I have two first gen Kinder does that are in milk for sale. I am currently milking four does and have two more with their kids still on them. I have carpal...
Those buyers are NOT automatic, are they!!! Epecially right now! So if you're not selling as many animals as you want, learn more about marketing!!! ...
Hi all, my husband and I have had Kinders for almost 3 years now, although the doe we got was already well experienced as a milking goat. Our newest goat had...

Well, unfortunately, if he stopped milking when she acted up, that was training her to act up when she wanted him to stop. And in my limited experience, does...
I wanted to add just a small note of caution to what Pat said (which is also the way I taught reluctant milkers to behave on the milk stand). This caution is...
Thanks so much for very helpful comments on this process. We had quite a rock n'rollin event the other night and things calmed down when instead of holding...
I separate mine at night after 1 week and then give the kids a bottle before they go back in with mom so they are not so hungry and won't be so hard on her...
Thanks again Pat! I thought I'd pester you with questions here where more people can benefit from your experience than just me. And now I've got it in writing...
My goats seem to have pms. :) They are good for awhile, milking is going great and them one acts up, impatient, kicking, won't even get on the stand. I think...
A couple of thoughts on milkstand behavior. Several years ago, Pat suggested spraying a doe in the face with water from a spray bottle if she was acting up on...
Yes! You can, and it's much more likely with the How-To-Do-It book (going on 17 years of helping goat owners get profitable) MAKING MONEY WITH GOATS by...
Hello, I have just started my search for the Kinder goat, and I thought this would be a good place to start. We live in central south florida. We live on 5...
I don't think that there is any 'best' age for tattooing except that it is good to do it before you register them. That way their Certificates can serve as...
I am new enough to all of this that I need an explanation as to why you need to tattoo an animal? Is this similar to branding cattle? How do you tattoo?...

I dont have the space to have goats right now ( i live in an apartment) but i am interested in Goats (one of my favorite foods). I just thought if i could hang...
Hi all, I just got started in goats a couple of weeks ago. Since I have only worked with pigs and chickens in the past, I'm writing for advice. We received...
Hi, Lisa It can take some time and a lot of patience to win over new goats. I suggest that you go to their enclosure and sit down. You may have to sit there...

Hi Pat, Thank you for your answers. I am sorry but I still have more questions if you or anyone else has time. I am so new to the concept of registering...
Nice to meet you...I live in Oregon too...Newport area. I am in town as well but we are able to have animals in town so far. I will be picking up my first...
Hi Sherri, I'm not Pat, but I think that I can answer at least some of your questions. I'm assuming that they are using Z as the letter for this year because...
Thanks, Dina and Pat, for your helpful suggestions. Dina, what treats do you recommend? I'm planning to try using apples, but are there others your goats find...
My favorite goat wouldn't come near me before she kidded. She trusts me now, but is still very reserved and I utterly adore her. She is also the easiest goat...
Lisa -- Raisins (one at a time!) make an excellent treat.Also animal crackers (again, sparingly). If you are a "treat machine", your goats will be constantly...
