Thank You! :(

Thanks everyone! I'm such a worry wart. Ill get the hang of this, I'm sure. I might be having 3-6 or more in the fall, as the Billy is in with the other three girls since first part of April. 1 Boer, 1 Alpine/Saanen, and 1 (not sure what breed). He is a Savannah, and quite a handsome fella...

I took her grain away, at the advice of her former owner. She is on pasture. Shes MUCH better! Seems I was "over-graining" her.??

Yes, she passed it. All is well. The guy I bought her from is just up the street, and he has been wonderful, checking in on me every few days. He checked her for fever, there is none. Gave me some vitamins to give her. Thanks all of you for your advice and help! Ill get it...just learning...

Thanks for the reply! There are 4 does and a buck, counting her. The shed is approx 8x10. The 4 older kids are in a different pasture. I'm going to leave mama and new kids where they are for about a week, then put them back with the others. Moms not eating much but she is drinking. Got...

Now I'm worried about mama! We moved her and babies to a cleaner environment, away from the rest of the "herd". She seemed fine last night, babies nursed, etc. This morning she seems very listless. Just standing at the opening of her pen, staring over at the other adults, almost like she...

When we moved in, it was middle of Jan. And there was nothing but mud. We couldn't even walk outside without sinking! We brought in a huge bale of straw and spread it out. Huge help! Then come summer we raked it up and threw it in the garden. Bet it would work for the goats...if they don't...

Problem with leaving them where they're at is the rest of the herd sleeps in there. And they've pooped in there. I could probably lock the other babies in an unused chicken run that's covered in straw, and put mama and new babies in the sectioned off area that has a little "hut" they could be...

Went looking for Goldie cause she wasn't with the herd. There she was, in the goat house, with two brand new babies! My first time, so I'm really nervous! 1. They seem to be having a hard time finding her teats! How long should I wait before I start worrying? 2. There's "stuff" still...

Yah, jumped right in. My herd is mostly Boer, one Alpine/Saanen, one traditional, and the rest are Boer, so I'm told. Not so sure because 2 of the adults are white. Two of the babies are mostly Carmel colored and the other two are white with light brown Boer"ish" markings. I'll try to post...

Thanks! Not sure if I want to milk them. Don't even know how! I'm a city girl moved to the country. Mostly got them so I can breed and sell, but they are so dang cute I don't know about that either! I'll post pics if I ever figure out how to get it off my phone.

Hi! My name is Dixie, married with 3 adult kids, 8 grandkids and 7, soon to be 9 great grandkids. (Wow, that makes us sound old!!). We live on two acres, near the border of Idaho, along with 10 hens, 3 roosters, two cats, and a dog... and two weeks ago added 4 Nannies and 2 sets of twin...
