This may sound stupid but back in my weight lifting fitness days if I needed to quickly pack on a few pounds I'd head down to GNC and buy a thing of weight gainer. It won't help with why they're under weight and I don't know how much protein vs carbs vs fat calories livestock need but 900...

We had Californian/NZ cross we decided to put an add on Craigslist and butcher whatever didn't sell. We ended up not having any for the freezer for almost a year they sold so well. From my experience most ppl buying them as pets didn't care about the breed but really wanted rabbits with...

Not sure if it will make them sick ours seems to eat right around it but there's only a couple small goats with several acres of grass/forage to choice from. I will say if you have a lot now you'll have even more later that stuff spreads like fire

10-4 thanks for the info I guess I'm going to go ahead and hook the goats up then. The sheep are on their own until I can build some sort of corral to catch them. Any pics of your Dall sheep? Our herd sire from the looks of him is St. Croix/Jacobs and who knows what else but he has 2 horns on...

Basically we have a herd of pretty much feral sheep milk goats and one remaining Boer goat. I'd love to see them as sustainable as possible so I don't want them dependent on chemical wormers but we just can't afford to let nature have its way. I guess my question is if worm them now will I...

Thanks I'm not exactly tech savvy and I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate these things

Does anyone know if using a chemical dewormer like cydectin will mess up a goat/sheep's natural ability to fight off parasites in the future?
