I wish you were closer, I have been wanting a Great Pyr for awhile.. The female would be perfect---of course I would have her spayed.:)

Really nice pictures! Such beautiful scenery. What breed is the doe with ghe really long ears? And welcome to BYC!:)

The low temp in a couple of days is going to be -14 F. Is there anything I should do for my animals besides giving extra feed rations and extra bedding? Most of my goats are old enough I'm not too worried, but I have 2 doelings born about a month ago that I am a little worried about. They...

And then it would be gone after she swallowed a bunch of times. The doe is doing great----has such an appetite that she was banging on the door of the shed tonight when I brought the feed out. She's getting 11/2 cups of feed 2x a day and plenty of hay 2x a day. She's very alert and attentive...

Well, I acquired the doe just last week, I suppose the iron deficiency is possible. The thing is, she only had a swollen neck right after I would feed her

I looked jp what could have been wrong with ber. One possibilty is "milk throat" aother had to do with being jnfested with

I had colostrum from TSC that I added to her forumla. Unfortunately, little Flower passed away sometime between 12:30 & 3:00 this morning.:hit I thought something was wrong because I noticed last night that the formula would collect in her throat and her throat would be bulging until I held...

The afterbirth was passed, just not coming loose. This morning there was just a small amount left. All three kids are doing well. The one inside will probably be inside for awhile. Here are pics of them wearing their sweaters. Of course, Flower doesn't oneed hers for now, I just thought she...

Tbey adapt to living outside very quickly. Like others have said, a nice shelter with a LOT of straw. And when it's below freezing, make sure she has access to water.

Thank you all! I knew not to pull on the afterbirth----about half fell off and I took scissors and very carefully cut most of what was left off---it looked uncomfortable. I did end up bringing the one.baby that wasn't doing well inside. No BOSE, but I am bottle-feeding her. She was just...

The only problems are: fhe one in the first picture is standing with the front of his back feet under him, and momma still has a large amountof afterbirth attached. Any advice?

Here they are: Doeling #1

I was very lucky to get their momma and her half-sister from a friend! I got a great deal considering they are registered and the babies sire is too! I feel kind of bad because one of my friend's other does just had triplet bucklings. These doelings coloring is wonderful---I'll post pics this...

Well, she kidded around 1:30-4:00. 3 beautiful doelings! I stayed with Fancy and dried each kid as it was born, and they seem to be doing o.k. I'm wondering if someone can tell me the signs to look for in case they start getting weak. I'm not sure if they are nursing well---have to leave for...

Haven't been on here in quite awhile, good to be able to turn here for advice! I got two new registered nigi does last weekend, one due to kid any day. This was an accidental breeding (as far as time of year). It's getting down to 19F tonight, and when I checked the doe a little bit ago, it...

Thank you elevan, it's taken awhile, but I'm finally there.

I am finally a member of the NDGA! I bought 2 registered doelings this spring, and have finally sent the paperwork in for my buck. My herdname is Untamed Eden. I can't wait to start having registered kids! That won't be until spring of 2015---unless I decide to purchase a couple of 1-2 year...

I have 2 Nigerian Dwarf bucks who have been kept in a pen together for almost a year with no issues. They've sparred and butted heads a bit, but neither ever got hurt. Last night while feeding everyone, I noticed they were really going at it--butting heads over and over. My older buck turned...

I have Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy goats. I feed them 1/2 flake of hay each 2x a day, and 1/4 cup of Noble Goat feed each 2x a day. You also need to have loose mineral and salt and baking soda available to them on a free-choice basis. I don't know why someone said that if they are only NDGA...
