    Castration

    If you're planning on doing it yourself I highly recommend this bander for the bigger guys http://www.nobull.net/bander/SBsummary.htmlj This is what our vet used. Less invasive than surgically castrating them. Of course you'll need to make sure they're utd on tetanus and you'll have to sedate him.

    Castration

    Depends on how big he is. I banded our 6 month olds with no problem. We recently acquired another bull that is too large for my bander. Our vet will charge us $2 to sedate and $10 to band.

    Is this CL on my goat?

    That's not CL. Definitely has some serious skin issues going on. Lice, mites...etc. I'd be taking the poor thing to have a skin scraping done.

    GOATS: CAE and the chances.

    I would never buy a goat from a breeder who had CAE + goats. Find someone else who has a negative herd. Ask to see the lab results also. I would never go by anyones word.

    Well of course your last goats favorite treat was chicken feed because they're not suppose to eat it! I bought a doe from someone on BYC. Her brother apparently bred her when they were only 2 months old. She didn't tell me this and I only found out when I went out to feed and found 2 cold...

    This goat's a pain in the expletive. I need advice please.

    Most goats can be tamed I say this because I got a wild 4yr old pygmy/nigi doe last winter. The previous owners had owned her for all of those 4 years. They never trimmed her hooves in 4 years or paid any attention to her. She was crazy wild... She's been with us a year now. I can trim...

    difference between eating neutered and unneutered goats

    Quote: I've said it before, and I'll say it again... If people had to get a license to eat meat, and if getting the license required killing, gutting, skinning, aging, deboning, and processing at least one large mammal (deer, sheep, goat, steer, etc), there would be a whole lot more...
