@TheGreenfrog140 When we first got into goats, before the Boers, we had brush and lots of Pygmy goats. We sold all of them out but we always loved them. Last Feburary we got 5 heavilty pregnant Nigerian Dwarfs and fell in love all over again. That Spring we sold out of the boers. Now we have almost 50 head of goats, with only 3 being any other breed. They are much more worm resistant, and hardier and thrive more. They are cuter too, and can have blue eyes. I've always liked Dairy goats too.
@TheGreenfrog140 Goats need atleast a 3 sided shelter. We provide Calf huts and other shelters for them. Small goats and babies can use doghouses as well! :) We had an old goat that wore a mini horse blanket. She did well in it. Goats grow thick winter coats that keep them warm. But warm dry bedding also helps. Goats get a mixed grain. Ours get oats. corn. soybeanmeal. black oil sunflower seeds all mixed with mollases. Feed keeps very well in rubber barrels to keep out mice and weather.
@DJDangersJessiJane How do you make them worm for winter? do you have jackets for them? my uncle had two horses .. he would make the horses wear jackets in severe harsh winters.. otherwise their natural thick hair were good enough to resist the winter for them. I wanted to also ask you about the feed.. what do they eat? how kind of feed can be preserved?
@DJDangersJessiJane what is registered goats and unregistered goats? obviously to register you will have to spend some money? that probably comes out of your profit perhaps?
I heard the Nigerians and Pygmy goats are for milk and boers are for Meat? is this true?
@TheGreenfrog140 Everything we ever did with the goats was worth it. Getting into goats in the first place was the best thing we ever did. They are very enjoyable and make your day, everyday. All the hard work you do will be backed and more by the happiness they bring. We've had our fair share of hardships, but we are plenty experienced now. We've had goats for 10 years. Raised boers for 6 years. We are just now getting into the miniature goats, THAT was the best thing we've done so far. :)
