    One of my does is losing hair, and it's only January. Her neck now only has the cashmere, and all the outside hairs are gone. The rest of her body is rather patchy looking, but not thin. I can't pet her without getting hair all over me. But she's eating and drinking normally, gets lots of...
  5. Goat Frenzy
    Patches and Daisy were my very first goats. I got them from the auction house, where they had been for a while. They were pretty under weight and had multiple auction tags or residue on them. When I bought them home, Patches came down with pink eye in one eye, then the other, then both. So she...

    I have a young doe who just had really dark urine for the second time (that I've witnessed). It's so dark that it's a deep brown (possibly brownish-red). The first was back in early June and occurred around the same time, late morning. Today just happened a few minutes ago, around 11:30. When it...

    Ok so…I’m super new to goats, I literally knew next to nothing when I bought them a couple months ago. All 3 of my gals was preg. when I bought them.

    I’m so excited to share this. In case some of you dont know, my first ND doe was a purchase I should’ve done more research on. We got a doe who at the time was a first freshener, didnt do any digging on her lineage. The more I learnt, the more disappointed I was. She barely gave anything during...

    How does one go about selling a bred doe so that the buyer can register her kids when they arrive? I think I saw something somewhere about a signed breeder’s note or something like that. How does this work? What all is required? I don’t want to sell this doe to someone and not provide the...
  16. Kidding Koral
    So this doe is a first freshener and I'm actually not sure if shes even pregnant or not. Our late buck Cassius had gotten out of his pen a couple months back and had run amok among the does for probably a day ir half a day. The doe in question is about two years old and shes looking for large...

    Hey everyone, sorry is this is in the wrong place, but I just got my first buck and I’m pretty sure he’s already bred one of my does but I’m not sure. What does a successful breeding look like? On both the female and male parts? They were acting very interested in each other through the fence...
