We are finally on a no snow falling day here in Warren, Oregon. We have about 1 to 2 feet of snow on the ground. Portland and all of the metro area has been...
Tom and I moderated the ND_Dairygoats list for many years before I decided to close it down a couple of years ago. I've decided now is the right time to...
Hi Sarah, Central Ohio has been doing its usual, "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes." Yesterday it fell to zero with wind chill of 20-something...
I didn't see any foreign material in her eye or even an eye lash. I think it started with a poke in the eye though. It has spread to the other eye today. The...
I think one drop at a time is enough, although it usually takes me several to get one full drop *in* the eye. If it has spread to the other eye, you may have...
I have 2 sets of 3/8" tattoo pliers. Are these absolutely too big for Nigerians? I really hate to buy another 2 sets - I must have 2 as I hate changing out...
I've never used the 3/8" size. We started with the 5/16" ones. Those were okay for Obe babies, but difficult to use without hitting a vein on ND kids less than...
Hello Gang. My name is Leea Bennett. I reside in Granville, Ohio and am new to breeding Nigerians. After much research I decided to go with the Nigerian...
Welcome....Leea.....I am sure you will enjoy your Nigerian experience....They can be quite the little characters.... I would like to take a moment and...
Thanks for the warm welcome. Nice to meet you Jones Family. Our Nigerians are more than just "livestock" to us too! My website is almost complete and I will...
Hello Leea and the Jones family, I guess this is a good time to make my official intro! I am Kim Miller from Cambridge, Ohio. I just purchased my first ...
Silly me, I hit "enter" to start a new paragraph and it submitted my post before I finished it. Sorry! Leea, I'm not all that far from Granville so maybe we'll...
Nice to meet you Kim. I would really like to meet and talk goats. I work from home and my two boys are in school so I am pretty flexible. I attached my...
Leea....I would love to view your website...but it freezes shortly after it opens....what am I doing wrong? Thanks Christina The Jones Family from Indiana...
After 11 hours, I'd think a message I sent would show up, but since it hasn't, here it is: Kim has Merce - Buttin'Heads Mercerised Cotton, Harris Tweed's...
Buttin'Heads Harris Tweed. Has he bred any does for you yet? I have his sister, Buttin'Heads Mercerised Cotton (aka Merce). She's a very spoiled girl, I love...
Well, I suppose it`s time I introduce ourselves. We are Bob and Barb Morris and we live in Keyser, WV. We have owned goats for most of our lives, but started...
When I started breeding my nigerians back in 2005 we always hand- bred our does without too much trouble with them settling the first time around. The...
I waited a couple of day to give someone else a chance to answer, but since no one else did, here I spout off again ;-): There can be a lot of reason for does...
Thanks Sue, but I can understand a doe here and there having cystic ovaries, but I`m not talking about one or two goats. More like seven to ten does. They are...
Keep us informed; we can all always learn something new. I know it's very common for does to short-cycle once or twice in the late summer / early fall, then...
My favorite hoof trimmer for NDs is the Fiskars Ultimate Craft Shears. Listed as such, you can often find them for under $12 including shipping on eBay. Oddly,...
I want to say hello and introduce ourselves! We are Proctor Hill Farm located in Lunenburg MA. We have been breeding Nigerian Dwarf Goats for about 2 years...
Sue, are there not some mineral shortages that can lead to low fertility in a buck? I can never remember which ones they might be. I thought I'd ask rather...
Yeah, things can get really overpriced when they are marked for goats and sheep. I misplaced my hoof trimmers and my husband (who doesn't pay attention to how...
