The only girl of the season... so far. She is out of Northwest Goats Lil' Prissy and Goat Town USA Powerhouse. She had a little rough start in life but is doing great now. Prissy, her mom, is now 10 years old, so a single doeling isn't too bad I'd say ;). Her name is Breathtaker.</div>

Yesterday Wheezee - one of our spotted Nubian does - kidded to a big healthy single buckling who is brown/white spotted. Then a few hours later our big paint Boer doe kidded to another single spotted (blonde/white/black) buckling. Both are out of our spotted Nubian boy from last year - Heartbreaker.<br />
<br />
What a way to start kidding season - 2 single boys? Hopefully this isn't a representation of what the rest of the year holds ;). But they were both super easy kiddings and everyone is healthy... I'll take that any day.<br />
<br />
Pictures later, Lord willing!<br />

Life has been busy as usual. All the does are bred, and kidding should start February 1st. In the meantime, we are enjoying a little "vacation" with chores being so easy - we only have 5 does in milk that we are milking once a day, there are no kids to bottle and feeding is a pretty easy chore. I am enjoying my sleep-in time while it lasts, because the kidding chart is filled which means lots of fun and not much rest in just a few short weeks :).<br />
<br />
Today I have some sad news to share with you though. If you have been a follower of my blog I am sure you have seen posts about a little goat named Trauma. She was a single kid born in March of 2012, who was born with a deformity - a crooked neck. From the moment she was born her sweet little face made her so hard to not fall in love with. We named her Trauma, I gave her lots of loving care. She learned how to walk and would come to her name like a puppy. She acted more like a dog than a goat, and was always in the milk room during milking time.<br />
<br />
She lived with not too much trouble considering her crooked neck, but always seemed to have a little trouble breathing because of the way her neck was shaped and very often had a runny nose - which was fixed with a little tissue ;). The past few weeks tho she has seemed to not be doing too well. I did what I could but last night I knew it was time for her to go and she passed away laying in the fluffy straw she slept in every night.<br />

