Getting Goat kids

just trying to share what I have learned seeing how I am new to goats also. The individual said something that really stuck with me “I never baby my animals” to me I don’t consider basic care “babying”
Here is the information I used:

Awesome. Thanks...I don't think my care is babying my kids either. Fancy will be okay one day I honestly believe that. She wasn't handled as a young kid and she craved attention once weaned from her Mommy. She was 5 months old when I got her and I treat them with compassion daily and she is now attached to me. ❤️🐐
 
Definitely livestock first. Just like my horses. I definitely don't spoil my horses. They know there place with me. I'm tops!
I just think I'm better off only having the two goats. They behave towards me and are content. It's just Fancy has a bond to me that's upsetting. I need the pen to confine her so she learns she is okay without me with her when outside of the kennel.
Only having ‘the’ two goats, or ‘these’ two goats? Do you think the fence will fix the problem or will she just cry all day? My two new goats are criers. But, I’m weaning the kids in 10 days..so, the moms go out to the pen and other barn..all the kids in the big barn. I think, after the adjustment, and everyone is bawling..it will bond my herd. Honey and Sugar do not cry when they are with the herd, just when locked up. They want friends. Not just mom and kid. They even like the mini pigs!! I’ve heard that goats get along well with horses....is there a chance you could put them in there?
 
Awesome. That's the same stuff my friend here used too. She left me a jar incase I ever need to use it. 👍
I used ivermectin injections..and dusted them with a permethrin product...but you must clean and spray 5he barn!! Plus, you have to do both treatments ten days apart, to kill the eggs that weren’t hatched the first round. But, my route worked too. It covered biting and sucking lice...I wanted to be sure since they were pregnant.

I read the article...only thing I question...my vet told me to use the ivermectin as an injectable for lice. Can’t see hoe ivermectin is different from ivomec? Whatever..it worked for us..perhaps the shot didn’t but the stuff I put on the bodies did? I know ivomectic kills the type of lice. I think it’s the sucking..less common
 
Heck NO! My kids are not going anywhere. Fancy is here for ever! She is my girl. Ozzy stays too..👍
I'm just probably not getting Tori or Bo? I really need to think about it..My two stay and I will contain her if it's the last thing I do! :gig :barnie:lau
Oh yeah!!! I was hoping you’d say that!! You’ve just got to iron out the kinks with time. :)
