    Swollen Goat Vulva

    Thanks. I used to have goats years ago but never bred any of them. They were mostly show wethers. And help my neighbors feed theirs when they go on vacation once a year. The older doe I have is the mother to the one in question and she never swelled like that. I was worried something was...

    Swollen Goat Vulva

    I have a doe that I put in with the buck the last weekend of Nov 2024 She still has about 1 1/2 more month + to go as I don't know the exact day of breeding. She's a first time 2 year old.

    Has anyone used a plastic container as a brooder?

    I was using an old plastic recycle bin with an old oven rack till I seen my little sister using the hardware wire. I never had a problem with plastic.

    Has anyone used a plastic container as a brooder?

    I use them all the time. I cut the center of the top out and zip tie hardware wire on it. That gives me a way to set the heat light on top. And I use puppy pads in the bottom. I have never had any issues and I've been doing it for around 5 years now. My little sister gave me the used and she's...
