My daughter (6.5 yr old) is wanting to start showing Nigerian Dwarf goats this year (very casually and just for fun at this point) but we are switching over to registered nigerians and so need to come up with a herd name. We would love to hear some feedback from fellow goat lovers, suggestions...

super cute kids! Congrats!

thanks for the suggestions SheepGirl, I might use that one if we have one born closer to Christmas. We are going with Country Magic Reese's Pieces and we'll call him Reese.

I bought this cutie pie buckling…I just couldn't resist. Can't wait to see his babies! He comes from milky lines, is a triplet and has tons of personality. He's absolutely perfect, I just love that dark chocolate colouring with the blue eyes. Trying to figure out a name - Herd name is "Country...

X2…in my experience, most rams get more aggressive when you bring out the grain. In general the top/boss gets the most grain and they dont' have a problem coming at you either. That grain bucket makes them CRAZY! at least around here.

Congrats on a job well done….what a happy handsome baby!:love

Glad to hear she is feeling better! Super cute!

So sweet…nice work, both of you!

oh, I am so sorry you are having such a rough season. :hugs That little buckling is adorable, glad to hear he is doing well.

being both eyes it is likely an infection rather than injury or foreign body. For goopy eyes, I always assume pink eye first. If you have some good quality honey UNPASTEURIZED just mix 1 part to 1 part with previously boiled (sterilized) water that has been cooled. Dissolve the honey in the...

Well I am happy to report that Scarlet has a nice shiny coat coming back in now and seems much happier again. :weee I want to do the rest of the herd because I suspect it was lice but some are pregnant and due within the next month and not sure what I should use? Any advice in treating for lice...

:weee

:woot:welcome

I am treating her with ivomec pour on which should take care of lice and worms. I had called the vet and despite the cold weather they said they having a lot of calls suspecting lice so that is likely the problem. My neighbour came over and said looks like lice to him too..I have no idea where...

I guess its possible she's not getting enough copper…all the other goats seem fine though. Our area is not copper deficient, she has always had a nice glossy coat and it seemed to go fall out rather swiftly to be a copper deficiency. I suspect these crazy weather changes but she's practically...

Anyone have any suggestions?

My precious Scarlette looks a mess right now. Earlier this week I noticed the hair on her neck thinning…I thought it was just from it rubbing on the bars of the feeder. Now she looks a real mess..big patches of hair falling out everywhere, especially on her back and hindquarters. The hair falls...

she's lovely!

yikes! Sharpening horns…never would have thought they would figure out how to do that :ep…I was thinking of venturing into the lamanchas but after hearing this I may just have to stick with my beautiful but dim-witted Nubians. Sometimes clever is not such a great quality. I hope everything...
