    Vaccine lumps

    It's completely normal, caused by the CD&T. That's why we give CD&T IM instead of SQ...I HATE bumps and blemishes. Certain brands cause them more than others. Also certain antibiotics can cause them, like Agrimycin...for one.

    She is constantly making niose!!

    My goats are quiet as long as they're happy. Run out of hay? LOUD. Want breakfast? LOUD. Want milked? LOUD. Are you keeping hay out even though they have browse? This might help. There was a little round table in the barn at a show recently between some of us seasoned people...

    help me troubleshoot my electric fence please!

    Buckling has abnormal horn after disbudding-Advice needed please!

    I would seek a vet, that looks really bad... It also looks a bit like the horn is growing back on the other side.

    Goat Chow?
