What next????? Seriously...we bought a doe in milk, came in perfect health CAE negative and all that, only 3 weeks fresh...Beautiful saanen doe, production has dropped a little, but I figured it would with the stress of a new home some...she's a jumpy thing, good on the stand, but nervous and...

Yup...a friend sold her "nupine" cross doelings for like $250 not too long ago....and I have gotten just recently from Conroe/Montgomery a VERY nice PB Nubian doeling for $250 (she's a GORGEOUS little squirt, put together nicely from froo froo goldthwaite lines and TLC and such...VERY lovely...

It HAS been scary 20kidsonhill! The vet really thinks it has to do with our location though....being an ex-pig factory of sorts...I mean c'mon now...who has over 300 of ANYTHING except maybe chickens on just 10 ACRES! (and that is still a LOT of freakin chickens!) THAT IS A CRAZY amount of...

The cocci we FINALLY have under control - with toltrazuril - so that is in check. The ONLY problem the vet sees with that is that it flat out kills ALL life stages so we are going to have to slowly back off the dosing so they can build resistance. WEll...not the actual dose, but the time...

among other things....seems resistant stuff is 10 times worse this year due to last years drought...yup...what the vet and a few others are telling me is that the drought left only the "Super Strong" to survive and then the overly wet spring we had magnified it. The cocci issue is a WHOLE...

WOOHOO! CONGRATULATIONS! :weee It's always a nice feeling to "pass" a test like that one! So your girls got an "A+" :)

Bless my little feed store...that poor old fella just looked at me crazy...like I was feeding SUSHI to the goats here! LOL :) Thanks guys! (and gals and such :) ) I'll be ordering it soon :)

Can I jump in and ask WHERE ARE YA'LL GETTING YOUR KELP FROM? No one around here actually has the stuff, got to order it....so, can I inquire as to where is the best source? Just curious....been wanting to add it to our "routine" and all....

LOL :) Yup...I have both of those, did NOT have them back in December when I had a kid a couple weeks old get bacterial scours...resulting in a fruitless dash to TSC only to find they were OUT of scourhalt! So I grabbed a substitute and got the scour halt overnighted...along with my vaccines...

We strain ours with a fine wire mesh reusable coffee filter...VERY fine wire mesh...and then refrigerate. Just use it raw to drink around here, cook with, you know...everything :) Extra milk makes tasty treats for chickens and pigs...and the dog who helps himself to the pail when he feels...

yeah, I've been studying it a lot more recently, before I just always did "what was common" I guess...or what I had been told....but like I said we use SO much "off brand" people stuff - because the concentrations and active ingredients are the same as the name brand...well...I've been looking...

Penelope never really "dropped"...but she was never really high either, her belly always was kinda low...My friends doe dropped and we thought sure enough ANY minute (had 2 breeding dates), and then kidded TWINS a month later as a FF...like she ran out of room up high lol... I would say don't...

Yup...that's our house...kinda odd ball :) His new thing is to tell me what they are thinking as I do things like dose for cocci prevention....you know "OH MY GOODNESS MOM! NO NO NO NOT THAT STUFF AGAIN? Why do you hate me?" Then he walks around saying very quietly "Why? Oh Why?" and petting...

YUP :) Ditto :) I actually tend to put it off until that 4 week mark...because I hate sticking the babies :( I see it's been 3 weeks...and I say "oh, tomorrow..." for a few days until I KNOW I HAVE to do it :)

Thank you :) It seemed like it would be the same...I just always ordered by searching for what I knew by name...until last night and then I read through the catalog...and I was like "wait a minute..." major light bulb moment :) Now if only I could decide on HOW to arrange my fencing and cross...

So, as I get ready to do my "big yearly get it all now" Jeffers order I FINALLY noticed that...to my ability to read and comprehend...that NOROMECTIN and IVERMECTIN injectable are the SAME THING...it SEEMS... Is this true? Am I reading things correctly...because the NOROMECTIN product is...

LOL...I always laugh looking back...I had the same worries last year, UNTIL I realized my DOG was "cleaning up" the poo for me! We brought home a few tiny bottle kids, had them in the house, and would let them out with Ming (who mothers everything VERY well)....I wasn't finding poos....because...

WHOA! $75 for a fecal IS robbery... You can always collect and send your own in to: http://www.midamericaagresearch.net/instructions.php It's $5 a sample, they email you clear easy results, do all kinds of livestock besides goats, and if you use the medium size priority box to mail it at the...

Yup...my husband calls it the "phantom horn pains" because they have an itch they can't scratch without horns...he's a PITA (the husband) always speaking for the goats like he's the Lorax or something...

Where di you find those? I NEED that first one! Too funny!
