I'm loving their color! They look like cookies and cream ice cream. :P

I'm sure he's a nice guy, but there is another GP rescue group that evaluates what type of home and farm their GPs will do best with. If you want their info, PM me.

Most of the "good" purebred sheep I have seen are located around the NC/VA state line. Here are the ones I can see listed today. I'm not sure if they are exactly what you are looking for, but they are a start. http://eastnc.craigslist.org/grd/2405549309.html...

Don't feel bad... this person looks like they are having the same issue. http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=507358&p=7

From what I can find, ringworm makes the hair break off at the base of the shaft. The red spots almost looks like mange like dogs get. You don't think it could be scrapie, do you?

Welcome, also from NC! :frow We are located about a hour drive from the coast.

Thanks! :D I've only seen pictures of the Lamancha, so the Nubians gals are going to be surprises.

They won't eat the eggs, but like TigerLilly said, they will eat chicken feed. Since chicken feed is not nutritionally correct for goats, you could have some problems.

Are they considered to be a hair sheep? They look so much like wild game I would be afraid they would get claimed by a hunter.

The pink bags were introduced in October of 2010, so they could be that old at the oldest... maybe a little older depending on how long Purina took to bag it up originally.

We got the news today that our 2 Nubian Doelings and our Lamancha doeling will be weaned and ready to come home in the next 2-3 weeks! I'm so excited about having new babies again that I can't hardly sit still. I'm excited mostly because I know once the baby (our human baby) is born in November...

I'll let you know in about 18 months. :lol: That's an experimental cross we'll be doing as well.

If that's the case, I would guess she would be due in mid-July.

Holy Moley! :th I think I would have killed that goat. I agree that some electric fencing will help. We have the kind that is designed to keep bulls in the fence and it works very well. *evil laugh*

I would take her if we were a little closer to you. Hopefully her owner will come looking for her.

I tried DE on our goats and chickens and you might as well feed them flour. It doesn't do a thing. Now, Molly's Herbals DOES work.

Agreed. If you have think of just the month or week she broke loose, that narrows things down considerably. Here's a goat gestation calculator for you to play with: http://www.goatbiology.com/animations/gestcalculator.html

He would probably be tough after all that running around. :lol: We had a doe that was about the same way when we first got her as a 4 month old doeling. It took over a year to get her where I could actually put my hands on her. Now, she's 3 and I can go right up to her and scratch and pet her...

DONE!!! We put him on the stand and held him down, which seemed to work pretty well. One side needed the figure 8 done and the other just needed a circle, which was actually the biggest scur. We'll keep an eye on it to see if that solved the scur issue or if we need to make a touch up in a few...
