    Really Need advice on Baby Goat

    I’ve been raising goats for 17 years. If you change their feed abruptly or allow too much lush pasture when they are not used to it, they can get what is called “bloat,” which is very serious. Gas and foam accumulate in their stomach causing their stomach to swell. It causes discomfort, then...

    Long story short, I took two roos and a hen to our small local fair. Turns out the poultry judge didn't show, and one other lady and I were the only ones who brought chickens. When I checked mid-week, they still hadn't found a qualified judge, but the official said the lady that brought the...
