Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

With the electric one you would need to be close to an electrical outlet- the hand held one could go out into the field with you as needed.

I think the electric is intended for larger dairy herds. That's the impression I got. Buck Wheeler is the inventor and owner, I talked with him the other day. He is great at explaining everything about both products. I also watched all the videos.

I would get the electric if I had 1 cow to milk.

DD and I were talking about the hand one and that it would be nice to have on hand, especially if you needed to have someone else do chores- then they don't have to try and hand milk.

I watch the videos and it looks like they were at a horse stable with the electric one.

Hi! I was wondering if you have pictures of Obie right before she kidded? Our does were with a buck from January to April. She's had a very large bag for about six weeks(About the size of Obie's while she is milking.) And she is huge, due any day, and I'm wondering if she's going to have twins or triplets now, lol. Thanks

 

[Hens and Roos]

Here is a picture we have of Obie- this was taken 1 month before she kidded

Thanks so much! Ours looks a bit bigger than her, and she doesn't even have her winter coat like Obie, lol! So, we might be having triplets! (Or with my luck, one or two really big bucklings, lol.) I thought she was going to have them June 2nd. Now she's making me wait. -_-. How inconsiderate of her! Lol! My other one(Mini Alpine.) I believe is 3-4 months pregnant.

Good Luck with both your does! We are waiting for our last one- Maggie to kid. She is 10 days away from day 145 and we are keeping our fingers crossed that she holds out till then. Guessing at least 4, would be really happy with 3!

It's very cute. Love her. She needs a name and don't forget a friend for her. They like it very much. I have two dwarf goats since 31 May. One it's called Gina e the other Rosinha. They are very portuguese names. Can you tell how are you going to avoid her of eating everything? Do you have a fence? How high is it? It's my major preocupation because I have a garden and they can't jump over the fence. They would eat my beloved "Acer japonicum" and many others trees or bushes. Bye

Our 8 Nigerian Dwarf goats have a 4 ft fenced pasture and so far haven't tried jumping it.

I recently aquired a jumper who cleared my 5ft fencing from a STANDING position. He was sold days later... pitty, lovely buck. They are out there, but i do t see it being an issue with nigerians!

Excuse me. Do you think that a 4" fence won't be enough for two dwarf goats? Do you think they will jump out?

 

[mmpereira]

Hens and Roos , thanks. I become more tranquilized. I hope they won't jump out of the fence. Besides they always have food and water but I know that what is in the other side is alwaysbetter than what they have, as Baymule said.
