I have a buckling that was just born 12 hours ago. We noticed right away he was having trouble getting up on to his back legs and when he did he walked on his toes not his hoof. I checked on him this morning and he is getting around better but still

Read more…Okay, my little Nigies are 9 months old now. I adore them but I have a little problem. The little doe, Phoebe, screams her head off when she comes into heat every month -- for about 3 days.
When I say scream...I mean blood-curdling, piercing, non-s

Read more…One of our goats is being bothered by her left hind foot, but I can't figure out why.
Whenever she's on a hard surface (I don't see it as much when she's on grass or straw) she simply won't stand on that foot, she'll keep it lifted off the ground.

The twins are exactly a month old. I started milking at two weeks, maybe three or four times a week. I have milked her every day this week.

Now I have a polled buckling that we've decided to keep. (He's blue eye

Read more…We had a logo done up for our farm/cheese-making business and we haven't decided if we'll use it yet. I'm interested in other people's opinions on it. SalayView means Sun View. For some reason it won't embed properly in the post so I've had to attach
Read more…I have a doe whose parents both had blue eyes, but she has brown. Is there any possibility that her off spring could have blue eyes? I bred her to a brown eyed buck. From the charts I was looking at is seemed not possible. Just curious!
