We have 150 goats and the answer is yes you can give this to adult goats. We have saved some really sick goats who were losing weight and refusing to eat. We syringe fed this milk replacer into their mouths 4 times per day about 13 ozs per feeding and syringed separately some Red Cell liquid once per day, and electrolytes between milk feedings if they are not drinking water. Just syringe slowly into the side of their mouths so they don't get choked. Think of it as you would Ensure for humans who need extra nutrition. Usually our goats are back to eating again within a week's time. The only problem we have had is that once they start getting the milk they don't want to go back off of it.

We learned about goat, cheese, chocolate soap and other things from the goats milk. The people who works there know perfect about all the things about goats and cheese process. We tasted 6 different cheeses and we bought some to take out for later.

The simple answer is, It depends. However, you can find a goat for as little as $20 or as much as $1,000 or more. The most expensive goat to have ever been sold is known as Marrakesh in Australia. It fetched an astounding $21,000, and the buyer described it as a very stylish buck.

As mentioned, purebred goats will cost you a bit more. As such, if you are looking to buy a registered Nubian goat, you should expect to pay around $250 for a kid about a week old. Breeding-age does, and male goats go for around $500 to $1,000.

Not only do the bucks grow large and produce a great deal of goat meat, but they also tend to fetch a good market price as soon as they hit the desired weight. Female meat goats also tend to have year-round heat cycles, meaning they can multiply quickly.

Of course, other goat breeds are not exactly meat goats, pet goats, or milking goats but double up as all of the above rolled into one. These breeds include the Alpine goat, which is often bred because they are hardy, produce a reasonable amount of meat and milk, and can reproduce well.

Registered purebred goats come from a single breed instead of two separate breeds. They are often a bit more expensive than unregistered goats. Ironically, mixed-breed goats tend to be hardier than most purebred goats, which makes them easier to care for and raise.

Typically, female goats (does or nanny goats) tend to cost more than male goats (bucks, billy goats) because they can produce more goats. For this reason, there tend to be fewer female goats for sale because most farmers like to keep the best does on their farms. That scarcity creates an increased demand and, with that, an increase in price.

As a farmer looking to raise goats, these are some factors you must consider when buying your goats. How much does a goat cost As you can see, it all depends on the breed, the size, the sex, age, and where you buy it from (professional breeder or farmer). Either way, you can expect to pay anything from $20 to well over $1,000 for your goats. You might even get one for free if you go to a shelter.

Good 4 u i love animals and wish i could own some farm animals we do have pets a bearded dragon,turtle,kitten,and goldfish is all were allowed to have here in the city but goats ate great but smell awful#!#

My neighbors have two goats in a pen not 50 feet from my house. They are the most annoying animals ever. I absolutely despise the sounds they make. And cant even walk outside without them Baaaaaing. That should be #1 on your list of why NOT to own goats.

Hoof trimming is easy, we place our goat against a wall and his or her head against my chest (I sit on a bucket) and I pet the goat as I talk to it, my husband does the trimming. Our goats have learned to trust us, there is no battle. Goats clean your property of weeds and poison ivy which is fantastic. Less underbrush means reduced fire spread. Have your vet come once a year, observe your goats for changes in behavior. Keep their stalls clean and you will love your goats. They are affectionate and appreciative of your care and they show that in their behavior

I have 3 Nigerian dwarfs two of them that we rescued mama and her baby. They are definitely not annoying. I let them out we have about an acre and they have not ran anywhere they stay close to their home, they are very smart and very loving. We lost my husband only son he was 17. These goats have definitely helped are family and we dare anyone to mess with them. Okay they are spoiled but still very very good pets better then dogs

We still laugh about the goats we had when our kids were growing up. What a nuisance, but how funny they were. Our teen daughter had a little red sports car that was a magnet for the goats. We had to turn in an insurance claim for the roof of her car where their hooves destroyed the paint job. Our agent said that was the first time she had ever made such a claim.

But the best one was when the lady who had been my 2nd grade teacher called me to say that our goats had followed them into the church building 2 blocks away. Fortunately it was only a weeknight meeting and not Sunday service. Or a wedding!

So true on the escaping!! I have boer goats and nigerian dwarf goats and they are both true escape artists, i had a 18 week old boer buck get out of his pen and was following my cat down the drive way!!. I have a little kids play set in with my dwarf goats and they love it. I am going on my second year with goats and hope to have many many more.

Dear Tthank you so much for all the tips, i am very new to this and still getting started, i call my goat mentor all the time in a panic trying to figure out what is wrong with one of my goats :). What does the pumpkin seeds do.do you do anything to treat your pastures for parasites. I have lost a total of three goat sence i started about two yeas ago and it has been heart breaking every time one was a bottle baby, one was one of my does she had kidding troube 6 days before she was dew (i lost her and the kids ) and the othe was from parasites :'(. I also have rabbits and a dog and am getting some chickens in the spring. Where do you buy the wormer you use on your goats Thank you agian for all the info.

I have a Nigerian doe. Before she came to me, she lived by herself on a farm that was not really interested in goats. She was almost 2 and had never been bred, groomed or trimmed. Because she was raised alone, she has made a lovely backyard goat. I built her a pen that is 10X 20. She seems pretty content. I take her for walks on a leash. I take her to the park and let her eat the leaves under the trees while I sit and read. I had her bred and she raised her babies in my little backyard. When I found homes for them, she did cry for a few days. But she is quiet again now. She gives me a quart of wonderful milk per day. She behaves more like a dog then I thought a goat would behave. I understand that this is not normal for a goat to be this quiet, but it has worked out very well for me.

We had a mix of rescue goats at our old house, 1 pygmy, 1nigerian, 1 alpine and 1 mutt. While we loved them, we over-socialized them! They would never stay in the pastures and would jump in our cars if we left the door open, jump on visitors, knock over the garbage cans and get into them. The two young ones (the two biggest) would lay on our porch waiting for us to come outside! They would also go over to our neighbors backyard and beg them. And FYI, we had sturdy field fencing on all 9 acres for these goats to roam! They would make holes in the fence and weasel their way through or would open the gates in the barn. I will never forget being sick with the flu and my three year old letting the goats into the house! They just walked right in! When we sold that house, the buyer asked if the goats could stay and we were only to happy to let them. My husband has forbidden goats on our new home!

i think this is all wrong. goats are sweet and loving. even though you have to do all of that stuff its a better choise to get a goat then put the idea to the side. but this is very well written, but it is still all wrong. now you are even hurting a goats feelings. ( you know they have feelings right). i think you should get a goat and keep it.

I adore my goats, but you left out reason #6, that people like me would not listen to anyway. Raising and breeding goats is farming and the HARD DECISIONS that need to be made are not for the tender hearted. I had to stop breeding because I could not make the hard decisions until forced. Hard decision: Time to sell the babies, but I cannot bear to part with them. I will worry about them forever. Decision forced when I reached 41 goats.Hard Decision: Time to dehorn 8 day old precious ones. The vet did mine with analgesics but it was clear they still suffered. I refused to do it one time and discovered WHY milk goats generally should be dehorned. Hard Decision: Raising milk goats is at least a 50% of your time commitment. Had to stop to rescue primary mode of financial income. Hard Decision: Castrating males. You have not lived until you castrate nine adult males in one day and then watch them suffer (despite copious amounts of Banamine, a strong analgesic) for a solid two weeks until they recover. Hard Decision: I am not a farmer, I am an animal lover, do not breed goats any longer. Find other peoples kids to cuddle with. 59ce067264
