  1. Goats
    Hello. So I haven't seen milk prices discussed on here for quiet some time. I am located in North West Arkansas and I've recently started with raising Alpine goats. I've been asked if I would sale milk, and I'm not sure what goats milk is going for in this part of the country right now. What...

    My 3 year old Jersey cow had her calf 5 days ago. I have been leaving mama and baby together the whole time and bringing mom in first thing in the morning to milk.

  4. Cattle
    I am worried our family Jersey has worms. She is not putting on a lot of weight despite constant access to coastal hay, fresh green grass, and a special dairy ration x2 daily. I was going to get a dewormer (ivermectin) but with her being fresh I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea or if there...

    For those of you who have a family milk cow, how do you store all of that extra milk? Where did you get the containers to store it?

  9. Goats
    Hi I am new to this forum and new to bottle babies! Need some advice! I brought home two baby la mancha does last week. I started feeding just as breeder/farmer had instructed. He told me to buy the "Milk products Grade A Ultra 24 livestock replacer" to feed 8oz 2x a day! I actually was...
  10. Goats
    Hey, so my FF two-year-old freshened 4 days ago with a big buckling. She's doing alright on the milk stand, but she's lifting her legs a lot. I think that her udder is sore (it's pink and I noticed that under her legs her udder was reddish) and that's why she doesn't like me touching her udder...
