After 10 years of dreaming about goats, it's finally a reality. I purchased 3 Oberhaslis last week - 2 milking does (2 year olds) and a yearling. This is all new to me. The first week seems to be going well. We're getting used to each other. I have a lot of questions, insecurities, and...

Since the Forum likes people to make an Intro, we are newly moved to a small 14 acre farm in AL. We have had Oberhasli goats and now want to consider breeding Mini Obers, among other livestock. Hi to you all and thank you for this wonderful Forum!

I am wondering how much I should sell my bred oberhasli does for? They will produce about 2 gallons a day at peak and aren't terrible show goats. I am located in northern California in a pretty urban area. What is your usual price for selling pregnant registered goats?

This is my first breeding season with my oberhasli's and I leased a buck for 45 days to get 4 does bred. A couple weeks ago one of them had white stuff coming out of her vulva. I was assuming that means she was bred? She was pretty obviously in heat. However, my other goats have made no signs of...

Frida has been here for almost a month. She went from the bottom of the country (Tucson) to the top of the country (NE Washington). Both her parents are registered AM Oberhasli, but she will be registered ER because of her unique coloring. I just love her personality!

I am a new 4H member with ADGA reg. Oberhasli's.:new here: I have two bucklings that I cannot keep. I will be trading one for a doeling and one I will be selling (I have already gotten a deposit). I heard from a 4Her that it would be illegal to sell the bucklings because I am not a breeder...

Hello, I am typing this in such excitement. My 3 yo 2nd freshener oberhasli doe is due to kid in about 6 days (march 9):leap:!!!!!! Do you think she is almost ready?? I cannot wait!! I gathered my birthing kit and shaved her backside already. I am checking her ligaments, udder, and vulva...

Hello, On the 29th I bought a pregnant doe who is due on March 9th. I wanted to get her sooner but that got delayed to to blood testing. We got her about an hour and a half drive away and she seemed pretty stressed. She was panting throughout the whole care ride and even once she got settled...

Hey y'all! I am considering breeding my oberhasli doe this season. She is a march baby so she will be 8 months in November. I would really like to get her bred this season so I can get milk. I have read many things on the web saying that 8 months or 80-90lbs is a safe minimum for breeding...

Hi guys!! I am new to goats and I will be getting two oberhasli does towards the end of November. They will be living next door from me on a great property. I will be there at least 2x a day to care and milk them. Unfortunately the property does not have a back fence or fencing in-between the...

For those who were not aware, IDGR (International Dairy Goat Registry) elected a president last month. I sent an e-mail to her (the president) asking about IDGR's Sable/Saanen policy and if Guernseys were accepted in the IDGR herdbook. This is her reply: We do currently have a policy for...

Hi everyone! I acquired a Nubian buck because I became interested in raising Nubians and figured a buck would be a good place to start even though my does are a mixed herd which doesn't include Nubians. I had mistaken my breed research as having read Nubians were cold hardy. I live in the...

I have a goat that is tattooed with UNS on her right ear and 4 on her left. She has evidence of another letter on her left ear but I can't make it out. She is approximately five years old, and an Oberhasli. We don't know much else about her, except she was shown in the Spokane Fair. We...

Okay I am looking at this doe prospectively:ponder:. She is two years old and this is her second freshening. She peaked a gallon a day :stars: on a first freshening :). The question I have is this: how does her udder look? Will it become severely detached in the future? Shes no show goat...

I have a FF that is due to kid sometime this month and she hasn't kidded yet. We got her already bred and were told that she was probably three months along at the time. Well we got her five months ago and figured now that she was bred right before we got her (the breeder had several bucks...

Hi, I have a purebred American Oberhasli buck that I would like to have registered. However his breeder does not want to go through the hassle of registering him. Both of his parents are registered, but I don't know their names. He has correct black markings and very good conformation. Can I...
