    Hey everyone, I'm new here! I have five nigerian goats, and it's quite literally -40 here in BC. They are not doing so good, and I'm worried. They have a shelter packed with hay, inside a barn, they get lots of grain twice a day, and unlimited hay and minerals. But I think their legs are...

    I bred a Pygmy Buck to a Nubian/Alpine cross doe. I don’t know how far along Acorn my doe is. A friend gave me Bozo the Pygmy Buck because she didn’t like how his tail stands up[emoji23] and he wasn’t very friendly but it’s weird he’s super friendly here. He gently head butts you literally only...

    I’ve been struggling to make money from my goats. I know that may sound not so right but if you own animals you’ll understand. What I mean is when I got goats I was hoping that they would pay for them selves. Meaning the money I do make from them I would turn around a use to buy hay, feed, and...
