"If the remaining kid is keeping her udder even, you don't have to milk her out at all. Her body will gradually reduce production to meet the kid's demand."

"I've never seen any point in weaning kids before the day they leave the farm. It just puts another stress on them, and personally I think they'll get over losing mom quicker if they can't be calling to her all day long, day after…"

Separating kids at 10weeks?

So we found a buyer for our wethered boy Peter Pan...Because he was not disbudded in time we can't keep him.The lady whom is buying him has 2 pet pigmy bucklings that are 4months old...Though I am going to suggest she looks into getting them castrated so they don't get all stinky on her...Anyway her goats have horns.So my question is, he is 10weeks old and grazing well, but his momma and I have never bothered to try and ween him or his sister...is there anything special I need to do about this…See More

"I never say never, but it is highly unlikely that the goat would hurt the horse or pony. However, I am not a fan of putting a single goat with an equine. Goats are herd animals and need goat friends. I've received a lot of phone calls over the…"

Horns and Horses

Plan A and Plan B for dehorning our little buck (now a wether) Peter Pan did not happen...and sadly we are now in the situation of having our first born boy having horns...We were able to get his sisters done last week as hers had not grown as large...and the situation for the new 2 girls is in hand.Anyway, so now we have one goat with horns and 6 without...but I know a lady that could be interested in him as a companion goat for her horse/pony...Before I commit to selling him to her I want to…See More
