    I Have a Nubian doe that is 16 months old and is 108 lb is this to small. She has always been under weight.
  2. Waiting Room
    Well here we are now less than a month away from the arrival of our 2024 little long earred blessings and we can't wait! Everyone is looking super wide and making nice progress on their udders. Lots of high hopes on our first year with this Chalivah jr. buck! Here is a sneak peak at the big...

    How do I teach my nubian doeling to stand in the right position, and what is the position.
  4. Beginners Goat Raising
    I am going to pick up a free nubian buck right now and I’m wondering if it’ll be safe to breed to my smaller nubian mixed doe. She isn’t a “mini nubian” she is mixed between nigerian, boer and nubian. 50% nubian. She’s on the larger side of a small goat. 75-85lbs. She’s the darker one in front...
  5. Goat Conformation
    Hello, curious what you guys think about this girl. She is a mini Nubian and is a FF with a single buckling. the buckling has been weaned and I am currently milking twice a day. She freshened on March 4.

    Hello! We're looking into milker options for our nubian does (currently only two.) I have carpal tunnel and my husband's schedule is kinda silly (12 hour shifts most days.) So we're looking into options that I can manage the milking in the morning myself without getting up at 3-4am. Our one doe...
  7. Beginners Goat Raising
    Hello! I have raised many nubian goats from bottle baby to adults throughout my life but this is my first time breeding goats. My doe had a very good birth yesterday, the doeling is healthy and drinking, though we did have to help get the flow going in my doe (once we got that first drop from at...

    I am possibly buying a bottle baby Nubian buckling!! What questions should I be asking the seller? I am more nervous about this as it’s the first time I am buying a really young goat! He is approx 2 weeks old. Looks healthy! He also has a Nice shiny coat. Thank you!!
  9. Meat Market
    I am going to try to get meat goats in this year. What breed should I keep my eye out for? Boers are really common. But I have heard many bad things about them. Spanish are in my view the most pretty! I like Savannas a lot too! I think you can make a lot of money off them! If you like Boers I...
  10. Kidding Koral
    I’ve heard that udders will fill slowly leading up to kidding but once it “pops” and gets really huge all of a sudden, then they’ll probably kid in 1-2 days. this is my does udder Wednesday morning (2/22) Wednesday night… And then…last night when I didn’t think it could get any bigger…it did...
  11. Beginners Goat Raising
    Hello everyone! I'll be getting a standard Nubian doeling at 4 days old, and would like to bottle feed. I'm still new to the world of goat ownership, and have been looking at numerous charts on how and when to bottle feed. I'm not the best at math 😆, and there have been different calculations...
  12. Goat Frenzy
    So I've really had my heart set on Kinders, but recently I've been thinking about a type of goat that was smallish, could milk great, be used for meat purposes, fiber, and pack goat-ing(maybe). I'm thinking that this combination of Pygmy, Nubian, and Angora or Mongolian would be the...
  13. 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...
  14. Beginners Goat Raising
    Hello, so I am stuck in a quandary of sorts. I really like the Nubian, and am currently on a waiting list for a standard Nubian doeling. But I'm thinking about the price. She is $450, which I thought was a bit much. Then I heard that some purebred Nubians can range from $150-700! The parents...
  15. Goat Frenzy
    What’s yalls opinion on mixed herds? I have a decently diverse herd. I have mostly nigerians with nigerian mixes, a pygmy, nubian, and a french alpine. Two of my goats have some boer in them too.
  16. Parasites

  17. Barnyard Bananza
    So recently I had my doe Theo away for breeding and she was gone about two months and just got back. She's overall doing great back in the herd except for when I am there. Her and my doe Ethel (who is also her mom) get along unless I'm around them. They lay together and eat together as they...

    My Nubian doeling (who has got to be the clumsiest thing to ever exist and will be the death of me) just jumped into her water bucket, cast first. It’s soaking wet and my father refuses to address it because there’s a week left of her cast being on and he doesn’t want to spend the money to fix...
  19. Beginners Goat Raising
    This is my first time with goats as an adult - we had Nubians growing up and I am now coming to the realization/understanding that my parents were WOEFULLY misinformed and am retroactively worried about the goats we had. We have become the owners of two absolutely LOVELY Nubian gals (and one...
  20. Health & Wellness
    Hey everyone. So... eventful night. Our Nubian doeling broke her leg, so we rushed her to the vet and he sedated her to put a cast on. No clue why, I had no say in it. But now it’s been an hour and she still hasn’t waken up completely, and the vet said it would take 20 mins. I’m really worried...
