Tammy Lee Birrer replied to Tammy Lee Birrer's discussion 5 Week old goat wobbly on legs"Hi,
Sorry, I've been working with him quite a bit today. His eyelids are the same as the others, pink. He took only an ounce of milk from a bottle today. Ate minerals and 1 pump of nutridrench x 2 ( morning/eve). I saw him jump into the…"
Michael Garwood posted a discussionWe have started....
Well, we are on the way: the first nigerians in Australia....We cycled 21 does for surrogate work, but on the day, only 16 were ready and "willing." Sixteen embryos were implanted. We only did one per doe (I had thought to do 2 embryos per doe) but the vet doing the laparoscopic implanting said that more than one embryo per doe actually leads to a decrease in the success rate. He also said that the freezing of the embryos is hard on them and so to expect about 50% success (= 8 kids) when I…See More
Julia @Woody Glen Farm replied to Patty Meyer's discussion First mini-Nubian kids"Aw so cute! Is your doe a nubian or a dwarf? Do you have the buck-daddy too? I've thought about mini-nubians a lot. I heard that the first generation often doesn't have the droopy ears. Is that true to your knowledge?"
Julia @Woody Glen Farm replied to polly jackson's discussion ammonium chloride for bucks"I give my bucks minerals that have it in there since I do give my bucks a little grain (BOSS and raw pumpkin seeds) every night and like to lower the risk of urinary calculi. I also give mine a scoop of Goat Balancer (by Manna Pro) with their…"

Helen Setterfield replied to Paul Spear's discussion milker"What broke on mine was the little plastic piece that the tubing connected to. That would have meant I had to replace the entire main section, which is only available from Henry Milker. The gaskets which were in our tops were a tiny bit…"
Julia @Woody Glen Farm replied to Paul Spear's discussion milker"I used my Henry Milker for my does entire last lactation and will use it again. I did break one of the fittings (a valve) but it was easily replaced at Home Depot. Gaskets do come out but they go back in easy enough and they are replaceable too. All…"
Rachel in Wonderland replied to Tammy Lee Birrer's discussion 5 Week old goat wobbly on legs"Sorry, ignore that. I had a blond moment.
I would check belly for fullness and eyes for anemia as well, like Rachel suggested. Has he had any diarrhea? Has he been on cocci preventative? I'm sorry, there are so many reasons he could be weak,…"
Julia @Woody Glen Farm replied to Judy Asarkof's discussion Triplets - now - educate me on colors again!"I think your best bet for black and white is black and white parents ;) My black doe Surrey was bred last year to a white buck and all the kids were bold black and white (3). I kept one buckling and he will be a herd sire this fall-- he's…"

Rachel in Wonderland replied to Judy Asarkof's discussion Triplets - now - educate me on colors again!"I wish I knew more about color genetics, too. I find them so interesting and fun as well.

Helen Setterfield replied to Paul Spear's discussion milker"We used the Henry Milker for a number of months.
Positive: easy on the goats, easy to use
Negative: you need to finish milking by hand or risk mastitis (the milker does not finish the job); the gasket in the lid kept slipping out and…"
Helen Setterfield replied to Helen Setterfield's discussion from Oregon"Thanks, Rachel. I had seen more expensive udder slings before and ruled them out for that reason. However, when I milked last night, Taffy (whose sons are the worst offenders) was only about a quarter of a cup off. This is WAY…"
Angela lesh replied to Angela lesh's discussion Question please. Doe withholding milk and crazy hard to milk."Yes I have milked for just over a year. The other ones never withheld milk and their udders were softer and more pliable. This does udder is round and tight. It's like trying to milk a water balloon with small teats."

I've got my goats!!!! I'm posting this from my mobile device. Were on our way home right now. They're cute and funny and they've already won my hubby over - or at least the does have and he's open to liking the bucks eventually too! :D of course I'm already quite smitten! I'm super excited!!!
BTW do any do any of you ever feed orchard grass pellets? Just wondered if I could use it occasionally instead of hay?
