The girls were helping me remove dirty shavings and replace with clean ones today. I will buy some straw tomorrow. And add to shavings. :) I'm loving this goat mom life!!!

I'm so thankful for all of the information and friendly folks on this site!!!! I'd be lost without you.

Hello friends, I want to keep my new girls warm and clean this winter!! What is best for barn floor?! Straw or shavings or both? Should I give them blankets or beds or will they just chew on them? I want the best place for them. Right now they have shavings. Thank you for your help!!!

Thank you for setting my mind at ease!!! :)

That worries me!!!

Hello all. North Stonington CT here. Anyone have a great vet recommendation?! Thank you. :) I'm a proud new mommy to 2 bred does due in mid March...allegedly. :)

Measuring my gals tonight was not easy solo... Loose estimates are Ginger 22 inches and Nutmeg 19 inches. I will try again when I have a helper. Again I am so thankful for all of you. Does anyone else fight the urge to bring them into the house and snuggle them?! Lol

I admit I loved hugging and holding mine!!!

Thank you so much. I am definitely learning and appreciate the help and questions. I guess I just feel like I should have asked the breeder more questions at pick up since he's not answering my emails now. Thank you for the kind words. I'm just so nervous about not doing right by them. I love...

4+ means greater than 50 eggs or parasites. I think he gave 1 ml of ivomec.

Hello friends. I just got fecal back from lab. Strongyle eggs 4+ the breeder gave them ivomec on Sunday. Any suggestion I'm looking for a vet in my area... Thank you.

I will measure them tonight. And re weigh them. It was a challenge as I was using my bathroom scale.. Lol. I have no idea who sire was..he said it was a small blue eyed tri that was very calm. He said it was a closed herd. Apparently I didn't ask the right questions :(

That's what I was told. He said he's breeding them to be very small.

So, today I weighed the girls....Ginger is 53 pounds and Nutmeg is 33. Do these sound like good weights for does that are supposed to kid in mid march!? Thank you all for your help!!!!
