We're 2.5 hours away. We're just outside of Chestertown.

Here are pics after shearing! Bean (right): Bean is second from left, Barley is on the right. Barley

She may be CAE positive, so testing her for that would be a good idea. You could also try some warm compresses and peppermint oil and see if that helps, or she may just not be letting down for you. In that case, do lots of udder massage when you milk and see if that triggers let down.

I'm pretty sure I'm skipping it this year. :/ My sister has come up from NC the past 2 years to go with me, but this year I think we're just going to hang out at my house. It's a good hour and a half drive, and we're usually wiped out by the end of the day!

How serious are you about wanting them? Because I could hold them for you until the truck gets going, or maybe we could work out delivery or something. I know I tease you a lot about having them, but I dont' want to pressure you! :)

I'm selling my crossbred Romney/Southdown ewes. These girls are crossed with standard Southdowns, NOT babydolls. They're 2 years old, natural colored. Very nice girls, I just have limited space and have chosen to raise purebred Southdowns. I'd like $125 each. Let me know if there are any...

Keep an eye on her temp for a few days just in case. 103.3 is a tad high. It should be more like 101 or maybe even 102. Glad the dex helped!

I would recommend talking to people who are doing what you want to do. Go visit their farms, talk to them about what is involved, see their daily routine, talk about inspections, etc.

Her temp is high. I'd consider treating her with antibiotics because something isn't normal for her to be having a temp of 104! Colostrum is actually only produced a few days before kidding, so she should have normal milk in her udder before that. Sounds like there is a problem. Normal goat...

So cute! I thought that first picture was a lamb, and I was really trying hard to figure out what I was looking at. :lol: Then I read they were rabbits.

I also leave mine together, and at 12 weeks had no pregnant does.

Cute pics!! You know what's missing? Natural colored sheep in your flock! ;) :D :lol:

:hit I'm so, so sorry. Losing a beloved dog is the worst! :hugs

Have you been able to call a vet and ask if they have Bovi-sera? What is his temperature? What exactly does the diarrhea look like? His stool should be soft, not pellets. If it's watery then that's diarrhea, but if it's pudding like that's normal. Here's what I would do: Stop giving the...

What kind of milk replacer is he on? If he's on some "all species" milk replacer or something cheap, switch him over to an all-milk protein good quality one.

I think it's a little too early for this lamb to have cocci. I'd recommend taking him to the vet and asking them to do an intraperitoneal dextrose injection. What do you mean he has no temp? Do you mean no fever? All animals have a temperature. What exactly is his? If he's hypothermic...

Different strokes for different folks. I'd rather go with the disease that is not transmissible to humans at all and is easily preventable. :)

Sorry, that's a bummer. It has been a bad year for pneumonia!

I'd treat him with antibiotics and give him electrolytes. Hold off on the milk for a few feedings and just give electrolytes only. If his temperature is below normal, do not give any milk. I'd take him away and put him on a heating pad, or if his temp is only slightly below normal put a heat...

I'd just put them together and let them work it out. Maybe make 2 feeding areas so they can both eat if they don't get along (so one doesn't bully the other). At this age, the kid is big enough to get out of the way if the other doe doesn't like her. ETA: Sorry, can't help with the husband...
