I had 3 bred Nubians... One kidded on Thursday (Day 151) twin girls (:celebrate), one kidded yesterday (Day 152) triplets- 2 girls and a boy (:weee), and we are still waiting on the third... Today's Day 155... She's a second freshener, so her bag has started to fill, but nothing huge yet, her...

Awesome. Thanks so much!!

For me it has gone as follows: 2013- 2 does/1 buck 2014- 7 does/ 8 bucks Hoping this year produces around 50/50 or 60/40 in does! That would be awesome! Only time will tell!

I have a registered Nubian doe (two actually), who I am planning on breeding to a non registered purebred Nubian Buck. He would have had papers but the people that bought him didn't think it was necessary :th I'm really breeding for the ability to have more does in milk next year, but if I can...

Blood test. ELISA.

Ok, update.. Since all this, she has not improved at all... We had fecals run and a slew of blood tests... The vet decided that she had an "impressive" load of strongyles(sp?) which from what I understand is just barberpoles... I guess that's the worm that goats are most resistant to nation...

Well??? What happened??! :pop

Crud. Well ok, then my question is this... Daisy is one of our original 3 girls. She is 4 1/2, she has two sisters from the same dam, but different sires. We also have another doe from this same farm, but different dam than the original 3 (it's DH's Grandfather's farm, CRUD!). Now, Daisy's...

Got the results back!! :pop :pop We tested 8 girls. One of them being Daisy, and if you have seen some of my previous threads, you know that's the one we have been struggling with for sometime now... Probably 6 mos or so, and still having issues. Blood test: We brought the buck home to run...

Awesome! Got it done yesterday! Look forward to hearing results!

Fortunately the vet is willing to send it all off for me. So I don't have to worry about proper packaging etc... We were successful in drawing blood tonight! No one bled to death and DH only got stabbed once.. KIDDING!! Southern- As for the amount, I got about 4ml from each (8 from the...

I was hoping to use Rollins Lab in NC (if I can get all the info for it in time) for the Johnnes and CAE, and Biopryn for the preg test. I had the vet out yesterday to show me how to draw blood, so I was hoping to get the rest of my goats' blood drawn today to send out tomorrow. Also, does...

I am looking to test for CAE, Johnnes and a biopryn preg test. We had the vet out to draw blood on another goat earlier, so she showed me how to draw my own blood. Now I need to know what kind of vials I need for all 3 tests. Hopefully the vet can sell me just a few at a time.

I'm going through a similar situation. I wish I had answers too. My 2 yr old proven doe had a litter 5 wks before we bought her, and was bred right when we got her, but since then we've tried twice with no success. She lifts for him, the buck has had 3 successful litters with other does since...

Have you just let her sit there and eat? I like to give them a few weeks of just getting on the stand and eating. That shows them it's a good place to be, then slowly add in rubbing on the side of her belly, then slowly add rubbing under her belly, then add touching the udder and teats. When I...

we call those our nightly "butt checks" :D =D

Does it take the Standard Rex/NZW combination longer to hit processing weights? DH's grandfather wants us to breed that combination instead of the NZW/Californian combination. I'm just curious as to how the growing rate would compare

SBC- No she is not on probiotics. I have the tube of Probios though. What's the easiest way to give that to her She doesn't seem too fond of it when I try squirting it in her mouth, I've tried disguising it in her food, I bet she thinks "stupid human, I'm smarter than you think"... cuz she never...

I look forward to that! I am very interested in what all you've found!

So what's the point, or rather, how do you know if its a true positive or not? What about shipping? I'm in Kansas, would that be a killer? Does it have to be overnighted? No, we don't know how to draw blood (which would be another fee from the vet to have them do it for us), but when DH and I...
