SO, I'm Haley! I love horses and animals but owning a horse is pretty much out of the question... A couple months ago my aunt was considering adopting goats, which got me thinking. At first I really wanted pygmy goats and it took me a while to convin
I used to use Safeguard, but realized it was not working when I would still find white eyelids. But I just read a different dosage on it and am wondering if this why it wouldn't work for me.
For my goats, I would just do 1.2 cc per 50 pounds. But t

What are the thoughts on this? I have only seen one breeder that offered "buck" service. Does anyone have any ideas on my luck with this? A neighbor has goats and she offered a buck rag for me when fall comes. My girls were a year old in March an
Okay, so after my mishap with the scale and Hansel's odd weight, I am thinking maybe he is just fat. But how does one tell? I mean his sides are big sometimes, but someone told me that is jsut a sign of a good ruminet. He looks nice when he stands ta
I just joined up. I was doing some more research online about dwarf goats and found this site. I am a single mom with two girls I adopted from China and homeschool. I work from home and we rent on 46 acres - shared with our landlord, who is
I have a doe that is 8 years old, and a few does that could be older. At what age can I start to see health problems related to age, as well as decreasing fertility and possibly kidding issues? Is it a good idea to retire does at a certain age?
I am doing a slightly humorous/serious infomercial speech where I try to sell something. For my topic I chose the Nigerian Dwarf Goat. I will be doing an infomercial type speech telling all of the reasons why someon
Well, we took the plunge and purchased some more panels and brought them home today. We put them together with baling twine (temporarily) and put the two does and the buckling inside it. One of the does spent a lots of time bleating and complaining

Hi all you ND lovers! My husband and I own a small farm in Northcentral Pa. I grew up as a horse nut (we have 3 horses) but knew I'd eventually have goats someday. Well, when a neighbor offered us a free goat (before he was even born), we couldn't s
I use Ivermectin to deworm my goats, but last night my brother told me that out of all of the different types, Ivermectin was the one I shouldn't use because the industry experts are trying to get people to use other types so there isn't an Ivermecti
Okay, so this is not totally a contest - there are no prizes - rather it is random fun contest to test the knowledge of goat owners/breeders everywhere!
If I still have you reading, I will explain the contest. On Wednesday, June 16th, my wether Han
I have a wether and a buck. My question is: how old should the wether be before putting him in with the buck? Our wether is 3 months old and the buck is 13 months old.
I know this is a Nigerian site, but does anyone happen to know of anyone who has Angora Goats in Illinois? A friend of mine from IL is looking for one!
After alot of consideration and research I have decided that I would like to purchase a couple of these little dairy goats. Does anyone know if there are any breeders in the UK? Unless I am wrong the UK seems to put these under the title of pygm

I do not wish to keep my doe in milk thru this summer and would like to breed her back. How do you go about the weaning process and then when can I breed her back? Her kids were born mid April.
My name is Tammy Knight and I live on a 5 acre farm (that will be for sale if anyone is interested :)). We have just purchased 10 acres 5 miles down the road and I am anxious to get it set up just right for all my animal family. It is bare land so it
Ok here we go! When I got home from work this evening, I let the goats out to graze as usual. I noticed Fern who has been dried up for months had an udder soooo big I could not believe it. I grabbed her and put her on the milking stand and milked
