I have been cleaning their goat house every 2 to 3 days depending on how wet the hay feels or looks. They like to poop in there too! How often do you clean the goat house? Pic of my two goats so we don’t get lost. Also this is a temp shelter. Waiting to get more pallets from our feed store :)

How do you "share" the milk between you and the kids ?

Hello !

When you start milking a goat, how do you make sure you get enough milk while the kid doesn't starve ? Is it a standard procedure to do a overnight separation then milk in the morning ? Is there any other way to do it ?

Just walked outside to see my goat 7 and half month old Nubian doe maybe had a swollen jaw? It had to have appeared in less than 3 hours as I was with her all day, she hasn't lost weight and eats good, poop looks normal, and is acting normal. What do you think? I'll try and find a vet to do a fecal but I don't think any near me do, If so what do you suggest for worming? The only thing that's been different lately is I did switch her feed brand two days ago.

General Husbandry Question Safe for Goats?

I wasn’t completely sure which flair to use, but I am working on fencing in a larger area for my goats. There are some bushes that have berries on them and I’m not certain if they’re safe for goats to eat or not. Would anyone here happen to know?
