Scurs and Horns with Attitude

I have two separate questions. First, I am taking care of a neighbor's goat that escapes their pasture so was locked in a stall 24/7, he is now living in my pasture with my 2 goats and 2 horses. He is a loner but they get along fine. My question is,…

A Year (and a half) in Review


Bought the kids July 2015. Bred Mira January, first travel and goat-sitters March, babies June, learned how to milk, sold babies August, started playing with chevre and cheddar, built cheese press, rigged a sort of cheese cave, expanded goat yard, added more play structures for the goats...

...and I keep putting off the eternal question from Willow, "Can I keep another doe next year?" I keep waiting for the proverbial bloom to fall. I waited to see if she'd get tired of the constant…

Tammy Gallagher replied to Diana O’Shannessy's discussion What colour are our two new arrivals considered to be?
"Hi Diana!
I can't help you with the answer on this, but I wanted to say THEY ARE LOVELY!!!
Combining breeds with different patterns absolutely opens the  flood gate for color potential :) 
Hopefully someone else here has a much better understanding of goat color genetics than I do, and can help you out.

Hi there, I am new to the group, relatively new to goats and live in Australia.These bubbas are hot out of the oven. These two boys were born to Peppa this morning (while I was working…of course).

Now I…

If you’ve ever thought about starting a business with your dairy goats, today’s episode will give you a lot of valuable information. We are talking to PJ Jonas, founder of Goat Milk Stuff, which sells all sorts of products made from goat milk. Although they focus on soap and body care products today, they also sold cheese, yogurt, gelato, and caramels before the pandemic.
PJ talks about why she started making soap and how it got turned…

Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Negan Wright's discussion Geeze Lady get out of my udder! Pregnancy 360
"Goats come into heat every 21 days +/- a couple of days, so if she was in heat every 15 days, she was short cycling, which means she would have been unlikely to get pregnant, and if she did, some of those heats you saw were false heats, meaning she was not actually ovulating. She obviously did not get pregnant Oct. 15 because she would have kidded last month. If she's living with a buck, you really have no idea when she got pregnant. If you're worried that she hasn't kidded yet, I wouldn't be.…"

My ND is about a year old give or take a month or two. We are empty nesters and I needed a " baby" life hack... Get a goat! We started with Oggie. Oggie got bored of the the dogs keeping him company when I went to work. So we bought him a girl friend. I'm not to new at goats as we always had a mini farm growing up but I have never seen one birthed. Fast forward, over several months ago I seen Oggie (ND buck) and Saphie (ND doe) breed. Luckily I had the sense to write it down. I hadn't seen them…
