I hope it's just shedding too! If not - here's some basic info: Common Causes for Itchy Goats with Hair Loss: Mites (Mange): Sarcoptic or Chorioptic mites are the most common cause of intense itching, causing scabs, raw areas, and hair loss on the legs, tail base, or face. Lice: Both biting...

Does he have bald patches? Or just shedding? Some goats have quite an undercoat and will shed off (or get brushed out) in the spring.

Yummy - I'm sure anything you do will be delicious! I have no idea (again) what we'll have. Need to use up some canned stuff...lots of options there.

I did absolutely nothing in the garden today...

Sometimes you just need that kind of day!

Finished up one bed and started on the last one. Got some tractor time digging up dirt. I'll get more tractor time moving compost tomorrow. I'm tired of this and I want it done. :(

Up fairly early this morning. Had a couple cups of coffee before going outside. Goat is milked and other critters are fed, including the fish. Lotsa things to do. One more cuppa and I'll head back outside before it gets much warmer.

I should finish up adding dirt to one of the raised beds today. It's supposed to be hot - heat index possibly in triple digits. Ugh. One more bed to get filled after that. I'm removing the old collards and will need to figure out what to put there. Maybe sweet potatoes - they thrive in...

Wow! Ya'll did good!

Glad you started a thread for him here! I look forward to following his/your journey!

Busy times around here. What else is new. Had plans to do garden work all day yesterday when I got a call from DS. It was car show day! I never miss car show day so I re-arranged my expectations for the day. I headed out a few minutes earlier than planned. DH's car, which has been driven...

Boo - hope it passes quickly!

Sounds good! Unlikely - but sounds good anyway, lol!

G'marny - as my grandson would have said a little over 18 years ago! Coffee is life-saving this morning. Interrupted sleep was the norm last night - all night long. But, gotta get up and at it this morning. Back to adding dirt to the beds today. I'll be so glad when I finally get this job...

I FINALLY got the last raised bed put together. It took a mere 72 nuts/bolts. My back is protesting, my eyes are crossed and my fingers are sore. Maybe I should order a couple more, lol.

Yikes - sorry ya'll had it so rough!

Why not?!! :idunno A few of us here are goataholics, lol.

Sausage and cabbage last night. Picked up a bunch of salad stuff when shopping this morning so maybe a big ol' salad is in order tonight.

Sounds delicious!!

For years previous to my husband's health issues I had a huge garden, raised goats, pigs, quail and chickens and I worked full-time. I have no idea how I did it then, lol. Now we're retired and I can barely keep up with a few raised beds. Still have the goats, quail, pigs and chickens and a...
