we finally gave up :'( after she attacked a goat who got to close to her food, and she pinned our weenie dog and had her by the throat, shaking her. We found someone who had no other dogs, had experience and time. I was worried a small child could have been next.

she was 6-7 months when we got her, now she's 8-9. 75-80 lbs and wild from day one. Two months of trying every day, talking coaxing, hand feeding, trying to earn trust. What really scares us, the kids can walk up to her, she seems to trust them somewhat. They can't really pet her. Today she...

we can take her food, no problem, she runs from her food as soon as we come. its other animals. And I cant get her inside anywhere. She won't even go into the open goat shed.

I understand what your saying. BUT I can't interact with her, at all! I can't pet her, touch her, nothing. I have been trying to, there is no tie to us for her. Only to the goats. I really love this dog, and want her as family but she's so far out and doesn't want us. Now she feels like a stray...

Yes, that's Waylon and Willie, our good very watchful, but flighty older dog, and our puppy in training.

What is normal 3-4 day old kid poop supposed to look like?

we left them there while we were at a b-day party. We came home to them sleeping, covered with chicks! Talk about a cute fest! Tomorrow they will stay inside with us. Not sure how long they will be happy in this box. Are they ok on the pine shavings?

So I did lots of reading about goats. Got lots of advice from my MIL, who ran a goat farm for a long time. But I never expected to be raising 2 day old babies with no mom. We have them in a box in the house over night. We take them outside a few times a day. How old should they be before we let...

I tried twice yesterday, but they just don't like the bottle. They drink the bowl great! So I guess I'll just let them drink that way.

My newest kids are 2 day old twins. Their mom died in birth, after not giving birth to the 3 kid. The owner had went to bed not knowing there was a third. Next morning, he found them and gave them milk from another mom, but let them drink out of a bowl. I got them home this afternoon, I can't...

Here's our twin Nubians, 2 days old. They refuse to bottle feed, they have been letting them just drink from a bowl

Our 4 acres has 4x4 square fence, with 2-3 layers of barbed wire around 2 sides, no barbed wire around the other two. But one is by the dirt road, and she stays away from there, for now :he once I repaired the downed barbed wire, she did stop jumping that fence. But I really dislike that wire.
