The twins born this morning, I checked on this afternoon and we had a buck and a doe. Both were completely cleaned off and dry, up walking around, and nursing momma. I will get pics ASAP. :weee:cool::celebrate:clap:woot:thumbsup

My Spanish goats have Spanish names and my commercial goats names vary. Sometimes I let my little nieces name the babies that's how I have a goat name marshmallow, one named princess, one named snowflake, one named cinnamon, and one named smiley. LOL!!! :clap

I would buy her too!

Sounds like you need a drenching syringe. Here's a trick I have used that I learned in vet tech school to help intubate dogs once they were under anesthesia. Take a roll of vet wrap that's open in the middle and force their mouth open and put the vet wrap roll or a block of wood to hold their...

Update: we just had a set of twins a few mins. ago from our herd queen Miracle which will make a total of 19 kids in her 8 years on this earth. These 2 kids are the 1st kids born out of our Koy Ranch Spanish herdsire. He was just 5 months old when he bred my does so Miracle must have been near...

Yeah, the solar. Thanks.

The pure fainter will faint most of the time. It is quite comical. Youtube has some great vids of them in action. The half fainter may or may not faint. I have seen both ways.

Welcome Aboard!!! I love avocados, but they don't grow here in E. Tennessee so I buy them from our local market who gets them from California. We also have 2 Border Collies and a 1/2 English 1/2 American Bulldog who acts as our varmint dog, guard dog, and all around entertainer and court jester...

Update: no Feb, or March kids, more likely late April/ May kids. It is way past the time frame where we should have had kids from our previous herdsire Nacho. We thought he took care of biz (we never saw him breed any does as he was more of a private breeder vs. being a freak show like other...

That sounds like a fair price if she is registered. Six lbs. a day is not too shabby. She may increase her production depending on what she is fed (quality vs. quantity), her stress level, her age, disease status (if she got sick during lactation i.e. wormy or respiratory illnesses). All these...

I was so focused on the goats, I forgot to add my 2 cents worth to the mineral subject. If it were my goats, I would use a goat specific loose mineral. Sweetlix has a few different choices when it comes to goat minerals. The others are right in that there has to be a correct ratio of Ca to P...

Wonderful looking goats! Congrats on your new additions! Do the half Fainters actually keel over??? Interesting cross. With the Nubes being a dual purpose breed (meat/milk) and the fainter being a natural meaty animal and built like a bulldog (height=width), you have the beginnings of a good...

Fix the door and you will eliminate the elaborate scheme of building possum condos and trying to out smart them or killing them when you were the one who has created the food source and the avenue (literally) to get to it! It appears that you are bailing water out of a sinking ship when you...

Trap the possums with a trap designed for possums/ raccoons. If you catch cats in the process, just turn them loose. Personally, I would fix the problem (the space under the door) which seems to be root cause. The possums will leave if their access point is cut off. I am sure that if you have...

Would love to see your set-up. Can u post pics???

Kudos!:celebrate

If it were my goat, I would give give her 2 more doses and see what her fecal or her FAMACHA looks like. The only difference in the regular Ivomec and the Ivomec Plus is the addition of Clorsulon which kills liver flukes and the Clorsulon is shown to be not very effective when administering to...

I forgot to add, congrats on getting her through the bottle jaw.:celebrateNewbiekat, the iron and B-12 kinda work together to help her build her blood components back up, namely the RBC (red blood cells). The RBC's carry oxygen throughout the body. Oxygen is attracted to the iron in the blood...

I would continue with all meds for the determined amount of time. This is like a bacterial infection in that if you quit the full regimen of antibiotic when you feel better, only the weak bacteria are killed and the more serious bacteria are still active and if they multiply you get what's...

I forgot to mention, this Contagious Ecthyma is a virus so antibiotics WILL NOT prevent or treat this disease. The only thing that antibiotics will help with is to treat a secondary infection caused by the virus. I would not even bother with putting antibiotic ointment on the goat's mouth...