SuriyahGood Goatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766286468726164194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475136205666795965.post-17207124968505856852013-09-25T10:42:00.002-07:002013-09-25T11:35:08.555-07:00Goat WormersI was asked to type up the many different types of wormers that can be used on goats. So, here we go.<br />
<br />
My personal favorites as far as how well they work are the injectable Tramisole (levamisole) and Cydectin Pour-On (given orally to goats). Tramisole is unfortunately not on the market anymore to my knowledge - thankfully I have a large bottle given to me by an old time breeder. I only use the Tramisole sparingly due to this, and usually use Cydectin with good success.<br />
<br />
No goat rearing is going to be successful and worm free, especially here in the wet south, without proper feed, watering, minerals and worming - all on a good, consistent schedule. One way to help keep worms under control is by copper bolusing. Copper bolus' help keep the worm population under control, especially in the cases of bottle jaw. Goats should be copped bolused 3-4 times a year.<br />
<br />
Another great way, and really the only way to tell which kind of wormer you should use on your herd, is by doing fecal testing. Many people do this on their own with their own microscope. If you do not know how to do that, ask your vet. Most vets only charge $10-$15 for a fecal sampling.<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: I am not a vet. Use these dosages at your own risk. These are the dosages that have worked for many years for many goat breeders. Always use medication with caution and correctly weigh your animal.<br />
<br />
Goats metabolize wormers differently than other animals - drugs clear their system faster. As a result, goats require higher doses of wormers for effective treatment. Most of the wormers available for use on livestock are not labeled for us in goats and so are not labeled with the correct dose for goats. For a treatment to be effective, you need to use the correct dose. Please not that most of the doses given for goats on this site are "extra label" (Extra label means that the dosage given for goats differs from that found on the bottle and/or the FDA has not cleared their use in goats).<br />
<br />
These are the name brands and then the class of wormer. There are other wormers on the market, but these are the most commonly used and most effective in goats.<br />
<br />
Ivomec - <i>Ivermectin</i><br />
Treatment & control of: Lungworms, gastrointestinal roundworms, larvae, lice, mange mites & cattle grubs. External parasites.<br />
Dosage:<br />
Given orally to goats, at the rate of 1 cc per 50 lbs. Lately, many breeders have been using a higher dosage at the rate of 1 cc per 34 lbs with great success.<br />
Safe for use in pregnant does.<br />
<br />
Valbazen - <i>Albendazole</i><br />
Treatment & control of: Lungworms, gastrointestinal roundworms, stomach worms, tapeworms, intestinal worms & liver flukes (adult).<br />
Dosage: 1 cc per 10 lbs, given orally.<br />
Do not give this to pregnant does during the first 45 days of gestation. To play it safe, do not give to pregnant does at all.<br />
<br />
Safeguard, Panacur, Benzelmin - <i>Fenbendazole</i><br />
Treatment & control of: Lungworms, gastrointestinal roundworms, stomach worms, tapeworms, intestinal worms, bankrup worms & nodular worms, liver flukes (adult).<br />
Dosage:<br />
Using the dosage on the bottle of the horse/cattle kind, give the goat 4x the dose - according to your goats weight. For example, if your goat weighed 100 lbs, give her the amount of wormer for a 400 lb horse.<br />
There is now a goat version. Use the goat dose on the label.<br />
Safe for use in pregnant does.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Tramisole, Levasol, Prohibit - <i>Levamisole</i><br />
Treatment & control of: Lungworms, roundworms & gastrointestinal parasites.<br />
Dosage:<br />
Tramisole injectable 13.5% is given subQ at the rate of 1 cc per 50 lbs.<br />
Oral sheep tablets are given at the rate of 1 tablet per 50 lbs.<br />
Prohibit powder - follow the directions on the package for mixing it with water. Once mixed, dose it orally at the rate of 1 cc per 20 lbs.<br />
Safe for pregnant animals.<br />
Do not overdose this wormer. There have been reports of toxicity if overdosed.<br />
Personal note: I highly recommend the injectable version of this wormer. It works wonders. I am not sure that it is on the market though due to some regulations.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Cydectin Pour-On - <i>Moxidectin</i><br />
Treatment & control of: Lungworms, gastrointestinal roundworms, larvae, lice, mange mites.<br />
Dosage: given orally at the rate of 1 cc per 20-25 lbs. Do not pour-on goats.<br />
Not sure if this is safe for use in pregnant does, so just avoid during pregnancy.<br />
Personal note: Another favorite wormer in the south. One of the only wormers left that actually works.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Some of the information on this page was gotten from years of goat rearing, and <a href="http://fiascofarm.com/goats/wormers.htm#Synanthic">Fias Co Farm's page</a> on various goat wormers. Her page is somewhat outdated, which is why I retyped it here with new information.</span><br />

Sunday morning someone came in proclaiming that there was a guinea hen with a bunch of keets (guinea babies are called keets, not chicks. Weird bird terminology) following her. Guineas are horrible mothers most of the time - they run their babies to death it seems. We've never had one be a successful mother that I can remember. They are very protective but tend to loose their keets. So, we took 17 of the keets away and are hand raising them. We left 2 with the hen since she was panicking wondering where all her babies went (poor thing!).</div>

This is "the horse" - yes, I think that is as official as his name gets. Or maybe it's "the mustang". Either way, it works. He's a very sweet boy and loves the water hose. My brother got him a few months ago from a sale and he was very thin. You'd never know it now... I think he may just be the fattest animal on the ranch.</div>

And last but not lease, this is not-so-little "Party". She's a big girl today and was put out in the big pasture with all the other big does... and her mama, of course. If anyone is interested in her, she is available.</div>

Meet Cotton... or "Cotton-ball", or "Puppy" or "Puppyness"... whatever we like to call her at any random time. She's our new Great Pyrenees puppy and she's becoming friends with the boys. Watch out cougars and coyotes, this girl is gonna protect her goaties (hopefully, anyway)!</div>

