Jabe Thomas posted a discussionI'm Selling a Goat... Help
Hello there. We are preparing to sell our ND wether. He is 3 mo. old and is separated from his mom at night, but still nurses during the day. My question is: is their a weening process, or does he stop nursing cold turkey when he is sold.Also, for those of you who have sold goats in the past, what are the "norms" or routines of selling a goat? He's tattooed, had his shots, and hooves have been trimmed. What else is there? Do you give a "goodie" basket? Should I send some grain? Thanks for your…See More

I do have Baycox now, there is an ebay seller or two who get it and sell it in the US on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181334531744) They have it in 8ml or 25ml. My vet told me he can't get it because…"

Coccidiosis over and over. Advice for keeping kids feet out of feeders?

First my little wether got it. Two weeks later a doeling, then about the time she was through the meds, another doeling got it. I have feeders off the floor and "steps" for them to stand on so they will not stand in the bowls but it doesn't help!…Continue

Re-growth after disbudding
Posted by Ralph Paterno on June 12, 2014 at 3:59pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
We have an 8 week old buckling who we neutered this morning using a Ritchey Nipper! It went smoothly relatively speaking. About a week ago though I noticed a different issue - a scur coming up. Now they are in 3 places, about 1/2 inch tall and pretty thin (so they are kind of sharp). What should I do? I'm concerned about him hurting someone else when headbutting. Do I have him re-burned by the vet? (I'm doing the burning next year)! cut them myself somehow (how?)? Any ideas.…

Cutting back
Posted by Lyn Adams on June 10, 2014 at 9:47am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Recently a friend asked how much I feed my goats and how often. Well as of Monday I have cut back from twice a day to only am feeding. They have all the second cut they want and fresh water, minerals and baking soda . We built a 3 sided shelter for them as well, I now lock them out of the barn durning the day. This really will help to keep the barn cleaner longer. Hope this doesn't sound cruel . Curious to know what other people do.
We got our babies today!
