Awww...she's cute! :love I voted, btw. :)

Wow, really? That is so neat!! With the exception of wildlife rescues, I've not heard of people keeping a deer before. Well, other than the time when I was very young and we went to a tree farm that had a small herd of deer that we could feed. So, does that mean you can just purchase a...

Awww... congrats on the kids! :love Your doe was huge; I thought she might have had three or four in there! :ep

So far, we've only slaughtered any animals we butcher (we've just done chickens, rabbits, and a friend's goat, once) out of sight. The only sound that any animal could possibly hear is if a rabbit squeals during slaughter.

Howdy all! I've been trying to decide what to do as far as selenium administration goes for my goats. I called our vet a couple of weeks ago to ask them if they gave the BoSe shot and they do; however, they are out of BoSe and they don't know when they will get it back in. That being said...

That is so cute! I've not seen a goat smile like that for a camera before. You should definitely enter her for the photo of the week. : )

Howdy all! I have a just over seven month old Nigerian Dwarf doe, Liberty, with runny/ weepy eyes. There isn't any goop or scabs or crustiness; just clear liquid running out. None of our other goats have this; she is the only one exhibiting this. She is eating, drinking, going, and chewing...

Banding is putting a band on the base of each horn. You typically use c-bands (those used for castrating young buck kids); although, your doe has bigger horns, so you might need to get bigger bands for her. What it does is apply pressure on the horns till they fall off. It may not help her...

Yikes! It's not fun having a temper-tantrum goat. One of our does likes to nibble/bite me on the milkstand if she can. Naughty goat! Banding is an option, too. We were given a young doe with horns a couple of weeks ago. We really don't like our goats to have horns because of the horror...

If you are wanting milk, then, yes, I'd definitely suggest trying her milk to see if you like it. Depending on what breed she is, you need to see how much she is producing on average. You don't want to purchase a doe that's a poor milker; for example, doesn't produce much for her breed. If...

How is the Python Dust working for you? Is it a one time application? or do you need to do it several times? Also, we have Adams flea & tick shampoo with IGR. Would that be all right to use on them? Have any of y'all ever used vinegar spray? Thanks!

How are your kids doing parttimefarmer and michickenwrangler?

Awww...they're adorable! :love Love that second photo. And :welcome

Howdy y'all! A few weeks ago, I noticed that two of our bottle babies (and I wouldn't doubt if the other two had it, as well. One's white & the other is gold/white, so it's harder to tell) have small white 'specks ' in groups on their head and neck/ shoulder areas. They've got a few of these...

I agree with sprocket. :) This is my first year with bottle babies and was it a struggle! We ended taking up four kids off their mamas. Since we wanted them to still learn goat behaviour and know their moms, we would let them have mama time either overnight or for a few hours each day. This...

Congrats on the quads! :love How many does and/or bucks did you get? Please post photos of them! :D

Congrats on the quints! They're so cute! :love

They are adorable! :love Congrats on the healthy kidding! :)

Yes! :D One of my does, Dusty, kindled 6 kits yesterday. I'm waiting for my other two, which are due anytime now!! :weee

Congratulations! They are cute! :love
