"If you are new to goats, you may not know you have a predator problem until it is too late. I know you have coyotes in Georgia. I imagine you also have bobcats. I personally would not risk it."

Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Patty Meyer's discussion Doe dry on one side now producing?milk??"My guess would be that the doeling has been sneaking some nursing on that side, although the clear stuff sounds like she hasn't had any milk removed for quite some time. I'd start milking that side, but I'm just greedy like that. :)"

Patty Meyer replied to Deborah Niemann-Boehle's discussion Workshops and conferences"In our community, we have MANY artists/artisans.

Margaret Langley replied to Deborah Niemann-Boehle's discussion Workshops and conferences"This is a great idea! Do you do the workshops based on a specific topic only or connecting topics?

Deborah Niemann-Boehle posted a discussionWorkshops and conferences
Whenever I post on Facebook or my blog that I'm doing a workshop or conference in my area, I usually get a message from someone asking me if I'd do a workshop in their area. When I organized the homesteading conference in IL last year, someone from Virginia even emailed and asked about having one down there. I had never really considered it because I didn't think I'd be able to get in contact with enough people in an area (much less have enough people register) to be able to cover my costs.…See More

Amy Bell said… Deborah,
I just had an ah-ha moment. Having trouble tattooing my dark eared goats. So I bought some light green ink and thought all would be well.
I re-tattooed a black doe 3 weeks ago for a show and decided to check and see how the tattoo was looking. Well the right side I did with my gray numerals and the left with my white numerals. A few years ago I bought the white set because I was missing a few letters.
Well there was no color on the right side, just the scar. The left side retained the color. I noticed that my white numerals have thicker needles, thus putting more ink in the ear.
Maybe too late to put in your book but I wish I knew that before!!

Marin Waddell said… Hi Deborah, do you know much about parrot mouth? We have one kid with a severe overbite. He's nursing fine, but I'm wondering about his ability to eat after weaning.

Mason Hill Farm said… Hi Deborah - our kids are all due in April. Each of our does came in heat one week apart so that will be an interesting month. We were lucky - every Saturday in November we visisted a differant local farm where we had lined up a stud so they all will have differant sires. It just so happens that all of the sires were white (what are those odds) so all of the colors may be a surprise.

Margaret Langley said… Sorry Deborah, haven't been checking my email lately. Just found the email about the book quote. Of course, I would't mind dear. In fact, I am very honored. Just remember, I am no grammar whiz, just a redneck, so make sure it's all RIGHT ok! Any time!

Hi Debbie....I hope you remember me. I had asked for advice for my 3 ND does that I had purchased. You gave me some GREAT advice.
One of my does, Cinnamon gave birth to triplet bucklings on Dec. 9th. That was my first experience and for Cinnamon also.
I hope I can download a picture for you.
The "boys" are so healthy and Cinnamon came through it wonderfully.
Thank you again,
Adele Rodgers
I can't seem to download a picture for you...I'll try later
