next course of action. Trying to keep this goat from being put down is a lot of work.

I was hoping you had a response to what screw tail was. I haven't heard of it.

This is the view from goggle earth. We are standing in the river looking north and as you can see that is the hill side with the rip-rap on it the line divide is where the road is, and then straight up another hill. :barnie

its the access that is a problem...and I don't want to set it up to close to the road. it is the busiest county road here, I am surprised they haven't been hit yet. she went off the radar for a bit in august, and most of us assumed coyotes got her. we have a high population here. also with...

we had a very skittish goat and a tame one, it took lots of time but as my wife says, "the way to a goats heart is the same as a mans. Through its stomach!" sweet feed, just a little daily will get them on their way to being friendly, and just being around with out having to catch them to...
