    Salty Jersey Milk...What’s Causing it?

    Update 2... Great news! We did end up getting a young calf to nurse off her, and after giving him several days to clean her out well, we tried her milk again yesterday....NO saltiness at all, just creamy and amazing flavor that you just can’t get at the store. Super exciting!! And since we got a...

    What color is this?

    This is called a “harlequinized chestnut”, or a “harlequinized castor” in Rex breeds 😊 They are very unique!

    Question about how young to breed.

    We had a Nigerian dwarf doe accidentally get bred at about 6 months, and she had a healthy and quick delivery...however I DON’T recommend intentionally breeding so young! As long as your goats are a healthy weight and size, you should be fine to breed at 12-15 months.

    Salty Jersey Milk...What’s Causing it?

    A little update from today... After milking into a different jar for each quarter, I DO have some results! 😁 Front left is slightly salty, front right is “in between”, and back is pretty salty. I’m guessing the front quarters are starting to clear up some, because there IS. Noticeable...

    Bad rabbit breeds to breed?

    Hollands can be stubborn, but typically do well once bred. Angoras are hard to breed and raise, but other than that most breeds are pretty easy! Netherlands aren’t very hard to breed in my experience, but I disliked them because of they’re mean attitudes.

    Dutch mark vs vienna?

    The only time dutch markings are NOT Vienna are in the dutch breed. All other breeds they are considered VM, even if they don’t show blue eyes. 😊

    Salty Jersey Milk...What’s Causing it?

    Thank you for all the great information so far! Unfortunately our longhorn bull has yet to arrive as the current owner can’t get him into the trailer...but we *should* have him here soon and we will let him in the field with her and the longhorn cows as well. I will look for the cream and try...

    Salty Jersey Milk...What’s Causing it?

    Hi all! We recently added a 5 year old Jersey cow to our herd. She was being used as a nurse cow so she was still in milk, and we have been hand milking her. The only problem is when her milk gets cold, it’s salty! Research online has told me that it can be 3 things: Mastitis Been in...

    Tips for Bunnies With Splayed Legs?

    Hi all! we are taking in a bunny in May who has two splayed legs (back) I’m not going to put her down because of it unless she suffers, so I’m looking for any advice you may have as far as housing, special care, and if splinting is worth it. She’ll be 8 weeks when I get her, and she’s a New...

    Can I Train my Goat’s Horns?

    Hello everyone! We have a 2 year old Nigerian buck that was disbudded, and we have been having a problem with his horns growing towards his head. He has horns now, they aren’t really scurs...my question is, can we “train” his horns to grow up before they curve back, or is this not possible?
