I have a 12 week old buckling who seems to have ZERO instincts. Like he doesn’t stay with the herd at all. Isn’t scared of new things or animals. Just seems oblivious to what’s going on around him. I thought maybe he was blind but that’s not the case. I will say he was raised inside for 2-3...

Help!! I spotted this dandruff-like stuff on my bucklings legs, from just below his knees to his ankles. None on the rest of his body. It smells like pee. He is only 4wks, surely not peeing on himself yet??He has lice… I am getting rid of them. He recently moved outside. He is on whole goats...

As you may know from my other thread, I am getting a Nubian bottle baby buckling on the 5th of April. I just learned I may have to go away on the 7th 🫤 and so someone else would be filling in for me. But I really wanted him to bond with me, and if I have to go away will he still bond with me...

Well… I just spotted a REALLY nice Nubian buckling for sale. He’s 2 weeks old, a bottle baby. Only problem is… I don’t have a buck pen. So I was wondering if it would be ok for him to live with the does for a while? Until we build a buck pen, and get him a buddy. Two of three girls are about to...

I just wanted to share a picture of my new buckling and his wether buddy. They left California bound for the eastern US this afternoon. Hopefully better pictures to come! They look pretty freaked out at the moment. I hope they are able to relax a bit. Wether on the left, buckling on the...

I’ve been trying to get my bottle baby used to being outside. He stays out most of the day but comes in when it rains, too cold, and at night. The other 5 goats, 2 does, their two bucklings and my wether won’t let him in the barn, yet. They are starting to get along tho. Anyways, when I try to...

So, I couldn’t help myself and I brought another buck home 😆 Captain is a Nubian/boer mix. He’s almost 8 months old, so has plenty of growing left to do. I’m going to see about giving him one of my open girls tho so I can see his kids before having to wait another year.

If things go well I plan to start breeding the 1st of Dec. 13-15 Nigerian dwarf does in all, for may kidding. I will be breeding with 2 bucks one is a 3 year old and the other is my junior buckling. He was born April 9, so he will be 8 months when I breed. He's not very bucky, just starting to...

Hi y'all! I would like completely honest opinions on these two castration methods...all the pros and cons. I heard that banding can lead to tetanus, but it is sure to work, but I also heard that the burdizzo was less painful, but isn't guaranteed to work the first time. What are y'all's...

When can I breed my buckling? He is 19 weeks (almost 5 months) and Im wanting to breed him this fall to my doeling who will be ready to breed this fall. If I breed in December that mean he’ll be 9 months or so. Im worried that’s too early. I breed in the fall so babies are born in spring when...

It’s time for me to return to the forum once again after a lengthy break! This time I come with good news- exciting news, even! quite a while ago I was looking at some new lines to add to my herd. I wanted good lines too, not just something that would put milk in the pail, but something that...

I'm wondering if a Nigerian Dwarf buckling without registration can be registered NOA?

Hello everyone, I've recently gotten a very sweet, nearly 2 1/2 month old buckling that I plan to train as a pack goat. I would like to get him castrated at 4 months so as not to stunt his growth. He is currently living as part of a mixed herd here on our farm and we'd rather not have any...

I have a doe who gave birth on March 2nd. I just recently sold her son, she had twins, girl and boy. I’ve noticed that her udder is filling up and im wanting to know if i need to milk her or not. It looks like it did when she bagged up the day of giving birth. The girl still nurses and i think...

I have an Alpine buckling that is 9, almost 10 weeks old who i want to eventually use as a driving goat. I am wondering if I should band him now or wait. Im asking because according to what i’ve read wethers are smaller than bucks and im looking for a large goat which he is already showing...

just including a picture of Copper; although he is a little bigger now We bought a registered ND buckling about 2 weeks ago now. He’s been fine but since we’ve had him we’ve noticed he does actually have horns; they’re not growing as they would of course because he was supposed to have been...

I have an interesting case here. Has any one experienced a kid that nurses from multiple does? I have a two week old buckling who’s mother is a FF. She takes good care of him, nurses him, cleans him, and responds too his calls. I have noticed him following around one of my older foes who has...