Wyatt was our first MiniNubian buck. We got him as a yearling when we lived in California from our friend Paula from PawPawNin Caprines. He was a 2nd generation buck and polled. We moved him with us to Oklahoma 5 years ago. He has been a very sweet & gentle boy, and has thrown many beautiful kids for us. He passed away last night at 7 1/2 years old. He had been through a lot and old age finally caught up to him. He'll certainly be missed!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a beautiful Purebred Toggenburg doe for sale. She is a very healthy doe and is milking about a gallon a day and is only 2 years old. She is a very big girl as well. The only reason she is for sale is she really does not fit in with our breeding program as she is our only Toggenburg. If we still have her come breeding season, I'll happily breed her for some Togg/Nubian kids (those would be so cute!!). She is also naturally polled, just another plus on this beautiful doe.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, her registered name is Loch-Arbor Ivory's Izetta. You can see her pedigree <a href="http://www.adgagenetics.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=T001545891">here</a>. She comes from fabulous Toggenburg lines such as Neshaminy Acres - one of their does took ADGA National Champion in 2006.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So yep, this girl is nice. $350 obo.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're interested in her <a href="mailto:sf@goodgoats.net">email</a> or call me 918-598-4007.</div>

For a long time we've wanted to make hard cheese such as cheddar, colby, etc. Last year we finally bought the extra supplies needed for hard cheeses - a press, wax, and a few various items. This year I finally had the courage to jump in and try it. After years of making ricotta, feta, mozzarella, cream cheese and butter, it can't be THAT much harder, right?<br />
<br />
I found a recipe for Farmhouse Cheddar. It was so very simple. Cheese recipes don't vary that much - they require a culture and rennet. There is more hurry up and wait with cheese making than there actually is stuff to do.<br />
<br />
I made the Farmhouse Cheddar Wednesday afternoon. The final step with the cheese press was the cheese had to be pressed for 12 hours. So Thursday morning I took it out of the press - a pretty 2 lb wheel of cheese. It is now drying on bamboo mats, which takes 2-4 days. Once it has a rind on it, it will be time to wax it and then wait for it to age. Thankfully, Farmhouse Cheddar only takes about 4 weeks :).<br />

And this is definitely NOT cheddar. This is Mild Feta. . . the cheese made most often around here, along with cream cheese. If this cheddar turns out, I think it may take the place of the feta.</div>

Neither udders got a perfect shaving job, but at least most of the hair is gone. This first one is Paprika, one of our American Alpine does. Isn't it a beauty? She is from the Te-Iltcohe herd. She produces a lot of milk for a looong time. One of my favorite Alpines here on the ranch.</div>

The babies are all getting so big. This black little girl is the first kid that was born this year in January, one of quads. She is a short, fat little thing. I need to get a picture of her face as it is just darling. Her name, at least for the moment, is "Wild Thing", although she is very calm. Not sure how that happened...</div>

The white girl with the chocolate head on the left is a Nubian/Alpine cross doeling. Nope, she doesn't have an ounce of Boer in her, although she looks like she could. She is my little brother's goat... he claims her has his goat anyway. Her name is "Lulu."</div>

And last but not least, meet "Party." She loves her Mama, as you can see in the photo below... or at least she likes to sleep on her. She's a soft, squishy bed after all - much cozier than the hard ground. Party's twin brother didn't make it past the first week of life unfortunately. I think there was something wrong with him since birth. Party is a hilarious, cute little goat and is growing so incredibly fast. </div>

We are a few hours from where the tornados hit hard. Our hearts are with the people of Moore and the many other towns that were ravaged by the deadly tornados the past few days.<br />
<br />
I am very thankful to have an intact house and barns, and that my family and close friends are all safe. I have never seen a tornado in person...yet. Living in Oklahoma puts my chances of seeing one up, ha!<br />
<br />
No pictures from me today - maybe tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a fabulous day!<br />

111 days and 78 kids later, and kidding season is over with for the Winter/Spring of 2013. It's been a great year! A bit busy at times, calm at other times, but all those bouncing healthy kids are sure to put a smile on anyones face. It is especially nice to see all that hard work paying off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The numbers for this year's kidding season are as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
35 does kidded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
78 kids</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
40 bucklings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
38 doelings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 singles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
19 sets of twins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9 sets of triplets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 sets of quads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And out of all that, we lost 6 kids total. Not too bad actually considering everyone else was so healthy and spunky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday night the last two does kidded. We came home and found Paprika (Alpine, below) with a single buckling out. I knew she had more kids in there, but decided to try and get milking done real fast. By then she still hadn't had anymore kids, so I decided to go in and see what was taking her so long. There was a little doeling trying to come out breach - bad girl! Pulled her out and two more bucklings quickly followed, making her kid total to 3 bucks and a doeling. I was quite impressed, despite the fact that 3 were boys (but oh well). </div>

