Yes very true, they do prefer leaves, plants etc. over grass but i dont have very much money right now (I don't work so have no real income, I'm too young) and bushes or the like would probably cost a lot. I am pretty sure the soil around here is more acidic. Once i accidentally spilled some...
Well I was milking her, but dried her up a week ago. I think i might breed her again, but if not she is just my pet. I have kept her pretty clear of everything she might react to, and other than that she is a pretty healthy goat. My other goats are for meat/breeding only.
Thanks! Do you know what is the safest pesticide? My older goat is REALLY sensitive, and if she reacts to something she'll break out in blisters.:( Like she even reacts to SafeGaurd dewormer. I normally am all organic/natural kind of person, but i see there is no way to get rid of these without...
Hey everyone. I have a small padock for my 2 goats... probably a little under 1/2 acre. It is on a hill, and on the upper side i have horrible trouble with pepperweed. Incase you dont know what that is its a really annoying stocky plant that eat all the nutrients from the soil never seems to go...
Hi! I want to get my rabbit timothy pellets, but cant find any that are just timothy. I would consider it a balanced diet because she get about 2-3 cup of dandelions a day, and those are really nutritious and would nearly complete her diet.

I love that! Now that is a catchy name! How do you make lotion? I have tried but it was really bad. Or at least i think the recipe was. It was super oily because the only 2 ingredients were coconut oil and beeswax.:\
By the way I just realized the word Feo in Spanish means ugly.:mad: I did not...
Thanks all!:D
Here are some pics of my soaps but they dont look very good because the drying shelf i built is right next to the AC, and that cools them very fast making them look dusty.
You did it again!:) You are making a website? What will it be called? I would love to see it when you are done. I am also in the prosses of making a small website, to sell my soap etc. and to tell the ridiculous stories of my animals. It is called The Milking Stand and I hope to be finished and...
UPDATE: My goat is doing great. Thanks you guys for telling me to up he feed intake, I think it really helped. I would guess she has gained 7+ pounds and slowly more.
Oh my, I DID NOT know that my thread is the featered one of BYH!!!!!! I am so red right now.... I can't believe it! :th:hide:oops: Gosh, I've got a famous goat! She is doing good though and her milk is not going down anymore.
Thank you for making me famous ;):D
Thank you! :) yes, I am the one with the skinny goat but I have got lots of great tips so I think she is going to be alright. You should totally get goats! They are really fun and very productive.
Thanks!:) Yes, she always has hay available. The Chaffhaye is not anywhere near here so sadly I won't be able to try it. I will send in the fecal sometime before Wednesday.
Okay, I just ordered 50 lbs of goat feed, 50 lbs of alfalfa pellets, and I will go to Tractor Supply to get beet pulp on Tuesday. I decided to get beet pulp because I have had success with my horse gaining weight with it, and is very high in fiber and calories. So if in total she is supposed to...
