Lots of people have a friend post ads for them if they do not have Facebook. I see it all the time!

Facebook has a page called Boer Goat Trader. It is a pretty good place to sell, and you will reach all corners of the US. Include lots of pictures and registration info if you want to demand the best price.

Goat Vet Corner is the REAL page, led by Dr. Ken Brown. Posts on Goat Vet Corner are ONLY answered by the 100's of vet on the panel. You can get good advice, which often goes against layman advice. Take it all with a grain of salt. There are definitely situations where you should only listen to...

Did you get registration papers with her? What shows do you plan to compete in? 4-H? Breed shows?

She might not be getting enough milk from her Mom. It isn't uncommon with twins, triplets, etc... Kids can spiral down quickly, especially if the temps are cold, if they do not get enough milk from Mom. No milk = lower body temp = less desire to nurse and it cycles over and over until they get...

My kids were sweaters when it is cold, as do my shaved market goats if it gets cold before they re-grow a suitable coat... My ancient horses were heavy turnouts (sometimes TWO at a a time!) pretty much 24/7 until spring, to help them conserve calories. Everything that is worn "outside" is 100%...

Pounds of GOAT feed fed in 2016: 6,900 lbs (138 bags) Pounds of HORSE feed fed in 2016: 8,600 lbs (172 bags) Pounds of hay consumed in 2016: 10,360lbs (148 bales of hay, not including alfalfa)

Usually between 12-17 goats. Mainly does, I have 2 bucks and 2 wether companions. I feed "show feed" year round, which is big factor in the cost. I was feeding a brand that was running me $19-20 per bag, and just switched to a different company, with the same nutritional profile, that is $12 per...

After helping the kids with their 4-H Record Books for this year, you may not want to follow my feeding protocol.... Goats cost us $4651.71 for 2016 and the horses cost us $6256.32, for a grand total of dang near ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. I am now wishing I had NOT helped the kids with the cost...

Yes, she can develop a hay belly.... But you just have to do the best you can with the situation you have. How many other goats are in her pen (I can't find the post where you had discussed it previously)? It is going to get expensive to feed Calf Manna to all of them at a rate to benefit just...

We used Champion Drive High Octane this year. Our fair "season" is in the fall, late August - late September. Market kids have to be at 50lbs by weigh-in, so most 4-Hers aim to kid in Jan/Feb for maximum growth. We had a major set back, and didn't get 2 of our Momma's bred until late, and...

You could also switch her to a show feed and supplement for the season. Our show goats get Champion Drive High Octane during show season, along with Kent Show Goat feed (medicated with rumensin). It won't change their conformation, but it bulks them up like crazy. And their coats are so thick...

Yes, that is it. They seem to take to it faster in the summer, when it is warm and soft. New buckets in the winter sometimes get "ignored" until I trick them into licking it by putting a handful of feed or treats on the top. Then a light bulb seems to go off that yes, they do like to lick the...

Tractor Supply sells a small black bucket that is a goat protein tub. I LOVE them! I usually have one in every kidding pen, they really seem to help the does keep their appetite up and maintain weight. The goats really like them, too, and are successful at licking the bucket clean. Bonus is the...
