"Hi Asia
For the question about scurs- they will likely get knocked off. Sometimes they bleed and sometimes they don't. If they bleed it is usually not nearly as bad as it looks and no intervention is needed. I have noticed with my guys that the more…"

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,…

"Just to update this in case anyone cares... No babies were made between my goats. He still mounts her periodically, especially when they are a little stressed (I recently added a new wether to the herd and he kept mounting her, she was ticked). And…"
"Hi Asia
Thanks for sharing photos.
Keep in mind that bloat is very painful and causes lots of distress for the goat. And it does not just come and go on its own. It's expanding gas that is trapped and cannot be released, so the left side becomes…"

"The rumen is on the left, so it is normal for the left side to be larger than the right side if a goat has just finished eating. That is not a sign of bloat.
If she is biting at her sides, I'd look her over for lice. If you don't have 20/20 vision,…"

"The goats got out last night, just into our fenced back yard. They are stinkers and I eventually picked the male up to carry him to the pasture and he bit me, didn't break the skin, but I would really like to form a more positive relationship with…"
"We use hay pellets for hand feeding when we have guests -- alfalfa for the girls and grass hay pellets for the boys. We used to give our goats stale tortilla chips (corn) or crackers (wheat), but then one day my 10-year-old daughter went out there…"
Hi there - What are your go to treats for goats? Wethers specifically. I feed free choice loose minerals, and free choice orchard grass hay and they have free access to a couple of acres of pasture to browse. 8 month old wether and doe. I know grain…
"Yes, you are correct that she could be anywhere from a few days pregnant to a couple of months. Depending on how much your vet charges for an ultrasound, you could do one now and then again in a month. The skill of the person doing it is also…"
"Since they have always been housed together, she could theoretically be barely bred to... a couple of months along right? How far into a pregnancy is lutalyse safe? Or is there no limit? I may do an ultrasound in a month to check just to know…"
"I don't breed does until they are 40 pounds, but I do know of does that gave birth when they were only 35 pounds as long as the kid(s) was not too big. Unfortunately, they usually only have a single if they are bred that young, and singles tend to…"
