I have a doe (milking) that appears to be sensitive to the heat and gets runny poop. I don't know if it is related to heat but seems to be that way. Had a hot day today and she is runny and does not want to eat. She wanted to browse so I let her out and she did eat. Grain she does not want...

Ohhh noo. This would be on the ground. My goats NEVER eat hay once it has fallen on the ground. And want to spray around their house.

Wondering if anyone has used something to spray outside around haying area and housing for bugs. I live in an area that has been quite wet and have lots of gnats and mosquitoes. As we all know the goats waste so much hay and the area gets quite thick and when the rain comes, it gets very...

Noticing the goat area getting a little stinky!..Want to do a good cleaning, raking up old hay and removing with as many droppings as possible. This is the outside area and I was wondering if I could cover in lime after cleaning for the bacteria and odor. Is that safe for goats? Does anyone...

Just wanted to post our new kids. Still in awe of birthing and it is a miracle. LOVE IT! They are sooo cute and wanted everyone to see.

Well, I know this is not a disease, but does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning ears? We have "elf ears" and I have a little guy that constantly gets wax build up and when he was shaking his head, it sounded like liquid in his ear. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, please share what...

Well, thanks everyone but all is OK. Temp. is normal along with gums and eye color. Went to a friend and had a sonogram, what a hoot! Her babies are looking well and I think she is just tired. Heading into her last month and this is her second time. She is doing well physically. She is...

What kind of security camera system do you have? Is it wireless? Looking for one myself. Thanks.

Just look up ketosis and I don't think it is that. She is still eating. Will move for the grain bucket, just slowly. I have been feeding her 3 cups of grain (mare & foal pellet), along with some black oil sunflower seeds, oats, and pregnancy supplements daily. Hay is always now and on...

I have really wanted to get one of these so I can monitor when my doe goes into labor. The goat house is about 250' away from house and I don't have electric out there so I would have to find something wireless. Has anyone else tried this? Looking for some testimonies on this actually working...

Hi everyone. This is our second breed with our goat. Last couple of days I have noticed that she has been by herself and NOT moving at all. I have had to bring food/water to her. She was lying down and I approached with friends and she did not even get up or acknowledge us. This is very...

Thanks! How far down? Does it really matter?

This will be our second year kidding and last year the ambilical cord was not done so great. I need to brushen up. We had a sick kid and the vet had to come and took care of it for me. Would like to get it better and would like to hear from "regular goat people" who do this often. Thanks!

WOW! I am in NY (hudson valley area) and pay $4.00 bale. It is pricy. I wonder if I am feeding them too much. As long as there is hay there, they will eat it! I never buy the alfalfa hay....WHEW! That stuff is real pricy. Maybe I would consider as a Christmas present.
