Alvarado Tx here, I was hoping to see more from Alvarado considering there are a lot of farms around here. When I need something everyone is so far away I was looking for some feeders I could mount on the wall for my goats but ended up having to build them. No one in this area geez and all...

It took about 7 to 8 days for my goats to settle down. Now we go out and they call us and if we dont get in their yard fast enough they yell at us lol......... I also had to use ropes to put my goats out at first we used tires in the center of the yard so they wouldnt get tangled up in anything...

Ok thank you both for your advice and wow I didnt kow it was the Top minerals for goats the lady said its what she has so I got it I couldn't find any in any other feed stores.

Just curious not trying to hijack the post.......I am just trying to understand what is being said. So is it safe to say that any doe like mine who is a nubian/alpine that has trouble gaining weight can be on grain? As long as it is a moderate amount say a cup a day ? She has been wormed but I...

Ok Cool Thanks I had no idea you could just give it to them like that.

:cool:

For a while I was just leaving everything in the bag and keeping everything in my house. But I have started like you collecting the ice cream buckets to keep food in and also storage plastic boxes with lids. It holds a 50 lb bag of goat feed. But the salt I recently got and I didn't know if I...

I am confused? do they lick at the baking soda freely? or are you sprinkling it on food?

I got this huge bag of mineral it is loose I have put some in a bowl so that they can get it when ever they want. I tried offering by hand because they like to eat things from our hand but they sneezed at it then kind of made a face like ( WHAT THE HECK LADY ).......lol Am I doing this wrong, I...

Is this the same Ivomec used on dogs for Demo Mange?

Yea I was worried about that too. Children are always so curious I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to someone's child.

There children do not listen well they are between 4 , 6 , 8 and 10 years of age. I have 2 younger children they come over and play with and yesterday I had to send them home cause i have 1 HUGE rule when it comes to my animals is we do not ever chase them ever and when I stepped out they was...

Thank You, so far the flies and mosquitos are down unlike last year this year we got a few ducks and chickens and they have been having a field day with the flies and other pests. The chickens stay around the goats to catch the goodies I think lol. They don't seem to have much fur not long any...

What ways do you keep your goats cool in the dead of summer? It will be getting up in the triple digits here in texas I have a lot of shade, and we keep cool water in their waterers. Is there anything else we can do to keep them cooled off?

I have a acre of land only 4 goats right now one side of my fence touches our neighbors yard the neighbor has children who play back in their own yard. My worry is that if I put up an electric fence this could be bad around children. What else can be recommended other than electric fence to...

Kuzcos home is very far away from our house I don't think smell will be really bad we are way out in the country in open space. Their fence is a 6 ft fence I hope that will be high enough. On one side is a 6ft privacy fence covered by a chain link fence. Yea I also talked to my kids about not...

I am so in love with them, we sit and watch them all day I don't think I have been inside for the past week longer than enough time to sleep and then get up and let them out again. I even have to check on them a few times at night just to make sure they are ok.

I was kind of hoping she would get a poochy stomach by afternoon fall, like her little buddy does but Malina just would not gain much even though she had spent the entire day eating plus her pellets. It was as if non of it was getting to her and her bones were showing really bad by day 7 she was...

We don't have the mom with us we purchased the little doe after she was weaned. She chews some of it blows her noes at other parts of it but maybe she was getting dust in her nose, we are in texas and have plenty of dust. I took her back today to the feed store I got her from and they gave her...

I was reading on Fias co farm goats web site and she says how goats are not lawn mowers and how they prefer brush and trees over grass. I have loads of brush and trees but maybe my goats didnt get the memo on this? Cause they prefer greener grass than brush so I am confused. Am I the only one...
