Why don’t you have a Jersey cow yet? I thought I would start with dairy goats because they’re smaller for some reason I assumed they would be easier. Ended up getting a Jersey instead because fences on our property are poor and my cow stays in a single hot strand. They’re So hardy too. I don’t have to worry about worms, predators or calving complications so far. Had her for two years. We might be moving for my husbands job end of this year, and I might have to sell her. I’m already heartbroken.

Listeria grows where oxygen isn't. Think baled hay or silage like chaffehay or alfahay, not fallen hay by the feeder. Symptoms start 7-10 days after exposure. Hopefully it's just goat polio and the thiamine your vet is having you give covers it. For more parasite resistance up the protein in the diet (not just adding grain, but the whole diet) and keep the water and food clear of pellets. Good luck.

I lost 2 goats to Listeria last year. They were in much worse condition than your girl. They passed on the third day. I don't know where they got it from because they were in different pens, fed differently (1 was my buck, the other was a bred doe). After I lost them I totally stripped down the goat barn and sanitized it. This time of year is when you are prone to see it. I am hoping I don't see it this year. They can get it just about any where from what the vet told me.

I don't have a kidding stall. My goats just kid in the pasture. It's a smaller, fenced in pasture (I free range my goats), but they have always done well, except for the one I didn't get penned up and she decided to kid on the other side of the creek on a damp chilly day.🙄😒 (She is the reason my goats are on lock down at kidding time.) My dairy goat likes to kid in the goat barn. Some of them prefer the run in.

I am so disappointed in my first and possible LAST order of a side of beef here in Canada Grass Fed Grain Finished Angus 383 Hanging weight before aging at $6.00 CAD per pound YIELD: 113 lbs roasts, steaks, short ribs 77 lbs Ground Beef (10/90) 2lb 5oz Tenderloin (asked for tenderloin to be cut into 3 pieces) I thought tenderloin should at the very least be 4 pounds!! Not even 3 pounds of tenderloin!!?? 192 lbs Total --- 50% yield in meat I asked for the bones and fat 13 lbs of super clean no meat bones and 11 lbs of tallow. Paid $2300 QUESTION: Should I have expected a bit more yield in the meat? I will be reaching out to the abattoir diplomatically to see if they will get me more bones and fat at the very least.
@GWPHomestead12 күн бұрын
There are a couple factors at play: the animal itself and the processor. Even comparing some angus cattle to others isn’t exact. Diplomatically reaching out and at least inquiring about what you got is a good place to start, but I doubt you’ll be getting more from the processor. Best of luck to you, though.

Herbicides are poisons and stay in the environment for a very long time ! Ypu are poisoning everything just for the sake of your own perspnal preferences. The power companies sprays those poisonous herbocides under their towers here. By law they have to notify the property owners that the towers are sitting on. The power companies DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE LAND THAT THE TOWERS SIT ON ! Yet they come every year and poison the land and all living creatures nearby. By law they have to tell property owners what poisonous herbicides they are spraying. If you ever get tò read the descrìption flyer you will be apalled and frightened by the warnings !
