OK!!! Here's the verdict.
After talking with the guy selling the goat, who was very honest by the way, he doesn't know much about her. He hasn't had her for very long and doesn't know if she has trouble kidding, nursing kids, or if she will go on a stand... or if she's milkable. She looks nice...
We're planning on sending a deposit on her this weekend once we get a chance to look her over and ask some important questions (like those posed by ksj0225). I was able to do some research and found some information on her Dam and Sire. Most of the reference pages with actual pictures for other...
I ran across an ad on craigslist for a Nubian doe. Here is a copy of the ad.
I talked to the seller and the only reason he's listing her is because he wants another doe that is not so closely related to the rest of his does. She's bred to a spotted Nubian buck and due 3/21. She's ADGA...
Compared to the litter I had born on 12/8, that puppy looks a lot smaller. So, I would agree that he's younger than what they said. Has he been wormed? If he's wormy, it could be why he's not growing well.
I give him a good start, continue with the goat milk, but you'll probably want to...
You could probably use a dog sweater pattern and modify it slightly. Boys will need a hole to pee out of, of course. I could try to make one as a tester?
I don't know how far you want to drive, but I saw an ad for Herefords (a rare breed) listed on the Wilmington Craigslist today. They caught my eye and I'm not even a pig person.
I'm so sorry to hear about your doe. Could she have been choking on something? I know you don't really want to think about it much as this point, but maybe we can help you figure this out so we'll all know for the future.

Ok, I know it's been a while, but it's been a WEEK. Hubby started out with gastroenteritis (aka food poisoning), went back to work 1 day, then wake up early the next morning with kidney stones. Passed the kidney stones, but ended up with kidney infection. Good grief. You know how men can be when...
They have mostly Alpines with a few Nubians and LaManchas mixed in. Could it be that their bucks are kept in close proximity to the does? They share a fence between the pastures and a stall in the barn.
