I completely understand. I sold half my herd a couple weeks ago and I just cried and cried. I have mine for family milkers and 12 goats was just way to many. I now have 6 and everytime I go out to love on my other goaties it seems to get easier. With that said I still miss them and get...
Thank you all again. Prince Julian loves it outside and he spends most of the day in our fenced in acre back yard. His previous owners never took him outside other then on their back deck. He is really enjoying rooting around and playing. We have two kiddie pools out side, I will have to...
Thank you for all the advice. Prince Julian is quite the character and settling in great. My only concern for now is that he pigs out on all the fallen apples under our apple tree. I fed him less of his food yesterday because of the apples. At least the apples are seasonal and we have picked...
We finally gave in after several months of our teenage daughter asking for a pig. She named him Prince Julian. He is 5 months old and was being raised as a house pet. We are going to continue raising him indoors but are going to give him much more time outside. He is potty trained and very...

Next doeling is 8 months and a pygmy/ND cross. She is the...
I started with miniature goats but I have a family of 11 and was not getting enough milk. I now have Lamanchas and am getting enough milk for my family size. I believe goats are friendly animals but some are friendlier then other due to how they were raised. If you are getting a goat in milk...
I have both wethers and does. I started with wethers and later purchased does for milk. I ended up selling the wethers to make room for more does that my goats kidded. I would say it would have been easier to start with a doeling because I would have had a doe if I decided to start milking...
I am glad she gets more time to heal before surgery. My son severed the tip of his finger and they are giving him time before surgery and so far I am very pleased with the progress. I hope she heals up before the fall.
My LGD Great Pyrenees loves to roll in the hay when I am cleaning the goat house. I always tell my kids she is helping spread the hay because she grabs mouthfuls and runs around and tosses it in the air.
