Ha, ha! Thanks.. the second one on your list I just emailed!!! Thanks for the suggestions! Lynn :)

Wanted to buy - Doeling kid between 5 and 8 weeks to keep company with my nigerian dwarf doeling. Bottle feeding is no issue. A smaller sized would be better. Within 60 miles of Weathersfield, Vermont... thanks so much!

I'm working on another addition. For right now she is in the house with us. Except for when she is outside in the warm afternoon for exercise and fresh air... does anyone have a doeling 5 to 8 weeks old looking for a home near Weathersfield, Vermont for not too much???

Thank you so much... I will keep all this on file.

Just picked up an adorable little Nigerian Dwarf Doeling this afternoon. She is in the house in a pen tonight as the barn is too cold still here in Vermont. She will be out during the day, but in at night until it warms up enough that her ears aren't cold. SO... a few questions, if I may...

Ferdinand Hamburgerler is doing fine. He won't drink the milk replacer but the guy at the feed store said I could just sprinkle some over his feed like a supplement. He does eat it that way. Drinking lots of water. Eating hay and his calf grower with milk replacer dusting... lol! Thanks for all...

Good question... I bought the only milk replacer within 30 miles of our house/ their farm. I think they used milk they couldn't put in the collection tank. He's drank his water bucket empty and eaten most of the hay... I don't know if he ate any grain but if it looks like he hasn't eaten any by...

Hmmm... and I thought my crew was large... lol 1 rather spoiled house cat, Sara 3 rescue dogs, Corbin, Mia & Riley 2 horses, 1 pony/minature horse mix, Lucky Call, Leo & Smokey 1 6 week old calf, Ferdinand Hamburgerler 7 chickens, 1 rooster; 6 babies arriving next week 6 turkeys arriving next...

Our pigs loved to have their bellies rubbed. They also loved to have their backs scratched (gently) with a hoe I had out by their pen. Or a crooked stick. But the belly rubs were the most popular... I also agree - no animal that is dominant (imho) would lay down submissively and have their...

Could someone (anyone?) post a page with information about de-horning with pictures so those of us that are new to cows that want to see it can visit the link? I'm not squeamish and blood doesn't bother me (as long as it isn't my own) and I would like to know what things look like before I have...

He was on his mother for two weeks. The farmer told me he has been taking milk from a bucket and gets some cow grain and hay twice a day. I'm not sure if it was regular 'Mom' milk or milk replacer... He is six or seven weeks old now...

Hi. We picked up our calf today. He is six weeks old. I bought milk replacer, calf starter (grain), have hay and fresh water in his stall. He won't touch the milk replacer. He hasn't eaten any calf starter (grain) but is drinking the water and eating the hay. He has been at our house for about...

I am very selective over who I let in my barn and around my animals. There are so many diseases that can be brought in on shoes, clothes, etc. And with the way things are going these days, you never know if they will come back some other time and you might have an animal missing. I like the idea...
