My experience has been with getting critters on bottles: #1, they can be very picky with the formula; #2, they can be very picky with the nipple. I've actually had a doe go THREE days with absolutely nothing to eat, she was starting the downhill starvation slide; I could hear her tummy rumble...

Agreed on getting those teeth checked. If you've ruled out parasites, and the weight just doesn't seem to be picking up like it should, even with grain, it's very often a dental issue, especially at that age. It's amazing the horrible problems they live with (and hide very successfully) for a...

She seems like she'll be a really nice doe! She's a bit thin, but not horribly so for a dairy goat. In my experience, simple is best. Most goats that die were killed with kindness (i.e., got overfed way too much too fast). Get a fecal done on her first, most likely she'll have some...

(If anyone reading isn't aware, alfalfa is 16-20:1 calcium : phosphorous, and corn is something like 1:5--high in phosphorous. You can feed fairly high levels of Ca or P, as long as they are balanced with each other at about 1.8-2:1 for goats. If your balance gets too far off, such as 1:1 or...

I ran into three cases of VERY minor PT last year (tender feet, sluggish), and I couldn't figure out why because I was giving them plenty of calcium--free choice loose minerals, grain mix with 2:1 calcium, and alfalfa/grass hay with a high percentage of alfalfa. And they were on the alfalfa...

The newest batch of babies is here. I have one doeling and three bucklings available, traditionally colored but with strong color variety genetics. They are by a registered ennobled buck, and are located near Athens, OH. For more information, please visit my website...

I have also decided to sell Annie and her mother Charlotte, as I'm reaching my desired herd size. You can see their photos and info on the website. If anyone is interested, please email or message me. I'm asking $150 for Annie (first time kidder) and $175 for Charlotte (always had triplets so...

Thank you, goatboy, your herd is looking good as well, keep up the good work!

Jake, I have decided to sell two does, Annie and Daphne. Both are exposed to Boomer, and ennobled registered buck. You can see photos of them on the website. If you are interested, send me an email. Thanks.

Not naturally polled, no, but I am selling one of my polled does, Daphne. She should be bred to Boomer and due in July. I'm asking $200 for her. You can see photos of both at my website.

Both have been exposed to Boomer and while I did not observe any heats with Annie, Daphne should be due in early July. You can see their info on my website, sites.google.com/site/goatfarm101 . Let me know if you are interested, I'm looking for $150 for Annie and $200 for Daphne.

Jake, someone had asked me about a couple of does, and I can't remember if it was you. I told them I'd let them know if I decided to sell any. I have decided to sell Annie and Daphne.

I have a small herd of tame, well raised boer and boer crossed goats for sale near Athens, OH (between Athens and Logan, about 1 hour SE of Columbus). I recently had kids born in January 2014, and as of this post have 4 bucklings left for sale. If you are interested, or are interested in...

Thanks. I replied via email, but I'm not sure if that works like Facebook, so I thought I'd better reply here, as well. The girls are doing well, Diali (the Alpine) is beginning to show signs of imminent labor, so it should be soon. She was bred to Bob, Lil Bit and Sadie were bred to Boomer...

We will have new babies mid January! Check our website to see pairs, and kid photos when they arrive...

I am a relatively new breeder for Boers in SE Ohio. You can see more information at https://sites.google.com/site/goatfarm101/ . Thanks!

I am a relatively new breeder who is specializing in boer and boer-crossed breedstock replacements. I am keeping my herd small so that all animals are well handled and tame. I am expecting my next batch of kids mid January 2014, out of five different does. You can see photos of the does, bucks...
