Pecking order is real and that is what is going on. I ensure enough room, shade, shelter, food, water, etc. so one being bullied can get enough to eat and rest apart from bully. Try not to separate unless real damage is being done as they will start over when put together. Momma cows would...

Patti Dean did fudge at Willow Run. Would that be something you could do? We use CIP, DeLavel and bulk tank with the cows. The old bulk tank had to be hand scrubbed. I have been looking at a made in China on eBay.

Thank you! They are a pair, I think Rita is going to think she is LGD when she grows up. George is very patient with her. Right now she is a wild child, coming in only to eat and sleep at night. But, when weather gets cold she will shift into a house pig, I am sure. That is when I really...

What milking machine set up are you using? :) I ask because I am considering buying one. I will only be milking about a dozen. Can you do ice cream and frozen yogurt? I used to make frozen yogurt for those less lactose tolerant family members. Being able to store for up to a year...

Hello from eastern Tennessee, USA! Wow! Taming wild sheep, bet that will be interesting. When I was younger I kept Katahdin hair sheep and Border Collies. We had a local group that would train and attend trials. Lot of fun! My grandmother used to tell me how folks used salt to keep their...

With his being 12, could be degenerative arthritis in spine, impacting nerves to leg. No way to test conclusively for MW.

If you have enough goats that they feel secure they are all pretty quiet. My Nubians only talk if something is wrong and a bit when I milk. The chickens and geese make way more noise than goats! Separate babies from momma, yes, they scream bloody murder. Or if you only have a couple of...

A lot of cheeses are made with skim, so low fat. Cottage cheese, mozzarella are two I make with skim. I make a lot of yogurt and let it drain to make cheese. Are you using goat or cow milk?

Welcome!

It is the clostridium portion of vaccine that causes swelling tenderness. No matter where you inject, it will cause painful swelling. She should be ok in a few days. To avoid injection site abscess: Always use a new needle for each injection. Do not inject wet skin/hair. Try to always place...

Am I reading correctly that the thin ewe had deer Menegeal worm? Nothing treats menegeal worm once it is in spine/brain.

So sad for you. It sure hurts.

Have you ever butchered before?

Amazing! You are so blessed to have such opportunity, thank you for posting!

First, welcome! Polled Hereford, Angus, and Jersey girl here. I would pick like any other breed- read up on breed standard. Ask breeder how they decide what heifers to keep to year old and what gets culled out of herd. Lot of people have Highland here and I have noticed they do not seem to...

Woooohoooooo, what a loverly bunch of coconuts!!! Everywhere you look, pretty, pretty! Black goats have a special place in my heart, too. But they are hard to photograph. I never could do them justice. If I could keep a second breed, it probably would be Lamancha. Good luck at show...

Nice boy!! Lovely udder on does!!!

Well, goats are certainly in your genetics! Did you see her huge 'cart' goat? I think he was a LaMancha wether and he was freakishly big!!! Our public libraries have computers that you can use...does Ohio?? You could get printout of attachment, or go to Co-op website.

BTW your buck has a full sister that is already registered. Mockingbird Meadows Willow.

This should get you started.
