"Ok, so this took awhile! These are my 3 kids from April 29th. Easy afternoon kidding. Next day out in the sun to get a good look at them. They are 3+ weeks now & all doing great."
Connie S replied to Connie S's discussion Nigerian Buck Sick"I am excited to try the dam raised kids, I really think it will be better for all involved. I started out with 5 adult goats two years ago. I bred three that first year. This year three out of five bred became pregnant. So from five two years ago I…"
Margaret Langley replied to Connie S's discussion Nigerian Buck Sick"WOW! You do have your hands full! You were brave to take on so many goats at once without experience. I am sure you will be fine, but that is a lot of work doing it the hard way. I can't wait to see what happens with you next kidding season…"
Margaret Langley replied to Randi Leister's discussion Stomping feet, itching legs"I don't know if that would cause this or not but personally, if you are talking about what I am pretty sure that you are, I wouldn't use that on my dog either. I think that would possible causes scratches on goat skin that could actually…"

Margaret Langley replied to Wendi Gunter's discussion Need a couple more photos!"Not only is that a very lovely udder, but I love the labeling! That is great! Wow, how pretty! I just want to milk her. I love that swishy sound of milk hitting the bucket! It is just so cool! Oh, the simply pleasures of life!"
Rachel Whetzel replied to Connie S's discussion Nigerian Buck Sick"Awwww, THANKS!!
I really hope things go well for you and Leo!! I'm super happy that you have a knowledgeable GOAT vet, because so many vets out there really don't know much when it comes to goats, and a lot of applicable knowledge on other…"
Connie S replied to Connie S's discussion Nigerian Buck Sick"Deborah and Margaret thank you both so much for taking the time to think about both Leo and I. I really appreciate you trying to help me figure out what is going on with him. You have made me feel like a friend. As I said I am pretty new to this and…"

Randi Leister replied to Randi Leister's discussion Stomping feet, itching legs"Thanks so much ladies! I will probably head to TSC tomorrow and pick up some food grade DE then. No bare patches, and no bugs that I can see. I was leaning towards thinking it might be just from the shedding, but I guess if DE is so safe I might…"
Rachel in Wonderland replied to Randi Leister's discussion Stomping feet, itching legs"It could be just shedding, or it could be flies. One of my does, who I know does not have lice or mites, HATES when the gnats and flies get after her (more than the rest of them). She will stomp, buck, jump, and run around until its gone and she…"

I have dumor goat pellets and a few alfalfa pellets. I have just started to add a little purina goat chow too.

I currently have two bucks and two whethers for sale.
Both bucks are polled and have wonderful bloodlines. Beetlejuice has thrown beautiful, flashy kids, half of which were polled, which is typical of the polled gene. His pedigree is phenomenal, as is Licorice's, his son, by extension. Beetle is NDGA and AGS; Licorice is NDGA. Both are small bucks.

Would you breed this time of year?

We have had our ND does since Sept., but only now have finally resolved issues with the past owner and are getting the registration papers for our girls! So, is there any reason why we shouldn't start looking to breed them? It would mean having the kids around Sept-Oct., which seems like a good time for New England--not too hot, not yet freezing cold. What do you think? Would it be harder to sell kids just before Winter? Should we wait, or go for it?
