    Goat udder...too big?

    Update: I milked her out last night and then again this morning. It takes me about 45min to finish. After I can't get anything more out of her, her teats are kind of shriveled (for lack of better description). Although her teats are nice Her udder is still low and swollen. For anybody who...

    Fawn With Bloody Stool?? Help Please!!!!

    Goat guts and deer guts are fairly similar, aren't they? I am no expert but maybe some goat probio's. Maybe place a wanted ad for fresh goat milk? I know you are trying your hardest to keep the little guy safe and healthy. Good luck with your little baby.

    Dog poop disposal

    I've got 25 dogs so I pick up A LOT of poop. I pick up twice per day into two large pails. Every other day when the pails are full I walk them to a spot in the bush on my property and compost it. I layer dog poop and straw/shavings. Over time it breaks down. There are a ton of beedles that...

    Goat udder...too big?

    I just fed the babies. They already know what's coming when they see me. They both ate when I helped them get to their knees. Then I milked Lisa (momma). But I only managed to get 1 litre of milk out of her before she started trying to lay down. She won and I couldn't get her back up...

    Goat udder...too big?

    I would milk her out completely, or almost completely, in one milking. Milking her a few times a day will make it fill up faster. O.K. I will try that instead of milking her every time before I feed the babies.

    Goat udder...too big?

    I've been helping the babies eat every two hours. They seem to be in good condition and they are even trying to play. I'm not worried about them eating because they take the teet when I help. I'd just rather them be able to nurse without assisstance. I tried to give one a bottle but he does...

    Goat udder...too big?

    I milked her quite a bit about 2hours ago and now she's just as big as before. One little guy has figured out how to lie down to eat but the other I'm still guilding to the nipple. I can't firgure out how to get him to take the bottle. I didn't milk her enough. I am going now to try to get...

    Goat udder...too big?

    I milked her so her udder is nice and soft but it seems to be still to low for babies to latch. I am just going to bottle feed for today and see if they can get a better latch tomorrow. Thanks. Holy stressful. After a sleepless and very long night, I appretiate all the help.

    Goat udder...too big?

    I don't mind bottle feeding them it's just that they want to nurse and keep trying they just can't seem to get low enough to latch on. I would love for them to nurse naturally. Momma goat is very patient with them. How much can I milk her and still not take all of the colostrum from the...

    Goat udder...too big?

    Yah, no kidding that's enormous isn't it. I couldn't milk her until she delivered. I milked a little off of her after the babies arrived just to relieve a little pressure. But I didn't want to milk too much because I didn't want to waste the colostrum. Would you give them a bottle or just...

    Goat udder...too big?

    Hi, sorry this should be on the BYH but for some reason I can't get registered. Anyway, my goat kidded two little bucklings this morning and they are having trouble nursing. Her udder is so enormous that they are looking for teats in the wrong place. I have assissted them and they have nursed...

    Am I nuts???!!

    This is my mal Hudson. We also had his brother and another female at one time. This is Valley as a puppy All dogs are individuals but as a generalization, mals tend to be dog aggressive. They are more trainable compared to the other northern breeds and ours have done well with obedience...

    Show me your dogs!

    rizq, cold is def. the worst part of mushing. Even with good gear it can get pretty nasty. I bet you'd have so much fun with schuhtzund. Those dogs learn so much control and disipline it is amazing to watch. I was at a herding workshop last month and there were a few GS's herding sheep and...

    Show me your dogs!

    PotterWatch, I think that is great that you mush too. It is such a good way for dogs to get REAL exercise and to have a feeling of purpose. I truely believe all dogs need to work to be balanced and happy. All dogs can be trained to pull and they get so much enjoyment out of it. Hooray for...
