I got some goat treats from my local feed store. My goats could care less. I gave them some cheerios and it was like goat crack! So, I just want to make sure either kind of Cheerios is okay to use as a treat for my goats. Thoughts?

They are so cute! People think pigs are dirty..I am not sure where that came from. They roll in the mud to stay cool and to keep from burning since they don't sweat(I am sure you know that). They will poop in a separate area from where they eat and sleep. I think they are the cleanest of any...

I have never had "commercial" hogs. I volunteered at a place that took in some FFA hogs that the kids could not bare to have slaughtered. They were awesome. I have owned pot belly pigs as pets. They are my favorite so far. I cannot have them for some reason in my current location. I was not...

I noticed your pic was of pigs. Do you have pigs? I love them. Pigs are so super smart and highly under-rated.

My dramatic girl, Buttercup. She is so great.

Yeah Tennessee gets colder than TX. I hate being cold 🥶 but I bet the snow is beautiful. We have hot and humid weather too. Normally over 100 this time of year. I saw one of your posts about your new dwarf babies! Are you going to breed goats? Are they pets, meat or milk? Mine are just pets...

Yeah, i ambit sure my husband will be thrilled about the tin. I don't know where you are but I am in TX and it gets hot here...fast. August is the worst though this year it has been mild. We could easily use plywood instead of tin along the sides. It looks really nice. I am more concerned with...

This is awesome. Do you know the dimensions ? My husband and I decide to make a shelter for them.

That is nice! I think we are going to build something like this.

Oh good! Glad to hear that mine aren't the only ones. I felt bad at first but they are starting to get more comfortable with their new place. They are so funny! I really enjoy them.

Yeah... I thought this would work well but the issue is rain. I am wondering how to strap wood to it without water getting in. I am not sure how to cover it with putting holes in the wood and strapping it to the wire. The sides are easier to figure out than the roof. Texas gets lots of rain in...

Okay, thank you. The gate is actually on the fence, not the pen. We fenced off an area for them where the pen is so they can have their own space. The pen itself has no gate. We will make sure the gate swings in, instead of out when we open it.

I am curious what kind of shelters you have for your goats. I want my goats to be able to get out of the rain. I went into the shelter and more of it was wet than not. I feel HORRIBLE! This is what I have for them. Don't judge me, I am learning. It was an old chicken pen 8×8 or 10x10, that I...

Yeah, I do. I wipe it like he is my child. 😆. I just wanted to make sure this a normal thing similar to people and doesn't mean his eye is going to fall out... since I am a new goat mom, you know.. first time moms and all. Lol

Me and my granddaughter, Tatum chillin' with the chicks.

I know this isnt a disease or injury but anyone know what to do for eye crusties? My sweet guy Peanut get crust in the corner of his eye. Other than that his eye is beautiful. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you. The bag I have is itty bitty but that is all that I saw when I was there.

Okay thank you. I wasnt sure what to do since they have just been chillin' on the back porch lol. But I am in the process of fencing off another area where I will keep them at night which will force them to use their pen.

It's Manna Pro Goat Mineral. It was all I found at Tractor Supply. I got a salt block before you mentioned loose minerals so I went back. I was afraid I would give them too much but if I can just leave some in a bowl I will do that.

Why are minerals so confusing. Maybe it's just me..by reading the instructions on the bag says to give 1/4 to 1/2 an ounce per goat... i don't even know how to measure that out. That is such a small amount. Do you put it with pellets or by itself and hope they eat it? Some of this goat stuff...
