"Another thing to consider: If they have never traveled before (locally or otherwise), you might take them on short trips so they are somewhat familiar with the noises and smells. It might make a difference on how stressed they are during…"
"I will say that I keep granulated sea kelp in front of my girls all the time, in addition to baking soda and loose minerals, all of which are in separate containers. I find my girls go through kelp in cycles - some times they eat a lot of it in a…"
"If it were me, I would definitely take them. It will take some planning which would also included taking a month's supply of hay with you so the transition to the local hay can be made slowly to reduce stress on their systems.I have much…"
"Thank you, Naomi, for all of us. For us personally (my goats and me), it is likely behind us. We finally got rain early Friday morning, along with a lightening storm. It didn't clear the air as much as one would expect that…"
"Glenna, I just read what you replied. Have you gotten rain yet? Any relief in your area?
I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking to have animals depending on you and looking to you for help, when you can do nothing. How are they doing?"
"You are welcome. I was not certain of which "section" to post it but thought in the wrong place was better than not at all.Deep gratitude is mine that I am not one of those who needs to evacuate and likely won't ever be.…"

Near forest fires and/or smoke?
For those living near the forest fires and smoke:Baking soda: I don't know if this is smoke-related but am posting it just in case it is.My goat feeder with baking soda in it has never been below a third full - today it was empty, like licked off the sides empty.Please check yours in case the goats are consuming more to deal with the toxins in the smoke.See More
"I've not seen it mentioned, but an important fact is how will you can milk. The best producer is going to go "downhill" quickly if she is not milked out at each milking. Also, how relaxed both the goat and you are is a…"
"If you want goats for milk, buy only registered does from proven dairy lines.Regarding length of time milking, that will vary from goat to goat. For first fresheners, I suggest breeding them again in the fall and drying them up early.…"
