    Goat Housing--plastic shed?

    If you type "calf hutch" into your search engine, several sites come up as to who sells them along with prices. Be prepared, they're not cheap if you buy them new. The most basic and smallest one starts around $250 plus shipping. The price goes up significantly if you buy the more deluxe...

    New to goats and lots of questions

    Ideally, it should be a mineral mix designed for goats. My preference is Sweetlix Meat Maker. As I mentioned in another post, my goats are not ga ga over it. They do eat it, but not with the gusto that some others have posted. I attribute this to them not liking it, but possibly their...

    Free choice minerals.

    I go to an independent feed store. It's small, but he carries a ton of stuff! And what he doesn't carry, I just ask and most times he says "sure, I can get that for you." I asked about kelp meal after I looked on line for it. Not only do you have the cost of the product, but then you have to...

    Free choice minerals.

    My goats are not big fans of loose minerals, but they do have it available to them at all times. As TOR mentioned, I have started feeding kelp meal on a regular basis to compensate for anything they may be lacking in their nutritional needs. Fortunately, they are very receptive to the kelp...

    Newbie goat help needed! Please!

    Glad to hear you have calmed down a bit! As far as getting another goat, more of what will determine compatibility is personality and how dominant or submissive each goat is. I do think you would probably have a much better chance with a younger goat, but that isn't set in stone...

    How old is too old?

    Dogs i know. Guard dogs I haven't a clue. How old is too old for a guard dog to work or continue working? Not to be vague, but I saw an ad for someone looking to place a 7 year old Pyr that is already a working sheep guard dog. They also mention this dog is good with other dogs. livestock...

    Newbie goat help needed! Please!

    I don't know if you're a drinking kind of woman, but if you are, pour yourself a stiff one, gulp that down, and then pour yourself another. If you a coffee kind of gal, switch to decaf! Deep breaths also help. Always remember no one has ever had a goat before their first one! The fact that...
