Y’all be careful out there the next few days. Check on your critters and make sure they can stay dry. And remember, a full belly keeps a goat warm, so don’t skimp on hay, alfalfa, and grain.

Tube Feeding Neonatal Small Ruminants: An Essential Skill for Sheep and Goat Farmers (by Susan Kerr, DVM)

It is essential that sheep and goat producers learn how to tube feed young animals. This simple procedure can often save a young animal’s life, thereby increasing lambing and kidding crop rates and enhancing profitability. With a brief amount of instruction and a little practice, even children can perform this crucial task quickly, safely and effectively.

You may wonder why we pull back into the syringe when giving injections in the vein. This picture explains why. We don't pull back to make sure we're in the vessel, we do it to make sure we're in the RIGHT vessel. Today I went to give an injection and pulled back and saw blood brighter than I wanted. I decided to go and get a new dose of sedation and once again pulled back and then gave my dose of sedation. The syringe on the left was my first injection and the syringe on the right was my second injection. Does anyone know why I shouldn't have injected that first syringe? And had I injected that first injection, what would have happened?

Ok Party People, the first set of babies all leave tomorrow. We have 1 buckling remaining if someone wants to come pick him up tomorrow. He is $40. Comes from some of our favorite stock!! No registrations being done this year.

We have 24ish more does left to kid… thanks BB for that lol…

I have 2 names left on the waitlist currently… If you want good stock at crazy cheap prices, this is the time!!!! Selling these babies at 1/5 of normal unregistered price and 1/10 of our normal papered price…
We are sending the baby goats out as soakers this season. That means they are gonna need to be picked up between 24-48 hours old. They will get colostrum and if the buyer wants them to have cdt shots we will do that also. $40 ea male or female. All Nigerians- from excellent registered and unregistered stock but we are not registering any of the babies this season….
They Can be brought back to the farm for disbudding at 7-10 days old for $25 ea. Can also be brought back at 12 weeks old for castration (males only). $25 ea- for banding. Includes pain meds and tetanus shot.

Why are we doing this?
This season we are sending out several of our does in milk on loan to a family in need of raw goats milk. So for us to help this family, we need to get the babies sold and moved out on bottles as fast as possible. Please help us help them by supporting us and getting some nice goats at a steep discount!!

As each doe delivers we will take pics and message those on the wait list first in order. If you want to be put on a call/message list so we contact you before posting, Just message me and let me know.

Once we are finished kidding out, we will be updating all of the vaccines and herd health needs and will begin posting goats for sale. I already have a list going of who Im selling so if there’s something you are looking for let me know!! Again, steep discounts as we have to cut numbers! Registered and unregistered adult stock available…

Please spread the word!! We MUST sell down this year… Nigerian bucks and does, some mini nubians, mini toggs, and mini alpines, wethers, full alpines, possibly others as well!!

The dam has broken… 4 does kidded in the last few hours… babies everywhere… many more does left to kid… bear with us as we navigate through this… I will begin messaging folks on the wait list first…
Bucks, does, moon spots, “tricolor”, blue eyes, brown eyes, polled, horned…

Get on the wait list if you want good quality babies at a super cheap price as this is the one season I will be offering soakers… this is not something we usually do but between helping a family in need and navigating illness, we just don’t have the time or spoons to add more to the list of work…..

They will be 4 weeks old on Friday… we started litter training today and they are eating wet/dry mix puppy food and stealing adult dog food. They have found their voices and their legs! In 2 weeks we start vaccines!!
