Show goats are held to strict conformational standards, but we often overlook the fact that our own herds would benefit from those same conformational standards. Extra teats, bad legs, weak pasterns, and crooked faces may sound as though they aren’t…

"Thanks, Tammy! I really appreciate you sharing the video and Deborah's perspective. The points about potential over-supplementation and the cost-effectiveness of other options like SweetLix make a lot of sense. I hadn’t considered the complexities…"
"Hi Matthew
Deborah, the author of the referenced mineral article, does not recommend mineral buffets. She explains why in the attached video. I hope this is helpful for you :)

I keep seeing mineral buffet options more and more like this one, Mineral Buffet from goatcare.com

Hello everyone! Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Elena and I'm new to Nigerian Dwarfs. My daughter rescued a 3 year old last year from a herd that was bullying her. That was our first one and she's been on our homestead with our donkey for the past year. My daughter has been the one to care for them up until now that I'm taking a more active role. I just purchased 3 more NDs this weekend. 2 wethers and a doe, all 6 months old. This is all very new to me, but I'm excited.
Hello All! Thank you for accepting me. I am getting my goats next week. New goat owner. And so excited. My goal is to raise them for milk and to make cheese to sell locally. I have always loved goats and look forward to continuing to learn more. We have gotten everything ready for them and can't wait!!!
Hello group. GlennArt Farm has been in existance since 2011. In 2023, we accidently became a Mini goat santuary. For 2024 we will have two retired full size Saanan goats and our five mini goats. Thank you for you support of goat care. I have admired and communicated with Deborah Neimann for several years. We are providing the Chicago public with a 'farm experience."
David and I are taking a long transition vacation from September to January. We are seeking a place for our full size goats (3) to dry out and board until we get back. If you have space and interest in milk for the fall please contact us at glennartfarm@gmail.com.
Peace,
Carolyn Ioder
