25.01.2022 We never have to scratch Abby's back!

25.01.2022 House Goats are not a good idea! Here are some reasons why.

24.01.2022 TREATING WORMS IN GOATS We so often read posts and hear people talk about how they treat their goats on regular basis for worms. Sometimes monthly or bi-monthly. Regular worming of goats is not necessary nor advisable due to the risk of Drench Resistance. Zoetis Australia "Drench Resistance is caused by internal parasites developing inherited tolerance to commonly-used drenches. It results in animals with worms that don’t respond to drenching. Today, drench resistance is ...very common. Theoretically, drench resistance occurs once a population of a species of worm can survive a dose of a drench that would have previously killed it. Initially, resistant worms are rare in a population of worms (perhaps as few as 1 in a trillion). When a sheep is treated the resistant worms survive and if they find a mate, can reproduce. The resultant offspring are resistant and if they survive as larvae on the pasture and infect another sheep they will make up a greater proportion of the worm population than their parents did. Over time, and with continued treatment, the overall resistance level to the treatment within the worm population increases." This easy to read and concise information by Zoetis speaks of sheep but is equally relevant to goats. https://www.zoetis.com.au//effectiv/drench-resistance.aspx It's important to note that when reading information on worming you will see repeatedly these points: Avoid unnecessary drenching Conduct a worm egg count before drenching to establish the worm burden and to see if you actually need to drench Do another worm count 10 to 14 days after drenching to see if it worked Use non-chemical methods to decrease the risk of worms #buckanddoefarm, #goatsarethebest, #minigoats, #nigeriandwarfgoats, #miniaturegoats, #ilovegoats, #dwarfgoats #dairygoats, #miniaturegoatsaustralia, #aussieminigoats

21.01.2022 New Toys are always in demand!

21.01.2022 Boy they grow up fast! Addonis (Addy) and Art (Artimus)

17.01.2022 If I stand on my tippy toes....

16.01.2022 Some of the girls checking out their new feeder. I don't know about them but we are loving it. Cheaper feed by half, minimal time putting feed out and the very best part, way less wastage. Can't get better than that.

15.01.2022 Another stick back scratcher in the making! She hasn't quite got the hang of it yet, but she''ll get there :) The right type of stick would help!

12.01.2022 Another stick back scratcher in the making. She'll get the hang of it :)

12.01.2022 It always tastes better when you're in the bucket!

11.01.2022 Wow, lots of good information in this video on Resuscitation and Management of the Newborn Lamb/Kid/Calf. Brings into question some of the practices that many of us will consider normal and some great advice on other aspects of resuscitation. Worth watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJwe5N4jdLQ

10.01.2022 After having our girls for between 4 to 6 months now I finally have got organised to post some pictures of them to introduce you. I will post them over the coming days, plus others I have had on my phone! First to come were Dapples and Audrey (Breakfast at Tiffanys). Audrey is an old girl but with such good lineage, we are hoping to get one or two babies from her before she is retired. Audrey is an A grade Australian Minature. Her Mum was Australian Champion Yattarna Tiffany and she has a strong Pataona Park lineage. Dapples is also an A grade Australian Minature with Harrison Park, Brythy Park, Kawinkidink lineage. Dapples is a great milker!

10.01.2022 An unexpected addition to the herd arrived early the day after Mum joined us. BDC Anthea (Thea) 50% ND from First Fleet Tom had a very difficult birth and is tiny but showed incredible strength and determination and is now bouncing around happily.

06.01.2022 This is Rosie and Winnie. They came to us as just weaned 4-month-olds and are now 8 months old. Rosie has sought after Brythy Park/Coldridge Park bloodlines which we are keen to continue to build on. Winnie is a 50% Nigerian Dwarf.

03.01.2022 Amity looking pleased with herself that she managed to fit in her favourite tyre. Amity is due to kid over Easter and judging by her size I think there are at least twins! It's tiring carrying those babies around :)

03.01.2022 Amity delivered these delightful twins on Saturday nearly a week early. Two little boys.

02.01.2022 We are pleased to say that the 2021 testing for JD/CAE has been completed, results are in. Whole heard NEGATIVE for both JD and CAE.

01.01.2022 We are excited to introduce Stoney Creek Hugo our new 100% Nigerian Dwarf buck. Hugo is from First Fleet Baudin and First Fleet Hannah. Our thanks & appreciation to Rodney and Summer for letting us add this delightful little guy to our breeding program. Photograph by Stoney Creek
