Well we didn't give any Penicillin yesterday when he was feeling better, but we did today and will continue a full course. Sounds like he has nasal congestion, is breathing a little hard, and his rectal temp is 99.1. He's also grinding his teeth alot.??? We've got him in warm towels right now...

We have a baby boy goat that is now 18 days old. Saturday 2/6 he didn't have any energy and the rims of his eyelids (upper & lower) on both eyes were reddened with a reddened "bump" over the left eyelid. We went ahead and gave him a shot of Penicillin and a shot of Vitamin B Complex on...

We have saanens, the guy we got ours from has all saanens and alot of them. From everything Ive seen and read the saanens are all white, the sable saanens which the man had 2 of them which were white with a redish tint or redish like stripe on there back but were still mostily white just a...

Its been quite cool here for the past few weeks, do you think that will help any? Our Saanen doe came in and was bred in late august. I would have thought that she would have came in before now??

Our oberhasli doe is a little over a year old and has been in the stall and pin with our buckling (who is a proven breeder) for 4 months has not came in heat yet. She has not shown any signs at all and really just kinda pals around with the buckling. Any ideas why she has not came in yet or...

Thanks everyone for the advice. Our Clyde is back on his feet and doing ALOT better, eating everything in sight and back to his onery self haha!! We are still giving the pen 2x a day and will continue for atleast 10 days.Were so glad hes doing better, had us worried for a while. Again thanks...

Well as of yesterday evening Clyde was back up on his feet and eating and even playing around with the other goats. Im sure hes not out of the woods yet but the penicillin and B vitamin really helped. Were still not sure exactly what was wrong or what even caused it but he is doing much better...

Well, he is up moving around this evening a little more. Nibbling a little bit but still not much of an appetite. Is drinking some water. Small amounts of pee each time he goes, but of course he's not taking in much. Poop continues to be normal appearing. He is grinding his teeth, what does...

He is peeing and pooping without any signs of pain. Poop is round pellets and dark brown as usual. He is drinking some water today and nibbling on a little bit of hay but still not wanting to eat. He has had nasal drainage and some audible nasal stuffiness. I think it's more respiratory than...

Ok, went to let the goats out of the barn this morning and our buck usually is standing up on the gate to his stall to greet me and this morning he wasnt he was still laying down, I called his name and he didnt even get up just looked up at me. I got everyone out of the barn and into the lot and...

I havent had any problems with pine needles or bark. Ive actually cut pine limbs and put in the lot for our goats and they clean them up right down to where there is nothing left but a stick. Actually the man we got our first 2 goats from says that in the winter time he has actually cut down a...

Not such a bad idea.Ive heard of lots of people doing that, especially with pure bred bucks, because they say the purebreds dont live as long as the crosses. May even make a lil money that way. Good luck!!

My vote is for the Oberhasli or the Toggenburg, if it were me. I just cant get past the no ears thing. Thats just WEIRD!!! All up to you tho! We have Saanens and Oberhasli and Oberhasli mix. The oberhasli are beautiful but very high strung, have great personalities tho!! Good luck!!

We had no idea that our doe was coming into season then 2 days ago our buck which is a month older than our doe started the signs of a billy goat, u know those signs. Then yesterday she was all about the buck rubbing all over him and sticking right with him then he was trying to do the deed and...

Not true!! Goats have got to be the pickiest eaters ever. Just watch what they eat when they are browsing!!

I agree, take the corn away and just give her the rest of the feed shell learn to love it!!!

We put a big round bale in the lot with our goats, its lasted a little while, maybe a month or so, they use is as a playset, bathroom, then they eat mostly just the middle of it, my suggestion would be to use square bales if you can, you can portion it out and make it last longer, however I have...

It all depends. Most people you talk to say not to feed your bucks or wethers grain at all. Then some people say to grain the bucks when they are in rut. We feed grain to all of our goats, 2 does, a wether and a buck. We only feed in the evenings when we put the goats up in the barn, they...
