I don't. I was reading today on the page about what to have. We are making a trip to Tractor supply this evening for a few things. Seems the most very important are gloves, iodine, clean towels, clean water and a suction ball.

Yes, we saw a spine and rib cage. The vet was able to see a heartbeat, though I wasn't able to make it out.

I'd love twins!! At least 1 doe would be amazing! I'll just be happy for any amount of healthy kids! She's quite the character herself...miss priss I call her sometimes. I'll be locking up the buck this week, no need in him harassing her 24-7 for love that she is just not going to give. He's...

How long after should I wait before I breed her again? Not until the baby is weened if I had to guess. But since I'm so new with this, I'd rather ask then assume ANYTHING!

This is MoonPie a few weeks ago. I'll post one today when I get home.

Have any of you ever had trouble with your bucks trying to hurt the kids?

Yes @samssimonsays we have had a rough year, losing too many :( I pray this is a new beginning :fl:fl

We had my doe MoonPie Confirmed pregnant via ultra sound last Monday. Vet at that point said maybe 2 weeks left. I'll be reaching out to this wonderful group of people for help! Her utter has gotten much larger just over the last few days. She's still acting like her normal talkative self. We...

:hu Updates?

OK. sorry I didn't post sooner, internet issues at the house. I'm going to be a GOAT GRANDMA!!! The ultra sound confirmed at least 1 kid. And I thought she was just getting fluffy :) :weee Now, the vet said she might have 2 weeks left to go, and that was last Monday. I'm expecting anytime in the...

The vet comes out today to do the labs on both my Boers. Also we are getting an ultrasound done to see if Moonpie is preggers. I'll update later today. After we are cleared of all the nasty things that these labs will test for, I will think about investing in Kiko. I've read up on it, along...

Long term goal is to have them for meat and milk.

I raise boer. Well, I'm trying to. The poor guy in my picture with his head turned, who I called Paper Towel Roll (PTR) for short since his earls looked like them, died from a horrible worm infestation that fecal test after fecal test I just couldn't beat for him. They are brothers. The other...

Also, when I inspected the body after I got home from work yesterday evening the ONLY visible things were she had blood coming from her rectum and her vagina was protruding badly, almost looking like a balloon. I'd say sorry for the TMI, but we all raise animals, I think we all know there is a...

I'm hoping "Moon Pie" is preggers, she's been living with the buck since we got her. Doesn't seem to have any interest in him at all. I have a vet coming to the house Monday to draw blood, and they will possibly do an ultra sound on her.

Thank you guys for the nice response. I'm going to call my vet and see about having the 2 remaining goats testing for all 3. After that...go from there. If I didn't and I just brought more goats on board, I'd be asking for more heartbreak with no one to blame but my self for being so selfish...

I have had a very hard time with goats. I'm technically a new goat owner, if over a year is still considered new. I've had 4 goats die. I'm left with 2. I purchased 3 at an auction about 4 months ago. 2 died from worms within a week (fecal test confirmed MASSIVE amounts), purchased them at an...

There is a possibility we might be getting a donkey. I'm curious if they get along well with goats as we will have them in the same pasture?? Any advice

I'm going to assume here for a moment and hope that what the vet told me to get will not hurt them :fl I'm going to give it a shot and pray for the best!!!!! :fl:fl:fl

Newish to goats and have not had to do this yet. I believe my male Boer goat needs it done. I've watched the video, very nice! But, I know for a fact he is not going to sit there as nicely as her goat in the video did.:p It takes my husband and myself to hold him just for medication purposes...
