I agree - nursing babies really can deplete a mom, physically.

:lol:

Tricolor? That's not very helpful, I it? What a little cutie!!!

They help keep me sane!!

Whenever anybody in our herds (we have both sheep and goats) has diarrhea, it's usually coccidiosis. They tend to show no other symptoms, and then go downhill - fast. We put Corid in their water. If Ditto doesn't tighten up in a few days with the current treatment, maybe it's coccidiosis...

Our myotonic buck has horns like that and is on the shaggy side. He also has blue eyes and is bigger than our pygmies, and the ears are identical. We also have a Kiko-Spanish cross buck (Kiko dad and Spanish mom) and he is much bigger than 90 lbs. - probably more like 130-150. He's much...

One more thing - the goats that played rough were not the fainters. We have a lot of different and bigger varieties (we raise meat goats; the fainters are our pet line) that are more rambunctious. Our fainters were always easily intimidated.

We have fainting goats - one buck included - and they aren't that large. I think it's the Texas fainters that are bigger. Our guys do have that double muscling thing (they rate 5 on the myotonia scale) but they are gentle and friendly and on the smaller side - our doe probably goes about 35...

Did anyone scroll down and look at some of the comments that people wrote in about that article? Such cruelty - to make light of a situation like that, or to use it sarcastically as political commentary . . . truly appalling. How awful for that poor man and his family. Sympathy should be the...

Not that I know anything about anything, but with all those muscles and those horns, he looks at least part Myotonic to me. And some Myotonics are pretty small.

:)Thanks for your replies - I figured as much. Goats and sheep are in separate pens, so no problem keeping minerals separate.

We just got some meat goats, and I have a question about goat-specific minerals. We also have sheep and they can't have copper; do we need to offer our goats a goat-specific mineral, or are we okay feeding both species the sheep mineral? I've been reading that copper is not optional with...

We changed our minds - these girls are too nice to part with.

How much Kiko and how much Spanish?

We are in Western New York (Buffalo area) and looking to start a meat herd. This little buckling would be our herd sire. How big you expect him to get at maturity?
