Gingerbread... she's my goat I brought home and kidded that night with triplets. We have had her since the beginning of April... Well, two days ago I noticed a lump in her cheek, looked like she had a bunch of cud she was chewing on. Yesterday I noticed the lump was still there and she was not...
Of course she did. Just to add to her mischevious, doe-coded nature... And in our BYH defense... We don't think you're crazy. :) we understand what you're going thru. We all have been thru (or at least I have) the "I think I'm crazy, wrote the date down wrong" stage at some point :)
I know there is a way... I just can't find any instructions. Anyone have any ideas? I have found the one-way valves, I have found the replacement nipple holders from Hoegger's, I know you need the tubes, but I don't know how big to cut the holes, how those nipple holders work, etc... Also, I...
Madcow- I know what you mean... I dread milking her every time... It's been better with the machine but everything else just seems to overcome the better milking experience. I may have to cull her. :(
OFA- it's just so hard to make that final decision to put her up for sale. I understand the...
That's what I was thinking... It's all in her genetic composition... I would say her sister gives probably a quart or so more, maybe a little more than that...
She's not got the best personality either, she's always been a brat, but I hate to separate her from her twin, as well as her older...
I have a goat who is now three years old... Second freshener. Has terrible teats. Did last year too. This year we broke down and got a milker just for her. Works great. Her teats are a little better but not much. But this is all beside the point. :D =D We have been separating babies at night for...
We had one that we know for sure was bred on a certain date, but apparently didn't settle and kidded 3 weeks later than the due date we had written down. Which would have been on her next heat cycle... Not sure if that's what you're experiencing but that was my experience. Hope that helps.
:( okayyyy... Darn it. I thought so... I just hate seeing them this way. Okay well I will keep going then... Thank you.
Alsea- how much BOSS should I give them? Free choice or limited?
I have a few goats that had some bad worms. They got pretty skinny, so I took a fecal into the vet and he said stomach worms. He suggested cydectin. So we oral drenched them with cydectin (10 cc per 100 lbs). This was probably a week ago. I'm planning on taking a fecal in to the vet again...
