So, here's what's going on with my goats:
Genevieve is doing very well. I was worried about her when she was born because she was quite thin, but she's beginning to fatten up . Sometime soon, I will be visiting the farm to pick out another female.
Here's the info that I've gathered on basic goat care (please correct me if I'm wrong):
-don't use feed or minerals that say "for sheep & goats" (sheep can't tolerate the amount of copper that goats need)
-treats: they can have grapes, raisins, bread, crackers, animal crackers, & corn chips (all in moderation, of course )
-they need a CDT shot once a year
-they need to be dewormed 4 times a year, & you have to rotate the dewormers you use
-they need their hooves trimmed at least twice a year (or as often as needed)
-feeding:
-in the spring/summer, they eat grass, & you have to rotate pastures to let the grass grow & to cut down on worms
-in the fall/winter, they get a handful of food every day & a flake of hay in their pasture
