For sure -- when we got him back on to getting milk at 9 weeks (when he came home) it seemed to clear up some dog poo style poops we were getting.. and turn them back to berries. after each milk feeding his belly seemed to be more stable? I don't know if that's just crazy talk. The "Goat...
They did have their vaccines yup!
I was hoping to make it an enjoyable process but Carl is probably just gonna be forced if I have to do it. Lenny is the one who had more stress upset from move etc so is more who I was concerned with as Carl seems to be a bit more tolerant system wise in every...
In regards to the milk... I was told by a "local" goat lady to get milk back in his diet and then start to cut it out when he was not doing well after the move. She found that goats still getting milk older were healthier? I don't know.. ahh I am trying to figure out what I'm doing with a...
Ahh thank you -- just trying to figure out what to put the Probios on to make Carl take it. I haven't given them any treats or anything.
I was thinking just for while they are being turned out into the yard for the first few times to try out new browse etc just to support their system while it...
I wanted to introduce some powder probiotics to my kids as they start to get small amounts of time browsing and getting some in the yard time.... I have one kid who is still getting 2 ounces twice a day of goat milk but the other is fully off milk. I was going to mix probiotics into Lenny's milk...
Hahaha This is our temporary home for now --- It's completely mobile which is super exciting!!! I saved a ridiculous barn for what I'm hoping to have for next year-- then this will be to move around to different areas as shelter throughout the day.
Thank you so much!! I was a little worried...

Yup!! It was a lot of fun and my other half thinks I'm a nutter as I didn't skimp out on the crazy details: http://imgur.com/a/w4uOv Scroll down there should be a button to load more pictures-- There's a bit of a story on each of the pics as well :)
I am so proud of this project!

Hahaha Okay!!
I was just being a little worried ... and wanted to make sure!
Yup Gold and Chocolate boys! They are both so personable, snuggly, and sweet. I am so smitten and waaaaay too worried about making sure they make it to a loooong ripe old age :P
They do have loose minerals, and a block. The minerals are both cattle ones and I ordered a bag of Manna Pro from Jeffers Pet (I expected that I would find goat specific minerals in the city when I picked them up but I was very wrong... 7 farm feed stores later lol). My Jeffers Pet order should...
I'm struggling to upload photos to the forum so here is a link to an album: https://imgur.com/gallery/ntwNF
Wondering if I need to look into copper deficiency in these boys? Originally thought that the brown goat was red/gold/brown mix as his dad his red/gold but now I'm wondering if he's...
Hey everyone --- new goats arrive in just over a month and I just found a bunch of grizzly tracks behind our run. We haven't had many around in recent years.
What I want to know is what's a good electric fence option for approximately 114 linear feet of just a single hot wire to run along the...
Harnesses is what I'm going to do! Thank you @Southern
Harnesses are my plan :) I also got them some slip leads for once they are good on a leash. Thanks!
