Couple questions: First… this dead calf flop. I am a bit embarrassed that I had to google it with not much luck. Do you mean when you try to lead them and they decide to just hit the ground instead of yielding to some gentle pressure? Second, the calf has a runny nose. No other symptoms of...

So sorry greybeard. Thank you all for your advice. This calf is literally in our backyard for a few weeks, and I can see him right out my office windows. He is doing well. Sleeping a lot, playing some, and eating well when we feed him. I loaded down on supplies before he got here, tube feeder...

Thanks! We are being careful not to. Right now it only finishes a bit over 3 pints, twice a day. It was a twin and seems to be a bit on the smaller side. It takes a while to finish what it does, but does suck aggressively.

I still have a ton of research to do and… fences to build, so I guess you could say we are not 100% sure just yet. Our boys are young, but we...

Thank you! We love Colorado! We've done the road trip thing twice out there, exploring about the entire state. We love Silverton, Taylor Park Reservoir, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Mesa Verde. It truly is the land of many uses! Something different to see in every direction! We deep litter...

New here, from VA!! We have chickens, now looking into goats! Excited about what I can learn from this site!
