What do you cross them with? I thought about crossing with boer or kiko but I figured I would get less meat since most myo are smaller

Do all of your purebreds faint?

Interesting, when I brought mine one would faint and the other wouldnt even slightly stiffen. These came from a reputable breeder who claimed they was all purebred. I suspected some NG because of their small size

I’m aware they don’t actually faint and I’m also aware there’s varying degrees the muscles may tighten. I heard a while ago it’s because they aren’t purebred do anyone know if there’s any truth to this?

Looks like things are coming along nicely, it’s pretty warm in my parts too for the times. We barely had a winter just a couple cold weeks and a little bit of snow. I’m starting my landscaping next week

3k wow def a deal, how deep and wide is it?...how are the cattle holding up with the winter weather

Im so envious very nice property. I was actually looking at a 20 acre property recently already had stables, barn, indoor/outdoor kennel, fenced pasture, and water throughout the pasture..BUT! The house was horrible and to far from the city. I usually go the diy route but I think I’m going to...

I was wondering how I missed that you posted a min before me lol. There is a proven way locally of a guy making money selling goats. Pasture raise meat goats, and marketed to the ethnic community ie Asians, Africans, islanders etc. He even have a slaughter station on his farm so they can butcher...

Be sure to to keep pics coming of your setup and growth. Are you a diy cheapo kind of guy or buy straight from the store with what works.

I think we need to focus on the OP situation. Having 2 bucks and only those 2 and not working on lines or creating a better buck isn’t “serious”. I’m sure there’s more regular goat owners then serious ones that need their does kept in milk or wanting kids without the expense or care of a buck

Now that the very experienced goat people have spoken I’ll come back lol. Business wise, it is business In stud”n bucks. I’ve seen it and it was an option to me. But enough to cover the cost of them or to be actually profitable. Not too sure about that. I think it’s more about what’s her...

There’s a nursery near my home that has a pet emu pretty laid back. I seen a egg for 25 on Craigslist and chicks was 125 last year. I’m not sure how they do shipped but eBay have eggs for 50 each

I wonder what the stud fees are I wouldn’t even get a buck if I had someone close to knock the ladies up. Check Craigslist and see what stud fees are going for. If it about the money? Or just a project to help cover feed. Can breed fainting goats/Nigerian dwarfs to sell as pets, stud, breed for...

I’ve decided to wait another year before I get my heifers, my mom having issues so untill this situation settle I’m going to wait it out. Most of my pets/livestock was highly treat motivated. My dog don’t even listen to me anymore unless he know it’s either time to come in or feeding time smh

How did you train them to come when called?.. once you finish the steer do you have any plans for company for the bull calf?

Sure I didnt setup my profile fully let me know if you can see my location I think I did it right. If you can’t, I’m in Maryland. I’ll update it when I get off work

I’m sure, I’m def mr cheap but I’m not mr time. When my wife stop working that would be a fun project for her raise a couple. Did you ever finish fencing your pastures

Did a quick Craigslist search and yes you are in cattle heaven, minis, dexters, bottle babies most going for half of what they cost here on the east coast. Even the white parks was really cheap. So envious

Wow that’s pretty cheap, I’ve seen some mini Herefords, Aberdeens, and dexters for a fair price in my area. When I’m ready I think I’m going to have to either drive pretty far or ship one to me. How did you find your sellers
