Right now I have a Remington. Yes, for heavy duty work (show trims, etc), you gotta jump in the deep end and buy a good pair, but for the little stuff, the beard trimmers are fine. And at $10 to $20, who really cares if you have to replace them yearly?? It would take 15-20 years to pay for a...

You know what works really well? Those $10 rechargeable beard trimmers for men at Wal Mart...great for shaving heads before disbudding, too. AND you can hand them to your significant other with the nose hair remover tip on them when the need arises :lol:

Your first quote here irritates me...show goats and home dairy goats should be kept and milked by the same standard, and our show goats are also all our pets - so that comment just doesn't make a difference. Edited to Add: Your quote irritates me IN GENERAL, not just because you said it. Sooo...

Mine won't eat ANYTHING wet LOL...and cubes are too big for goaties. Nicki has more patience than I do, kudos to her for getting them to eat something soaked!

It might...refer back to my older post on your thread here.

:th please tell me you're not referring to the sevin?? And you do realize you're supposed to use food grade DE for deworming??

Where did I say it would dry off? Do a little more research into the way mammary cells produce milk and what causes them to either increase or decrease production, and what signals them to stop producing all together. BTW a 12 hour fill should be standard. Allow more than 18 hrs, and you're...

I strongly disagree. That will actually cause that side to produce even less. The only thing you can really try is milking the smaller half 3-4 times a day, to see if asking it for more will revitalize it....unlikely though.

My bottle babies have a grain holder in front of them from the start...it's just 'there' should they want to try it. If, by a few weeks old, they're not trying it, I will put an older baby that is eating well in the bottle baby stall to 'teach' them about hay and grain. Monkey see, monkey do!

It could have been that, in the very beginning, the kids mainly nursed one side and the other side reduced production right away. It's usually pretty impossible to keep an udder even when kids have had anything to do with it. One of the does I'm showing right now had her triplets for only 24...

:hugs I'm so sorry. We've had to put down two adult does this spring (medical issues) and it's just heart wrenching. My heart goes out to you, you've given her everything you could. :hugs

:thumbsup

Beautiful babies AND photography!:clap

Actually, down in the SE, AGS is really out of style - there are NO shows and no one really cares about that registration. ADGA is the site to search. There are a TON of Nigerians in Florida, a TON.

Yep, you betcha. Now that we have the milking machine, we can keep a larger # of does in milk for the shows!:D

Do not supplement with B complex or Thiamine when using CoRid! If you do, you're completely nullifying the whole action of the CoRid, which inhibits Thiamine in order to kill the protozoan. I've used CoRid for several years as a part of my cocci treatment protocol at VERY high doses and it has...

Added a few photos!

We took every Grand and Reserve available to the Nigerians at the show :celebrate OA Princess Wolfgang was GCH ND Milker HM RS Pigeon was RCH ND Milker HM F Hannah's Last **one of the preemies and not even 2 mos old** was GCH ND Junior HM BBB Tambora was RCH ND Junior HM F Flame's...

Packing to leave for the show, will update when we get home!

There's just something about her frame...but like I said, get 10 lbs on her and she'll look entirely different. Spanish blood is very evident in some of the "pygmies" you find in the southern states, especially - you can really see it in the bucks (especially the horned bucks) and the does tend...
