Like with Buckshot?

Out of curiosity, how would you stop them if allowed?

Also, as you know goat milk is the universal food for newborns, once word gets out, you may have a steady stream of people searching for fresh goat milk. I have saved a Clydesdale foal, a crea, pigs, puppies galore, kittens, and a baby camel.

My 2 cents. Just like with rabbits, the kits may or may not be as great as their lineage. So I vote for an adult preferably in milk. If not perhaps bred. The thing is why not get what you want. We all are on God's timeline. We don't know his plans. Enjoy the dream goat. Worst case scenario, it's...

I think dairy goats are the bomb diggity! I have 15 right now. However..... They are not pets. They have a job. Give me milk so I can make cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. How much milk do you need a day? Are you ready to milk Every Day? For me the answer is yes. Everyone should have a couple...

Teeny Tiny Teats are a concern unless you buy a milking machine.

Uh oh. I didn't know that. Guess I'm lucky I didn't get sick.

I took the bones and made a tasty broth. Stuffed the meat in 1qt jars, added a tidge of broth for seaoning, and pressure canned for 75 min. At 12lbs for my altitude. However, I have done it again since then. I no longer de bone to can. Its not necessary. And my knife skills are lacking. Along...

He didn't do it today.

We are actually parked in Texas for another week before heading to CA. So he is in temporary set up. When I get him home he will have a normal set up. Will see if he does it again tomorrow.

My buck is new to me. He is young. And in a,new environment. The last two mornings when I go out to feed & clean he has his feed bowl filled with pee. He moved the bowl to different corners. So today I gave him a different bowl. This is a temporary set up. So no J feeder. Any Ideas on the...

You only see posts like that because people are seeking advice. In my newness of all this, (It will be 1 year on June 15th.) We have had 8 litters. Very few problems. None actually that weren't created by me.

I just finished deboning my first rabbit. It was messy, and nothing like the videos I watched. But I didn't cut myself. The end product was 2lbs. 12 oz. Of meat and 1 lb. of bone. But I didn't weigh the head, pelt or feet so I can't calculate bone to meat ratio. Now to try the canning part.

I'm married. My husband will dispatch wild rabbits and other varmits, but will not do the "Baby Bunnies". And at 8 weeks they do look pretty cute still.

Those are beautiful

I had the same thing with one of mine. Astrex. It all grew back.

I put a kit from a litter of 12 into a litter of 7 at 2 weeks old. The 7 were 4 days younger. But they were bigger. Doing fine together.

A pot belly pig is not the same as a meat pig, because there is so much fat. A nice meat pig is different. Think BACON. Sheep are pretty easy. And Goats too. We have dairy goats so that's a huge bonus. I actually trade some of my rabbits for salmon.

I got a free rex buck that had horrible sores on his hocks. He was 6 months old and was supposed to be butchered. But he was so beautiful. His fur was so soft. So I decided to try some creative healing. I trimmed his nails and painted the sores with liquid bandage. Put some smooth wood boards...

I have a binder. So paper.
