Thank-you!

I have a DIY coolerbator that has had wonderful results for the last 5 years. This past season, I fired it up but recently but have been having issues. The unit warms up to temp and can hold it fine. The issue occurs after the light clicks off. When it comes back on,there is a buzzing noise and...

Wonderful info. Thank you!!

Thank-you! Very helpful and I feel like I have direction on where to start! They are getting regular feed from the feed store and we haven't had any issues with bad feed. While I do clean their shed, with full scrub down several times a year, I am thinking this could be the area I could...

I have a question regarding what this lump may be. I am not sure how long it has been on this doe but I noticed it a few days ago. It has not changed in size and is has hard as rock! I don't feel fluid around it and I can't move the lump. She has not lost any hair on the lump. I am completely...
