As with the shots, I do not know how to do fecal either. I would like to know if they need worming or if those things work. As for the CD&T I found at TSC, there are three different bottles. Does it matter which I get?

Thanks, I found it at TSC but I didn't know if that was what I needed. What other vaccines are necessary? Do they need rabies vaccines? I am not entirely sure how to give vaccines myself, so I'll need advice. I'm not sure what tests I need, I've just heard you need to have your herd tested for...

Hi, it is time for Bonnie, Clyde, Bobo, and Scout to be dewormed. My go to place is Tractor Supply, and would like to know what to get for them and how much to give them? Not many companies make dosages for such small goats. My biggest billy is 21 inches at the shoulder, if that helps. Do i use...

They don't seperate any of their cows or purposely breed them. They spend more time with their crops and family than the cows, the cows are practically nonexistent to them. They grow their own hay so they barely spend a penny on those cows, so they have no reason to care for them for their worth...

I am working on finding a big roll of hay, but I don't know anyone close that actually owns a farm. Most people choose a single animal and raise it, like they will have 30 or so goats in their yard or three- horses. They don't really need help around the farm. I'll keep checking though. My...

Oh no I'm so sorry :(:hit:hugs I've lost a kid before too and I know how it feels. I hope others are doing well

I found some calf bottles at Tractor Supply and it won't be too hard to go there and buy one of those. We don't have any farm auctions or flea markets any closer than Jacksonville and that is about two hours away. Not worth the drive, because everyone in Florida way overprices their stuff from...

Yes, I've experienced spoiled animals, disciplined animals, and even, sadly, abused animals. As for money, it is definitely an issue. 60-75 dollars shouldn't be too bad but it is still really expensive following a lower-middle class South Georgia family. We have enough to get us and my animals...

They charge about 25 dollars just to join FFA, and more later to have any part in it. I know what you mean about spoiling them and I know the line between unkind and reasonable. I have just seen the teachers in the Ag building and they were just throwing their pigs around. They would put the...

When my Bonnie was ready to kid, she made a little dirt hole with her paws and slowly rolled around in it both births before the baby started coming. The second time she was all over the place. It took her about 45 minutes to deliver from when labor started. The baby was very healthy though, and...

I have been looking into 4-H, and there is an FFA dpt. in my school, but they charge money that we don't have to join. I've never seen any of the teachers around, (plus they don't seem very kind at all with their animals so I wish not to associate), and the only person I know who raises cows is...

I'm not entirely sure of the purpose of the cows so I have no idea why they have any of them. They don't butcher, they don't milk, and they aren't pets. I think it is just because my Aunt's near death father raised them as both when he was in good health amd wishes to have them around until he...

The reason they keep her is because she is their friendliest cow and can't bear to just send her off somewhere My phone was dead when I was at the farm so i didnt get pictures but once I get the calf I will definitely have some. I asked them to let me know as soon as the calf was born so I...

Yeah I had to give up milking her because she was kicking and screaming bloody murder and that's all I came back with. This was when her kid was stillborn so all I had to milk was enough not to hurt her

That's the thing, having a farm is busy work and it's just the two of them so they couldn't bottle feed the babies themselves and mamma kept rejecting them. They said the calves lived about a day or two, and once one lived five days at the most but they found her dead too. I am a bit cautious as...

I recently visited my Uncle's farm, in which he has about 25-30 cows + a bull. I stated that I wanted a milk calf to bottle raise, and they told me that they will give me one for free but can't promise what gender it will be. Reason being, they have one crazy cow that births every year but...

Pygmies also, but they have a very small amount of milk. You get them if you want just one glass a day, well more like 2/3 of a glass haha. Even when my Bonnie looked like she was about to bust, all the milk the gave me filled up one small bowl. Ugh but milking her was a pain because even though...

I recently discovered how beautiful pheasents are, and would like to get a few. What are the benefits of them? Do I want them? Convince me please

She's four years old, I got her when she was about 8 months. She didn't have that when I got her, but she never showed signs of injury. It just showed up slowly without an obvious cause

My Bonnie, ever since I got her, has had a white hazy pocket on top of her left eye. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it, but it's obvious she can't see much out of it. When at the vet for her ultra sound, Dr. Gibson said he doesn't know what it is but she definitely can't see out of the...
