New here, I have two new babies......

I cant believe I havent seen this site before. I just got two weaned goats and a adult this past weekend. I am so inlove with them! One is an Alpine/nubian cross and one is an Oberhasli. The adult is an Oberhasli as well. I will post pictures soon. Any advice on feeding them would be good. I have been giving them a cup a day and 1st cut hay. They also get to eat all the brush they want!

Lots of Good information on this site !!


It sounds as tho You are feeding pretty good. If the adult is milking...You might want to up the ration but otherwise sounds pretty good. Great idea on the brush ! Goats Love to browse !

I've been hanging out here for a while but just got my first goats this weekend too! I also have two babies and an adult. The babies are twins, half Oberhasli, half Saanen, a wether and a doeling. The adult is a Nubian doe, in milk. Here is a link to my thread about them with some pictures if you'd like to check them out:

Welcome and congrats on the BEAUTIFUL animals!

Thank you!! I love them so much already. the little tri colored doeling already follows me around everywhere and is such a peach. Her name is Raven, Red is our adult Ober, and Rocket is the Baby Ober. They are so much fun to watch and I think they are getting use to the house etc cause they seem more at ease at the house then they did the first day home. I work nights and slept a little in the morning but find myself lacking sleep cause im out with the goats!

I feel so blessed to have them and watch them nibble away on the brush around the house. They are working for me and they dont even know it! The Obers look so much like deer. I love the beautiful colors on Raven.
Red jumped the four foot gate today keeper me and her seperated. wow she did it with such ease! I was wondering whats the highest these guys can jump?

I would also love to see other peoples pictures of thier goats. I love all the colors they come in.

Hello Neighbor! Yes we certainly can see how our guys, or should i say gals progress as they get older.
Can you post some pictures of your two? I will go look at your thread now! I will also be having a grand time with the kids, goats, chickens and dogs this summer
