He's not getting enough copper in his diet. Copper deficiency can lead to hair loss and a whole bunch of other problems. This goat is an example of copper deficiency. He's suppose to be solid black.

He might actually be dark chocolate. That or he's pretty copper deficient. gorgeous buck nonetheless :love

Just had a surprise delivery! My little Ingrid wasn’t due for another two weeks (or so I had thought) and to my surprise I found her pushing out a little baby while doing my nightly chores! She had QUADRUPLETS! Poor thing is a first timer too. Sadly one of the quads was a still born, and the...

We keep in touch outside of Byc :)

She's doing just fine and should be back soon ~

This is my 3rd goat birth alone. Though to be fair the first two I had caught them already with their first kid born and only got to see the second one born 😅 I’ve got all my supplies ready just in case I have to assist. I’ve assisted with pigs and cows but this’ll be my first with goats...

This little girly is finally in active labor! She’s a little early and totally surprised me today when I couldn’t find any ligaments on her this morning. She’s been having small contractions here and there and is looking real uncomfortable. Hopefully she won’t pull an all-nighter and have the...

We've got severe thunderstorm warnings broadcasting over here. There's some chance of tornadic activity as well. I've been busy staking everything that could possibly blow away to the ground all day. The storm's just now starting to roll in. Hopefully things wont get too crazy :fl

Not high at all, They're about 5 ft tall without any hot wire or framing. Same stuff i use for my poultry. 2x4 wielded wire. Guess i lucked out with my goats, they seem pretty content with their pen and don't try to get out.. :idunno

Thank you~! I’d love to give you one of my does~ it’s a shame you’re so far away.. Do you plan on breeding tori or fancy at all in the future?

Yup, Mocha is staying too. He'll be staying in my old wether's pen. The kids are doing great~ I sold the bucklings and keeping the ginger and white doeling. I haven't put the buckskin doeling up for sale yet but she wont be staying either. Tilly is really starting to bag up~! Her ligaments...

Good morning :frow Busy day today~ I have the vet coming over at 1 to give my goats their rabies shot. Then after that i'm picking up another goat 😅 Made an investment in a breeding buck with some pretty great milking lines! His name is cappuccino, here are some pics from the breeder (Can't get...

Goats can be stressing at times. If you feel that goats don't suit you anymore then there's no shame in giving them up. But i'd put up with their shenanigans just until their fence in complete and see how they behave afterwards. Then i'd decide whether or not they stay.

I don't grain my bucks at all. but when they get out all i have to do is take a grain scoop with some grain in it, shake it and they come running back to me. I don't give them grain after i put them away either. Maybe slowly cut back on Ozzy's grain consumption if you're worried about him being...

Once and a while as a treat is fine. I like to give it to my bucks before i put them in with the does for breeding but that's usually the only time i give it to them, And in little amounts too. My vet told me pure alfalfa hay is not a good diet for wethers and bucks, An alfalfa mix hay is...

I was told never to feed my wethers or bucks (unless in rut and breeding) Alfalfa pellets. Mostly because all that extra calcium will cause their urine to crystlize and that's how they get blocked and unable to pass urine. I give my does some pellets mixed with their sweet feed everyday though

I thought i saw an ad for him on craigslist, I was almost tempted to call you about him since i was already near your area visiting family! But then i remembered I have way too many goats as it is lol 😅 I loved his cute floppy ears though, glad he found a good home to go to~!

Yep, she's about 2 years old and has never been bred. She wants to lift her leg up like a dog when one of the kids starts nursing but doesn't know what to do when they both nurse at the same time and just kind of stands there awkwardly 😅

Thank you~ She's an amazing mom so far. I love the name Sunny Boy after the cereal~! i'd call him sunny for short.

The mamas and their kids today~ (Girl is the smaller buckskin and boy is buckskin with moon spots) Name suggestions? I was thinking Sugar for the little girl to go with Mama's name(Honey) But can't think of anything for the boy. (When they were born)
