very cute!!

yep, just wanted to see the picture of you new zebu... I would love to have one, but with our cold winters, it wouldn't be fair for us to get one. He's very handsome!

Congratulations MissFit! Our girl has finally started showing some sign. Puffiness and slight amber drainage. Not much stretching and no tail arching, her ligs are gone. It doesn't look like the kids have dropped yet. I anticipate a few more days before they arrive. Of course...

Athletes foot treatment spray/ointment works great.

What about ring worm? (fungus, can be treated with athlete spray/ointment).

This post is no good without a photo......... seriously... :ya

She may, I know Nigerians can be bred anytime during the year. I'd give her body some time to recover before breeding again.

I picked up a beauty at the fiber expo this weekend... it's tough to get the hang of it. My first round here turned out really chunky. Not to hijack the OP thread, but once you get the spinning part down. how can you keep your yarn from expanding or relaxing the twist. I soaked this thread...

I'm sorry.......

Our girl star is due March 30th... but it felt like her ligs were gone yesterday, I could get my fingers around her tail, her udder is firming up a little more, and shes getting puffier, and holding her tail up, but not arched......... also she's been super friendly. I think she will deliver...

spent the weekend playing with my carder and drop spindle......... Haven't gotten the knack of carding yet. I think I'm either working it too much, or the wrong way . I spun some chunky yarn, double plied it, set the yarn... It's hard to know if your spinning it too much, or too little. I...

I think sticking the tongue out is normal as long as it's wrapped around the nipple... off to the side or something else may not be. Sorry you lost the doeling.... but congratulations on your little guy! Hopefully mom will be ok.

Yes, I love it when things work out! DH said go ahead and get a ram lamb! :woot this won't happen until the end of summer, but I'm excited about it. The ram won't be related to the ewe or her offspring due end of April. So, keeping fingers crossed for an ewe lamb! We've cleared up a bunch...

Do you plan on breeding him? If not, have him castrated! Cause the boys can be smelly and pushy! I believe you will also need minerals available to him. And yes, he will be lonely without another goat. He's a cute little Lamancha!

I think it also provides nutrients to the doe... :sick congrats on the doeling!

oh no missy! Sorry you lost the girl and I hope the little guy is ok... wish I could help. congrats to the others with new babies... I noticed the ligs in my girl have softened a little and I could really feel baby parts... I am worried that she may have them earlier than expected. but...

Can you tape up the over nursed teat, like every other day or something? What about separating her from him at night, milk in the am, then put them back together?

Congrats Missy!

Our little butterball... there has to be more than one in there, she's so big! Her hair is all puffed up cause it's so cold....which only adds to her hugeness!

So exciting isn't it! Congrats on your new sheep... when is the spotted ewe due?
