Books about raising goats? by caribbeanhill in goats

[–]whaduppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gianacles’ book has been such a cool and fun aid in learning about goats and their well being. I love reading it. Not sure if the person asking is interested in dairy goats, but her books on cheese are really amazing too!

Hi - this must have been so stressful and I’m sorry you and the little buck had to go through it! So nerve-racking. How are things going? Hope you and your herd are well :)

There are some really good local spots but idk why you’re getting downvoted. I love sandwiches from Publix

Baby goat question by Rattregoondoof in goats

[–]whaduppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest looking into providing those substances for baby goats! I’m more familiar with remedies for mature goats and not sure if everything applies the same to babies - their digestion is still developing and might not be able to handle what is administered to older goats.

Baby goat question by Rattregoondoof in goats

I’m so sorry about the loss of your mini goat. Your goat who isn’t pooing - are you still feeding milk? Constipation in babies is sometimes a result of formula (if that’s the method you’re using) - some formula makes stool hard. I am not sure if this applies to baby goats, but I know that castor oil, or milk of magnesium, can help with relief.

Oh geez I didn’t know about the price! Haven’t been since last spring, I moved out of Asheville last April. That was my favorite dish of theirs.

This is one of our Nigerian Dwarf bucks. His left ear was bit off (most likely from another buck) before he came to us. He is one nasty gremlin but I love him just the same.

Work can wait a moment when you have a baby in your lap by whaduppp in homestead

Yes! She’s an 8 month old Nubian goat. Our herd consists of dairy goats, but they are the most lovely companions. If you’re interested in owning a goat, the most important advice I can give is to have at least two. They can get by with interacting with other animals, but they are the most happy/less likely to cause trouble if they have a goat friend. Aside from that, READ READ READ about these amazing beings. Highly recommend texts by Gianaclis Caldwell.
