OK SO WHEN WE FIRST GOT OUT HOUSE 8 YEARS AGO, THE SELLER WAS LIKE, YEAH THE POKEBERRY GROWS STRONG HERE, JUST GET SOME GOATS AND CLEAR IT UP. AGAIN, NEIGHBOR: OH YEAH, IT GROWS BACK THERE WILDLY, JUST GET SOME GOATS. WE LOOKED IT UP: "YEAH MY GOATS LOVE POKEBERRY". WE GOT OUR GOATS, GAVE THEM...
I get some orchard grass down at Farmers feed & seed for $8. It's Timothy grass and Orchard grass mixed, but our seller always calls it "orchard grass" So that's what we call it. Highly recommend it, but, I'm not sure if it's the seller or the seller's supplier, but it seems to get some straw in...
I'm sincerely sorry about your buck, and about the money it coast. We have weathers, and our family friend who has Nigerians,does and bucks, and the same type of fencing, have never had any problems, as far as weathers and does go. He has had 2 bucks escape over the past few years, but Bucks...
Yes, you assumed right, we don't have bucks. But, we aren't talking about bucks. I had not said anything about it being buck safe. I said it worked great for wethers, and my opinion along with a friend of the family who has bred Nigerians Pygmies and Boers for years and years, agrees that Pygmy...
Also, Let us know when you get your NDs! I'm getting one nigerian doe to milk by the end of summer. My dad let me get two pygmies for my birthday after maybe 4 years of convincing. I got them so i'd have experience with goats before jumping into the milking world, and i'd recommend giving this...
We have some fencing that works Awesome. the gaps are about 3in in hight and 1 inch in width.
Ours isn't beautiful, but to be fair, it's roughly 9 nears old.. Gone threw some stuff.
The goats have never escaped. They have never gotten their horns stuck in it, and if you wanted, you could run...
Hey, u was wondering if anyone had ever heard of putting bug repellent on goats?...
This morning i noticed a lot of mosquitoes flies and gnats buzzing and annoying Grover and Castiel...
We have some bug spray (for humans) that usually works pretty well, and if it worked even a little bit for...
Awww! They are absolutely draw dropping! Sorry this took so long, i went to a third world camp in Florida and did some volunteering, mostly painting houses, digging fences for local farms, helped some elders move their house belongings, roofed some houses, stuff like that.
Love your goats!
Thats a very stunning doe you got there!!!
There's two pictures of when i first got them (when there huddled in the corner) and Now (When they're out foraging) Sorry for the blurriness :[
My profile pic was taken somewhere in between the two.
I'll start :)
Something i've learned first-hand about raising goats: Your never prepared for whats next. Whether or not your new to goats, or you where raised with goats all your life, You can't ever be sure of what'll happen next. Having goats in your life is a constant roller coaster, You'll...
SO........... my little sister and i where talking about how i may be a helicopter parent with my goats, and jokingly, i put a floaty that was right by, on Grover, one of my goats... He responded with an immediate dash, and it took 13 minuets to catch him. When i finally got it off, he sat there...

My plan is to start with a basic...
Hi, :welcome

My weathers are Grover (brown&black) And, Castiel (Cas for short), (white&black), Grover was named after a satyr in the Percy Jackon And The Olympians book series..
Cas was named after my favorite character in my favorite show, Supernatural... I call...
Well, As far as getting her to go into their pen, My pygmy goats won't go in unless i have some Purina Goat chow in my hands. I take them in, set the chow on their bench (Any bowl or flat surface will do) and as they eat, i sneak out and lock the gate, and by the time their finished i am inside...
