So sorry for your loss, so proud of your children. This thread had me holding my breath. I am thinking about breeding but not sure if I'm strong enough to handle all you have been through!!! Good luck and thank you for sharing!!!

Happy Easter my friends, Ginger and Nutmeg are doing great and since they did not give us any babies..we decided to purchase some!! Last weekend we went to view a closed/tested herd and came home with two beautiful 8 week old does and two handsome 8 week wethers.. We are keeping them separate...

So I can buy more!!!!!!

She is parasite free... I will do another fecal and try some alfalfa. Thank you. :)

Hi all, my name is Heather and I am addicted to goats!!! I love my girls so much. I'm debating purchasing more this week!!!! I need more!!! :)

I'm feeding Noble goat to try and fatten up a skinny goat (purchased this way) but its been hard. Many have said its difficult to fatten them during the winter!! Any suggestions?! She's getting about 2 to 3 cups daily and all the hay she wants. Fecal and worming done also. Thank you all.

This means so much to me. Thank you. I'm so nervous and just want my girls to be the happiest and healthiest they can be!!! I'm so thankful to you all for the coaching :) I'd be a wreck without this site and my awesome vet!!! :) lol :)

So far the bitter apple seems to be helping, I just need to remember to reapply frequently. I have yet another question?!? When Ginger and Nutmeg see my dogs..ginger will head butt the fence and stomp... Then Nutmeg will head butt her mom (Ginger) and then go up on her back legs.. And then get...

Thank you all!! As a newbie I am trying to understand all of this craziness!!! I am going to wait and be a goat mommy to the two I have. I'm not ready to spend another $500.00 on more goats when I still have no clue what I'm doing!! Lol. I am trying my best to learn and provide the best for...

Thank you so much. :)

I'll have to ask about best,, I know he keeps his heard by color choice and small size. The doe kidded in oct and is now probably bred again... He reports. The reason I offered less is because I purchased two bred does in nov from him and nothing was found on ultrasound...also all the goats...

Yes im so sorry. I'm terribly all over the place. I haven't decided what to do yet and we haven't agreed on a price. Just figured I'd try for as many opinions as I could before jumping in and agreeing to buy them.. He wasn't 100% that wife was convinced to sell.. I think this is why he gave a...
