IT'S BABY GOAT SEASON!
Here is how to properly dip a baby goats umbilical to prevent infection. Its been 2 years since the 'BIG MOVE' from our cozy tent in the White Mountains to the big city in Phoenix... but will we finally be able to get back to our roots this year??
We have tried just about EVRYTHING, and since its that time of the year, when people are starting to think about getting a few babies to start raising goats, I figured it was time to write a short blog on the different types of fencing, our experience, and what worked best!
We have an announcement on our home page, but just incase you missed it.... 'Dawn Star Ranch Miniature LaManchas' is sadly NO LONGER operational. Due to family health issues we were forced to move. We have made the very hard decision to completely dispersed the herd, and have turned the page to a new chapter in our exciting lives.
We want to thank our customers, especially those repeat customers who have opened their hearts to our animals over the years. Because of you, and your continuing support for the past 10 years our herd was able to grow and develop into what it was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us produce high-quality miniature dairy animals for the Southwest! We know the animals in your herds are bound to do great things for in the show ring and on the milk stand. We cant wait to see you at the top of the charts some day! Shalom! So you've disbudded all your goats, but wait--is that a horn?? NOPE that is a 'scur.' In this blog we are going to touch up on scurs, what they are, and what you can do about them...
Scurs modeled by 2x VCH SunCatcher Ascension 'Ace' before his were removed. Spring is almost here, and there are TONS of advertisements for "Lagerians," "Mini Nubians," "Alpine Nigerian crosses", and the list goes on. So, are these really miniature dairy goats?? Lets find out before you buy that cute blue-eyed, floppy eared 'mini.'
This is a collection of ideas on how to make the most out of your herd, and help off-set operation costs of your Homestead. Some we have tried, and some.. we are working toward trying.
