You are all so wonderful! I have been having such a hard time with this. My sweet husband and dad went and took care of the goats so that I didn't have to see them that way again. I'm having a hard time getting that image out of my head. It brings me to tears every time I think about it...

I'm just devastated. I went out to feed the herd this morning and all of our goats are dead. A pit bull was sitting in the middle of the pen. I am just sick.

Thanks everyone! It's funny - I have two human boys of my own and you'd think I could think critically about this in regards to goats. o_O It all makes sense! Anyway, we found a local vet that does disbudding and castration. We don't have any equipment or experience in these areas yet and...

Any suggestions on what to do about water for the rest of the herd while keeping the babies safe? Maybe a low, shallow pan?

Holy goats! I came out to feed my goats and there are two new babies! We didn't even know she was pregnant! I am not prepared - please give me your quick and dirty to get these guys ft to a good start! These are our first babes!

Anyone on here live in or around the Cincinnati area and have a vet to recommend? We have Nigerian Dwarves, and I would love to have a number to call in case of an emergency. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, We have a ND doe (possibly pregnant) and 2 ND wethers. The doe is 18 months old and the wethers are 5 months. We have a permanent fence up for them, but we primarily got them for brush control and I have some questions about electric fencing. Mainly, what are your best tips for...

Hello there! My family and I recently waded in to the world of Nigerian dwarf goats. We have an 18 month old doe and 5 month old wether brothers. We are having a blast. We also keep chickens and have about 5 acres in the middle of Cincinnati. If you live in the area, give a shout - I'd love...
