HI Gang, Well, Annika's breeding didn't take. We're sad, but it's for the best. She'll be 13 next month. She's been in excellent health, although it has gotten much harder to keep weight on her this winter (Central Maine). She has no problems eating - teeth are great, etc., but her appetite...

I’m stumped as to what could possible have caused this injury on my goats back. It looks like she got bit but I have no idea. Does anyone have ideas on what this could be and what I can do for it? Thank you!

MY 3-year-old wether was diagnosed with a pelvic fracture via x-ray about two and half months ago. The vet provided pain medication and told me to separate him from the other goats in a small area so he could heal. We did that and when he was still not getting better we got a second xray - vet...

Hi folks, I have a 2nd freshener who always gets a little thickening and lumpy during her heat. Her milk production drops a considerable amount during heat. She just finished a heat and one side of her udder is still thick and her milk has serum in it. There are no clots, blood or smelly...

We're new to goats (6 weeks since we bought our first 4 goats), and this seems like a potentially bad problem. One of the boys, 12 weeks old now (born April 21) has torn the sac of his testicles away from his body. Pictures are on Google Drive at https://goo.gl/VKnYu9 . An elastrator band was...

Hello. We moved across the state a month ago and one of our does got injured during transport. In the close quarters in the trailer, she got hooked in the udder by the herd queen's horn. Her udder became swollen and rock hard on one side and the milk was off color- I believe there was blood in...

I have a 6 month old wether who I noticed limping slightly about a week ago, but I couldn't identify any source I reason. My husband trimmed his feet to be sure they were not the cause and we waited to see if he got worse. When I fed yesterday, I noticed that he won't put any weight whatsoever...
