That is the most expensive hay I have ever heard of!!:ep At my cousins (in Pennsylvania) I have been to there auction and hays is $2.00 a mixed square bale (40-47 lbs) and $3-3.50 for alfalfa. The problem is I am too young to drive & I can't get anyone to drive me that far for hay. $14 is a...
Well lots of people grow alfalfa but I am in a large (117 acre) farm in the middle of the city. That is why there are no farm stores or hay balers near me. So if I was to get some I would have to drive an hour away. :\
It was rather sudden, in about 4 days. She does pick through her feed, leaving the kelp meal but how i get her to eat it is I just put molasses on it. I do think I will try Calf Manna and give her more feed. And maybe get alfalfa. Will her backbone fill out if she gains weight? It always...
Yes, I would love to do all organic but I can't find most of the products in organic and if there were I am sure they would be very pricy. So I will just have to inform my milk customers that their milk will not be purely organic:( I could go to Southern States, but the one that is closest to me...
Okay so if I go to Tractor supply (it is 40 minutes away so I have to plan my trips) I should get alfalfa hay (would alfalfa cubes work?), beet pulp if available, and maybe Calf Manna? Tell me if I am missing anything:) Then send in a fecal, I will have to order some more goat feed soon because...
Hey, can you use horse Ivermectin for goats? I have some in the barn that is used for horses. So could I use alfalfa instead of chaffhaye? I tractor supply does not carry it and with shipping buying chaffhaye from the site is too expensive.
By the way, what are these "Trophy Points" on my...
Thanks Southern By Choice, frustratedearmother and Hens And Roos!! Never been welcomed to a site... I own 2 mini rex rabbits, named Ace and Kit. Kit is about to give birth. The goat I posted about is my registered Saanen girl, named Willow. Another one I have is a Pygmy goat dibbed Angel. She is...
Oh wait, Beekissed did you mean the dictionary definition of culling (separating from the herd) or buccaneering her? Where I live, culling is what some people say when they mean butchering. But apparently the real meaning is just to separate from the herd. sorry if I was wrong:(:oops:
I not only bought this goat as a dairy animal but she is also my personal pet and i would never dream of culling her unless absolutely necessary. I will cull my meat goat in about a week though so it is not like I am too sissy to do it. No offence, but please do not suggest that anymore:) thank...
She may have had a reaction to another ing. in the bottle but I dont know. She got runny eyes, runny nose, and dierrea. I though it was coincidental that she got sick but it has happened the past 3 time she got a dose. And it is not moldy or anything because I wormed my other goats with the same...
She is nearly 8 years old but when she was younger she did give 1.25+ gallons a day. And I do know a lot about herbs and there toxicity. I have researched and own many books on it. Thank you again!:)
Thank you!! And I will expliane more in detail her feeding routine. It is pretty complicated.
MORNING:
1 lb goat feed
2.5 g probiotic powder
1-2 teaspoons Molly's herbals dietary supplement
1 tbs. Molly's herbals wormer (only on Mondays because it is a preventive)
sometimes a vitamin A...
