So to answer my question and for other looking for this information. After 12-24 hours, the scrotum will get cold and hard. It will continue over time to get smaller and fall off in about 30 days give or take a few. goats maybe pissy for a couple days but should quickly get over it and be...

Our vet said Either she comes out or we band them. They also got CDT 3 months ago

We just acquired 3 intact 1.5 year old goats. We decided to band them. We covered the area in blue coat and gave each goat 5cc of penicillin. We have never banded goats before, I just want to know what to expect the Ball sack to do and how the goats will react to it. it has been 24...

Yes that was chicken feed. they spend their 1st 2 nights in the chicken coop as their out door set up was not ready yet for them. they are all out of the coop now and the chickens are much happier too.

we just acquired 5 goats at auction, we know the one is a lamancha, and we believe the others, 2 are Nubian and 2 are Nigerian. any guesses on age? picture is attached.

ok so I have read a couple post here on fence types and the info conflicts. we have acquired 5 goats. one is a miniature lamancha, no horns, female. the other 4 are boys, we believe 2 are some sort of Nubian with horns, and 2 are Nigerian no horns. when the vet came out he felt that the 4...
