So about three more days then🤣🤣

She is definitely a master taunter🤦🏼‍♀️ I just want to be present to assure drying off and warmth is sufficient. And to be there in case of emergencies. It’s cold and rainy today. And I just feel like I can never get her room warm enough🤦🏼‍♀️ We have a heat lamp, but technically it’s up high...

I’ve tasked two teenage boys with goat backend checks every half hr. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Like how fast do you think? I’ve had to run to a part store about an hr away to get a part for my husband’s truck…so that’s two hrs at least away from home😬😬

She appeared to be relaxed. Her udder has been looking filled for a couple of weeks now. But I don’t see the shiny/glossy look I’ve read about so perhaps she’s not completely filled? I would say it still feels soft. Definitely doesn’t remind me of when I breastfed and was full of milk, like if I...

I am definitely in need of guidance! I will pick up a Ball book of Canning this week! Spicy sweet pickles made my mouth water!😋 And I’m looking forward to being on the same level of crazy as y’all! I’m pretty sure I’m on the right road😆

Good morning. I went outside to do one of many checks on Rainy today. If my calculations are correct tomorrow should be 150 days since the deed…but she was kept with the male for a while longer while his pen was being put up…anyway, I’ve checked her ligaments a few times a day for the past week...

Gosh!! I love you guys already!! Thank you for more insight…Saanens and Nubians- 1-2 gal a day!!! That is noted and texted to DH. To cut my grocery bill down would be phenomenal! I kid you not we spend a lot🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve got a little patch in the side yard that I've tried to garden in before and...

I’m not from a big family (2 sisters, myself and my mom) but I knew I wanted a big family. I am hoping to pass on the desire to farm and thrive to my kiddos. I think some of them have caught the bug☺️one has wanted to be a farmer for the past 5/6 yrs, and all of them love animals. I’m looking...

I have tried my hand at gardening. I can freeze stuff pretty well, and I’ve canned pickeled jalapeños. I’ve tried canning tomatoes and salsa, but failed. I have made jam but it only lasts a few months before it begins smelling and tasting a bit like wine (🤔not sure what happened there). I really...

I’m definitely nervous. I’ve never assisted in animal births. I’ve only ever been present at the births of my own children. I have watched hours of births of goats on YouTube. It’s a dinner time show for me now🤭my family sits by and silently eats🫣 I’m hoping and praying everything goes smooth...

You have a lovely herd!! I am looking forward to watching it grow alongside mine! I’m definitely still a newbie, I’m not sure when I’ll graduate 🤔 This pregnancy is about to drive me bonkers🙃 I’ve had 6 of my own and I wasn’t this anxious. I can just imagine if I’m this stressed about a goat...

Thank you! Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I needed your post🙏 I’m not big on social media (ain’t nobody got time for that🤣) but I am loving being here on BYH. I’ve gleaned so much in the past few days. I am wanting milk. One of my daughters can’t have cow milk, but does great on goat...

My father-in-law asked what have I been up to today. I said staring at my goat’s rear end. He choked on his drink😉 I too finally came in and called it a night… praying she waits until morning. She and I are both newbies at this kidding business, I’m hoping she’ll allow me to help. Or at least...

I’m in Randolph! I have family in Hickory😊 How long have you been caring for goats? February will be a year for me.

A Pygmy/boer mix (female) and a Pygmy/alpine mix (male) or at least that’s what I was told🤷🏼‍♀️ These pics are from about five months ago. So they’re both a bit bigger now. The one with the blue collar is my female, Rainy. The male is Rusty.

The face behind my posts is the lady in green. DH is there with me and the other picture is our 6 blessings. Ages range from 10-20 (just the kids ages, my age and my husband’s are in the 30’s and nearing 40!!)

Very curious what happened with your goat?? Mine is due any day and I’m trying to take in as much info as I can. And honestly I’ve been stalking this post…I need more details!! Thanks!!

Hello! We have started a small farm/garden on just over 2 acres. We have 13 chickens (11 hens and 2 roosters, one rooster is a free roaming bachelor, who comes and goes from the coop at his pleasure) we have 4 dogs and the whole reason I’m here is the two goats. One male, one female. New to...
