    Urgent: Trouble bottle-feeding new baby goats

    How tramatic is it for the goats to get them to drink? At that age, when they looked so calm chewing cuds and all, not sure it is necessary to stress them out trying to make them drink. Just a thought.

    Size at 5 months??

    I am going to say they didn't grow from lack of food. We went in on three babies one year with some friends, they had them at their place and for some reason one of them didn't get to eat much, so we went and got her and kept her at our place all by herself, and by fall she was huge! So they...

    Let's Look at our Different Feeding Practices *GOATS*

    LOL sometimes I just wonder if we are creating more problems than we are fixing by all the "stuff" we feed them, of course I do not have two gallon a day milkers either, that could be a big difference and we freeze hard in the winter and have dry summers so the worm load is not as bad as other...

    Let's Look at our Different Feeding Practices *GOATS*

    Boy do I feel stupid! My poor goats get pasture and grass mix hay, loose minerals and kelp. When I milk they get a little three way mix, thats it. So far all my goats are healthy and shiny, of course I expect that to change now after reading all the things you all feed your goats. Hope no...

    Kelp

    I think organic means WE did not add chemicals directly to the growing produce or animal or whatever. What is already in the ground or water??? Good question.

    Processing Goat Question

    For those who do their own goat processing, do you have to hang and age the meat before cutting and wrapping or do you kill, chill and cut and wrap? I always thought you hung everything to age some, found out today no need to do that with pork, so, do I need to hang my goat? I have one that...

    We have raised turkeys a number of times, one year we didn't butcher one of our BBB's not sure why, but he lived with the chickens all winter, then the next summer he free ranged our yard and was very tame. We called him Chuck and he lived with us until he died of old age around 5 years old...

    New Buckling

    I have three Nubians for him, I really wanted to keep my Nubians Nubians and Guernseys Guernseys, not Nubians/Guernseys, but either way I am set now. I will probably eventually have a Nubian/Guernsey, but not if I can help it. He is a very sweet little guy..
