  1. Meat Market
    Hi all, my show wether recently seemed to have lost a lot of his appetite for grain a few weeks ago. He’s also lost some weight when he should be gaining (last month he was 71 lbs, now he’s 65–he should be over 80). I had him on 5-6 cups of Sunglo goat feed daily, split evenly between two...
  2. Chickens & Poultry

  4. Show Circuit
    For those of you that attend/host goat shows… what is the process and how do you get everything to work? I would love to host one where I live as there aren’t any around, but have never attended a show either. What does the day usually look like? How much would it cost?
  5. 4H/FFA Corner
    Joined FFA and become interested in goats. I have no experience. I’m interested in Nigerian Dwarfs (but also thought possibly 1 Nigerian dwarf and 1 Pygmy?). what’s it like? How does showing work? I come from dog showing, so not sure how similar it is. anything else? Thank yoy

    So, I've been showing goats for two years now (this year was the first that I showed almost every weekend) I have a chance to go to a bigger fair, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I might not get that chance next year. I feel like I should go, but I really don't want to get in the ring and...
  7. Goat Frenzy
    This will be my first ever show and OMG am I nervous!! We decided to go last minute and sent in enteries -- I'm getting everything gathered and ready... and going a little nuts. This week has been the only time my girls have ever been led, let alone posed. I'm new to this all and it definitely...
  8. Show Circuit
    Hi! I have 2 year old who has always been difficult about her back end. You touch anywhere near her tail or back legs and she starts bucking like crazy. I even had the vet out because I thought something was wrong. Nope, just a diva. She is a FF and is due early May. I want to show her in June...

    until now we have only had pet goats. My daughter very badly wants to get a Boer wether this spring to raise and show at the county fair. She is a year too young to show through 4h. She does not want to sell the goat, she will retain him as her pet. What are her options? I’m having a terrible...
  10. Goat Management
    Okay so I have 3 babies going with their mom to the fair in 4 days, they wouldn’t normally have to be tattooed by then, but so was told because I paid for an adult goat that I’m not taking that I could show a baby. These babies will be about 2 weeks by the show. If I show one she would have to...
  11. Show Circuit
    Hello! I'm going to a show on Monday that required scrapie tags and if I ordered them it would be $35 in shipping to get here by then. I was wondering if I can just use identification tags from the store? Wpuld they notice if my goat only had a identification tag? I literally need just 1 tag for...
  12. Show Circuit
    Hey, looking into the ADGA shows on thier website, there's not a single one in VA. Is it not updated? I know they are missing at least 1 show on their site because there is a buck show an Ameila county in a few weeks that is adga sancitioned, and I can think of a few others that were in...
  13. Show Circuit
    Ok so I was looking over the entry form for a show I am going to, and it says I need a scrapie tag. I have never seen a dairy goat (in show) with a scrapie tag, but I called to see where I can get one anyways. After many calls, I got nothing. I am extremely confused. So here are my questions...
  14. Show Circuit
    I have two junior girls, one born 4-5-18, the other born 4-24-18, that I’d like to show, however I can only show one goat at a time. Is it possible to “lease” out one of the doelings to someone else to show them at the same time? I’m the only name on my ADGA account and, since I’m a youth...
  15. Beginners Goat Raising
    Okay I grew up with cattle we had a couple Nubian but wild dogs got rid of them by the time I was old enough to remember. I'm wanting to get into Boer goats. I've got my fencing bought and 3/4 done got a large barn we use to store close to 300 round bales in every year. I'm going with woven wire...
  16. Meat Market
    I feed him 3 pounds Jacoby's red tag, 1 pound fitter 35 supplements. I run him about 6 times back and forth, and stand him on two bricks for at least 30 minutes. what are some suggestions and tips you have? how does he look in your opinion? I also included a video of him.
  17. Goat Frenzy
    I'm showing my goats a week from now and it's still rather chilly here, so I don't want to wash them (and myself) with a cold water hose. I still have to clip them, and wondered if anyone has a recipe for a good DIY waterless shampoo, just something that will take most of the dirt off my...
