I need help. My gut is saying no but my mother and customer are saying YES! My customer wants to breed my dairy goat to a meet goat and eat the kids. Since the kid would be 1/2 dairy, I don't believe he should eat the kids. I strongly believe in only eating goats that are bred for meat, and...

I can see the kids moving inside my doe, is she about to pop? I have no idea when she was bred. She's making a nest and not interested in any sort of grain/treat but her udder isn't full and her vulva isn't swollen.... @toth boer goats , you've helped me a lot, so I'm hoping you can help me on...

I have one baby kid that was born January 3 2018 and she was born with no problems. Got her milk quick and her mom is always calling her to drink milk. She has always been a playful goat and today she was acting really weird. Her mom calls her and she isn’t responding she doesn’t want to drink...

We brought Betty last Aug, they said she wasn't pregnant. Then few months go by, I noticed her stomach getting bigger. I thought it was just fat, then I decided poke her stomach, one side was hard, other side is not. So that means she pregnant? And we also don't have billy in the pen with them...

Hello I am actually posting on behalf of my cousin it's been a while since Ive posted here but when I owned goats I would always ask questions on here and I would always get help and great advice. She has a male Billy goat that's about six months old she called me today and said that he wasn't...

I discovered my 4 month old nigey lethargic and hardly breathing in his pen this morning. It does not seem to be related to his rumen. No signs of bloat. He can't get up or walk- doesn't even hold his head up. Eyes are glass- somewhat open. Only make noise when he seems distressed- however...

Hello! I am new here, this is my first thread. I need some help bad. We got our first buck two days ago, a nice little Pygmy boy. He was separate from the wether we bought for company for the first night to settle down and take in the property. Anyways, wake up and Mr. Buck is in the horse...

This is my first post but I am going to get straight to the matter at hand. I have a CAE positive boer doe, who is also about two weeks from kidding. We did not know she was positive and they were both pregnant when we got them from a very reputable CAE free herd. Delilah is her name, I love her...

I have a year old doe, of whom I've noticed to have a bad limp on her front left leg. I went out into the pasture to look her over, and bent and pressed on every inch of her leg and she hardly ever winced once. But, one tender spot I found was a swollen bump just below her knee joint, the rest...

I'm far from a goat expert, I keep a few as a hobby. I have a pygmy/lamancha mix that is about 5 months old. When he was young he had a poor disbudding job therefore grew scurs. One scur was weak and flimsy, and now it's falling off? It's bloody underneath. I don't know what to do. I read to...