This big Boer doe was in labor at the same time as Paprika. I had a gut feeling that something was just not right as her labor was not progressing like it should have. Before I pulled Paprika's kids, I felt up in the Boer doe just to see what was going on and felt something that certainly was NOT right. I told her she can wait and finished getting Paprika's kids out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
By then, it was nearly midnight and I was feeling a bit light headed. I talked my Mom into pulling the Boer kid's out, I'd just hold the doe :). So as my wonderful mother usually does, she listened to me, pulled her sleeves up and went to see what was going on. What she found was rather disgusting - a big handful of skin and bones - basically a kid who had stopped growing months ago and was mummified. Once we got that out of the way, a big healthy doeling came out. A few minutes later, a very large buckling came out, who was kind of stuck because it was only his head. I fished up in there, found a front leg and pulled him out. What happened next was not what I was expecting. I mean, we've kidded hundreds of goats, I've pulled many many kids out, and most of the time things go pretty smoothly, even if the kid has to be pulled.</div>

Well, the doe started bleeding, and bleeding a lot. She was hemorhaging. Not sure why. Thankfully she is a very large doe so could handle loosing a little blood. But it was pouring out. Everyone goes into "panic mode" and tries to find the Shepherd's Purse to stop the bleeding. I tried counter-pressure incase she tore, but it didn't seem to work. Every time I'd move my hand more blood would gush out. We finally found some of the Shepherd's purse tincture and gave it to her. She didn't seem bothered at all that she had just lost a few cups of blood, and was happily licking her newborns. She got up after a few minutes and the bleeding seemed to stop.</div>

It's now been a few days and she hasn't skipped a beat. Thankful for a happy outcome on that freaky accident!</div>

Well, nothing like kidding season going out with a bang! We still have a few bucklings left for sale if anyone is interested. They are nice boys, but it's the end of the year and they need to find a new home. Email me if you're interested - the price will be good.</div>

Last Friday Ellen Dorsey put a post up about a few Nubian/Alpine cross doe kids she had for sale. They caught my eye, and soon I was in the car headed to <a href="http://www.dillsalittlegoatfarm.com/">Dill's-A-Little Goat Ranch</a>. It was nice to finally meet Ellen in person and see her nice place and all her gorgeous goats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These two girls are sisters. I have a thing about dairy experimental crosses - they're almost always my favorites, hands down. They milk outstanding typically. And there's just something about those funny little ears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We named them Patience (white one) and Faith (tan one). Their dam is Dill's Aurek's Pink, a beautiful Alpine doe that can be seen on <a href="http://www.dillsalittlegoatfarm.com/alpineseniordoes.htm">this page</a> at the very bottom. Their sire is <a href="http://www.dillsalittlegoatfarm.com/nubianbucks.htm">Dorsey-Lane BE Ramblin Man</a>. </div>

It's been busy here. The weather was hot. Then cold. Then really wet. Then warm. Now cold and wet again. I think I may get sick from all this weather change! Thankfully most of the animals have been doing just fine through it.</div>

A huge storm came through late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. Tons of rain, hail, wind and a few tornadoes - thankfully none too close to us. Within just a couple of hours, the roads were washed out, the creeks were overflowing, the dump cart was FULL of water, the damn at the back of the property was washed out (which has stood there for a few years), the fence was down in the back. Thankfully there was not much lasting damage. We were out of power for a day and out of internet for a few days. Everything is back to functioning normally now.</div>

A few days ago I made my annual trip to Goat Town USA - a small Nubian herd in town - to trim her goat's hooves and give her buck a haircut. Her goats are just so nice. The doe in the photo below is Goat Town USA Hazel, the dam to our yearling Nubian buck Goat Town USA Powerhouse, who is out of Pruittville's Challenger. This photo certainly does not do miss Hazel justice. She's a big girl and she's a beauty.</div>
