Hey Everyone, our lives have drastically changed. We had to give up our animals 2.5 years ago. I still miss them except when it’s raining. Then, in December, we had a sudden move and I was thankful that in the midst of packing up our home that I wasn’t also having to rehome animals. God...

That’s a great idea. I’m surprised no one has reached out yet but I’m in some goat pages still. I’ll do that.

Thanks for the suggestion about advertising them in magazines. I would never give them away. They are valuable assets. We haven’t lost any animals to predators aerial or otherwise since we have had them. They even managed to kill a hawk. I will miss them desperately. They birds will go...

We have made the difficult decision to rehome our LGDs. They are amazing guardians and currently protect our chickens and turkeys. They protected our goats in the past. We live in a highly populated area on a busy road. The predators that lurk outside our fence in the woods have really been...

I hope that Shep will be okay. We had a health issue fairly soon starting out with our LGD. If neither of your dogs have been fixed, I’d suggest that you have Shep fixed so that you don’t breed his genetic issues. Our Chewy was born with genetic heart problems, term evades me, after an...

Bay, my heart breaks for you. The love and wisdom that you've shared has meant so much to me. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I'm sending love and hugs your way.

I’ll start with I have no idea if this is the right place to post this. We have decided to sell all our goats. Everyone is spoken for except, Cash. He is a 2 year old, Nigerian Dwarf. He has blue eyes. We tested in February and all tests are negative. We are located in Duluth, GA...

Goats definitely scream loud enough for all to hear. I’ve never been so late getting my garden really established. I love the goats but I have a hard time releasing stress. This will be a good opportunity to see if we miss them so much that we have to get more. If not, I’m a wealth of...

I sure understand. I have chicks that should have been sold by now. So busy with goats, that they haven’t been the center of my attention. Hubby moved them out of the brooder into the kidding pen we constructed on our patio. At this point, do I just keep them until I can sex them or offer...

I don’t know how you do it. I’ve been trying to plant my garden on top of everything else. I haven’t found that peaceful place recently.

It has been a hard decision but the last month has been overwhelming. This is supposed to be fun. I don’t mind hard work but the excessive stress is too much. We’ve learned a lot and will do things differently if we get more. Your lambs are super cute.

Thanks, now to find them all homes. Thanks. It has been a difficult decision. I thought we found someone who wanted the does and adult bucks. I’m not hearing back from them. I know they have lots going on. If I don’t hear something soon, I will start posting them. Glad things are going...

I wish that it would have worked. Everyday I practice my rodeo skills trying to leash her to put on the milk stand. My 2 other does are all about the milk stand because it’s the only place they are given crack. Not Dolly, half the time when she’s up there she doesn’t even eat. I need to try...

Absolutely adorable. Doodles?

That’s so amazing. Reading this brought tears to my eyes. How’s Buddy and his boy doing?

She’s so beautiful.

Dolly kidded this morning about 8:30am. I kept thinking she was going to go last night and kept waking up every 2 hours checking the camera. I came down to feed the other kids and she had a bubble hanging. Buckling 1 was born shortly thereafter followed very quickly by his brother. No...

She pooped in utero. She was septic and had pneumonia due to the meconium aspiration. She sounded a little snuffy from day 1 but I attributed it to everything being inflamed from delivery just like in human babies. She never sounded bad except the day she died.

I got the final necropsy report back. It said that our little doeling, Marshmellow, died from sepsis caused by meconium. Her mineral levels were normal but the selenium is in the low end of normal. Anyone have experience with this happening?

Well, it’s crazy at my house. I’m sure y’all are also. Tipsy kidded Saturday night. Of course in true Tipsy fashion, she didn’t want anything to do with her babies, a buckling and a doeling. So, we now have a goat condo in our kitchen. All the babies seem to be doing well. The first 2...
