Snowbell Farms Nigerian Dwarf Goats

We have been battling mastitis (pseudomonas arguinosa) in a goat for the last 6 months. I finally have the blog post done and the link is posted for anyone who is interested in our unconventional treatment. She is a long one so be prepared! Any questions leave a comment! Hope everyone enjoys.

"Mastitis" the word we all hate to hear. One of our goats was diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa, the resistance test was performed and the bacteria came back resistant to all the antibiotics it was tested against. We were very much aware that she may have to be put down but I wanted to give something a try outside of the vets reccomendations (which were going to be pricey). We have spent the last several months treating her holistically to get her completely dried off. She has been dry now for 2 weeks with no fever and she is a healthy happy goat looking for a forever pet home(if anyone you know would be interested). I will be documenting our care/treatment plan and can share with anyone that may be interested. Obviously this may not help/work for every goat but it has definately worked out for us.

Our county fair is done and we had a really great show. 1st place showmanship, Champion junior doe, champion senior doe, grand champion doe and best doe in show. Our 4 year old Olliemae Farm TS Jasumin stole the show today!

It was a hot one but we stuck it out and it payed off big time! 1st place dairy goat showmanship, 2nd place pygmy goat showmanship, and Overall Reserve Champion Showman of all ages. We are ready for our local county fair. Thank you to everyone that made that show a success and to Reed Ranch Pygmies for letting us borrow Tony for the day!

Today was so much fun, my first time being able to judge a dairy goat showmanship class for a local club. I had a lot of fun and even got the chance to show a pygmy goat and a chicken! Thank you to the Rickett's and Reed Ranch Pygmies for letting me borrow your animals and to Jennifer for asking me to be a judge! A day I will not forget.

Deposit received****In milk! Olliemae Farm JM Vanilla Bean (PD2160655), registered Nigerian Dwarf 3YO 2F. "Beanie" has great brisket extension with a nice level topline but could use a bit more dairyness overall. She is a very easy keeper, great on the stand, and can be hand or machine milked. Scored a GVVG 83 on her LA appraisal as a FF. Located in Bakersfield, CA from clean tested herd. PM for more details if interested.

We did it. We purchased a new herd sire. With the help of OllieMae Farm we were able to snag up this guy. Thank you Teri at Sonview Ranch for giving us this opportunity. We are hoping he will do big things for us. Welcome home Sonview Ranch Ryden!

We are picking up a new addition tomorrow and are so excited to get home with it! The little house is all ready and waiting.

Well 1st show is in the books and we placed middle of the road. I take that as a huge win. There were a lot of great breeders there with all of their exceptional does. (I swear this goat loves being in the show ring....Olliemae Farm JM Vanilla Bean)

Olliemae Farm TS Peach Melba was the last doe to kid for the year, she got spoiled in the kidding pen during pre-labor and she gave us 2 healthy little doelings!
