We start October 12th, so close to you guys. Thanks for all the tips. The vet got us on a medicated salt program to reduce coccidia levels and help with  weight gain. I keep hearing to use our special salt mix, but I don't think it has the needed amount of copper, so I buy some goat blocks. They...

yikes, will do

I appreciate all the help, I can't even find a professional that has as much knowledge towards this as you do when it comes to feeding and structure.  Everyone here says corn causes crystals? Has that ever happened to you? Some say it's good, some say it's bad alot of contradicting information...

So I have more mishaps then one tends to admit to. For some reason I felt it necessary to post them on facebook..........then I had two people ask me to write for newspapers and another to write a book, plus a bunch of others. It's kind of sad that I can screw up enough to come up with a book...

What do you give them for a fattening ration? Noone on this side seems to have a clue. I want to hit them with corn and barley but that will make crystals so a no go. The local mill makes some pellets based off of soybean, some corn, and a bunch of other things that works really well with the...

I think that we have been importing from New Zealand for a few years because we can't meet the US's demands.  I do the same thing you do, buy, fatten and resale. We run our own does and a breeding program along side with the feeder operation too. Everything I have read says that the boers and...

I'm thinking she's about 5 so not that old. They were bringing $1.10/lbs for just about everything here today (oregon). We had record prices last year. The highest that one of ours brought, at a meat auction, was $175 for a 125# wether. The buyer has been offering $1.40 right now, I think he is...

Maybe one of you has experienced this also. I bought a group of boer bred does from washington a few months ago. One has come into heat twice and has been bred by two different bucks, both fertile. She has kidded before, but she's a bigger framed, fatter doe. She's not very feminine. She isn't...

He doesn't have a harness, but I go out during the afternoon and in the evening and write down exactly what day they bred on.  She did have it and it was only a single. We are pretty baffled by this. She was 2 days late and it is a buckling. You might be entertained by this if you are a goat...

O lord. She's my most productive nanny. twins in march 2011 a single in January and she's huge in august. Holds weight well not really pretty but a good mom. still no baby

I think she has quads in her for as big as she is. She's now 2 days overdue and HUGE. I've had some pretty interesting birthing positions, the most common hang up I have is their shoulders are back and the people babysitting for me have never dealt with that before, let's cross our fingers and...

I know lol

Has anyone ever had to induce labor on a goat or sheep? I have a boer who is one day overdue and we need to leave tomorrow. Does the lutalayse method work? Not many people on this side show goats, but almost everyone with cattle runs them together so maybe I'll get lucky asking here.....

nice!

good point, combined with the dr who.......................

I'm thinking it's my cows genetics. Doesn't sound like grizzly throws bad attitudes

Thanks for the info, I'm really liking this calf. What were the dispositions like in yours?

Thank you. What have your takes been on the grizzlies? This one was a slower grower to me and I passed him off as plain and then he just came on over night. I'm wondering if his calves grow in spurts. In comparison, my sim angus calves have been really consistent from day 1, which is why I...

The second photo is from when he didn't really eat for a week, it's a month old, the first photo is from today, when he found his dam and started eating grass and milk again. So there is a bit of a weight difference. I still call him shithead, Joey bought him

Here is our 6 month old grizzly, I'm pretty proud of how he looks. He's still a little B)(*&^d, but he's growing on me. He sold private treaty, thought I would post a photo, see what everyone thinks. He sold for $1000
