I have two 4 week old Spanish doelings and I'm wondering how much milk their suppose to be drinking. They are bottle babies. And they usually such down 16 ounces and still want more. I'm offering pellets and hay. But they hardly eat it. They are feed @ 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm.
We got the girls disbudded. Not the best experience. But they are doing great. And we think we did it right. Got the good copper ring but we didn't knock the cap off. DH said the instructions didn't say too.
Okay I just shaved Adel and Ria heads for disbudding. They have a bug infestation. The bugs have a white butt and tan body. What are they and how do I get rid of them?
Disbudding iron will be here today. So will vaccines to give goats. Seriously nervous about disbudding the girls. But on a lighter note they will be getting shots. On the pneumonia shot when do I give it?
That's what I was reading. So I'm ordering the iron and going to have it expressed or something. Yeah I'm really nervous about it. But I guess the Lord thinks were ready. :)
We don't really have an actual feed store. We have a Tractor Supply but the people who work there aren't the most competent people. Even the vets looked at me weird when I asked if they disbud kids. I think my husband and I will just have to watch tons of videos and order the disbudding iron...
Thank you. Is having them disbudded a surgical procedure. Because our two Vets don't disbud and our ag agent said he can't do it because it's a surgical procedure. I'm so doomed. It's going to be a arm and leg to get it done at a Vet around here.
