I would like to put signs out around our pasture and could use suggestions. I have had a few neighbors coming closer than I would like and one of them told me they brought some things over to our bucks one day to eat. I know they don't mean any harm and I don't want to be rude but this is not...
Do they require anything special? We use 4x4 field fencing and its fine for our goats. Are they very messy? I want to make sure I have thought of everything before we decide.
We raise Nigerian Dwarf goats and we have a good friend that does animal rescue. She has a pot belly pig that she rescued and has kept for a year. She wants us to take it and we will but it has to be okay in our barn with the goats. Our barn is attached to a 2 acre pasture on one side and a...
We had our first baby born last night. It was a great birth, no problems at all. I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting to do anything. I gave the doe some warm water with molasses and grain after she had passed the placenta and let the little one nurse. I plan on doing a fecal today or...
I just read your LGD page so I thought I would answer the questions
The area the dog will be in, the size 1.75 acre pasture fenced in and a barn with attached pen 30x100
Will the dog be moved Not really planning on it but we do have a buck pen 30x100. Could the LGD be moved?
If the dog needs...
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. I actually prefer having an excuse to keep people out of the pasture. I've been made to feel the bad guy several times when I wouldn't let kid's in that I knew would chase the goats. My first thought was a M/F GP team. How would you go about...
How are GP with people approaching the fence line? We often do have play dates or random family members stopping by with kids wanting to go see our goats. I've just began my research so I want to really be realistic about what to expect. I've tried looking up breeders in my area but not...
We have recently started having some trouble with wild dogs. There is a creek that runs through some property a few miles from us and people have started dumping dogs around there. Over the last several months we have spotted them in our pasture at least once a week. They have never came up...
Hi! I have a herd name that I wanted to register so I called the ADGA and they said it was available. I then called the AGS and they said it was taken but it did not appear to be currently active. They gave me the contact info. But the number is no longer in service and there is no website. I've...
I just thought I would post an update now that we have had this set up for over a year. My husband is out rearranging things today so hopefully this helps someone new. We had the storage inside of the pen and barn. I did not think this would be that big of a deal but I was WRONG. The goats...
