Usually a dogs bad behavior is because of the person not because of the dog. No training, not enough exercise, no consistency or attention, abuse mishandling. AND there are a lot of dogs in the shelters because people didn't realize they were going to get that big, they get lazy and don't want...

Thank u Southern for your well thought out reply. I completely agree with everything you said. I only found one person who has started really developing this breed. Everyone else is just breeding the two together for a quick buck.And knowing me when the time comes for a new house companion I'll...

Cute babies! Sorry, you lost your Flower.

Thank you everyone for your support. It really does help to talk to other goat people. Everyone else just thinks I'm crazy for not going to the grocery to buy my milk like the rest of the world. :idunno

So, I've been doing research on the web about different dog breeds. I love dogs but my boyfriend hates the hair. So, my search turns to dog breeds that shed less. Turns out there is this "designer dog" poodle mix that would be a nice fit. However, I am a firm believer in adopting a pound puppy...

Well its done. I bawled my eyes out the whole way home. Even tho I did everything I could I still feel like I failed her. I'm sorry, Strawberry.

she has an appointment inabout a week and a half. :(

Taking my first goat to butcher next week. How would you typically have a goat cut?

She hasn't had any wormers or antibiotics in about a month if not longer. Only an external ointment on her hind end.

From everything I've read the meat is safe. Unless it's internal CL is only on the hide. It may sound bad but I would feel better if she didn't go to waste.

What about just taking her to the butcher?

I have asked for all kinds of her for my mini-nubian Strawberry but after finding a second CL absess on her in the 3 months that I've had her and the sores on her hind end that won't heal I've decided it is probably best just to put her down. I don't want to give her someone else and perpetuate...

they are trying little buggers aren't they? I have one chicken who insists on laying in the buck stall. So, I have to try and keep the boys from knocking open door to get to the girls, keep the girls from getting to the boys, and keep all eggs and my sanity intact at the same time.

I cook with deer all the time. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought beef at the store. We usually slice the loin then bread and fry them. I will marinade in Dale's first. I also just made a wonderful stew. Made it just like beef stew only marinaded the meat again in Dale's. Have made...

I think I may take her to vet Thursday. Sore mouth is only supposed to last 4 weeks right? And she has had it the whole time I've had her with no signs of it clearing up.

She has been by herself since I got her two months ago. No one I have nor her pervious home has horns. It is not discharge. They are sores. She is eating and acting normal. This girl has been quite the mess since I got her. She has been wormed with safeguard and ivomec plus, had a cyst on her...

It's been like this since I got her two months ago. I've tried cleaning it and spraying with blu-kote. There was some pink on the rag. I thought that was goat pellets that were sticking to her, but upon closer examination they appear to be scabs. I've taken care of all of her other medical...

Lancing was very traumatic for all three of us. I was too big of a sissy to cut into it, the concrete slab was killing my boyfriends knees, and poor Straberry was shaking like a leaf. So, he and I switched places, I held, he cut and Strawberry continued to cry and shake. She wouldn't let me near...

It seems like lately it is always something. One doe has a big gash in her side. I've been treating for weeks now and finally seems to be healing up. I think it was self inflicted because I isolated her and it got bigger. Ended up having to wrap her up to where it looks like she is wearing a...

If she Is positive. I plan on breeding her to my buck, keep one of her girls(hopefully) and give her away to someone who already gas a CL positive hers and would want her. I really hate to. She us such a sweet girl.
