22.01.2022 Hey everyone I have been receiving a huge amount of queries about purchasing goats lately (which is amazing!) but I just wanted to reiterate a few things that I find myself repeating often: You will need a PIC number to own goats, this is a necessary legal requirement. It’s free and easy to get online at https://pic.agriculture.vic.gov.au... Please consider the amount of space you have on your property & if it’s suitable and/or council approved to have goats on your property. They cannot live in a suburban backyard. Goats shouldn’t be tethered where it can be avoided. They can strangle themselves and are very vulnerable to dog attacks. Goats are only sold in pairs or to owners with another goat. They are herd animals and need a friend of their own species to be happy. On that note, a dog or any other typical pet animal is not a suitable companion for a goat. They cannot interpret each other’s body language and play can become too rough (usually at the goats expense) Bucks are smelly and generally do not make good pets. However wethers (desexed males) are lovely and generally make nice quiet pets, compared to does who can be noisy when on heat (every 21 days). When transporting goats to a new location you must complete a Waybill or NVD that tracks the movements of the goats to trace any disease outbreaks. You need proper fencing. Never leave anything climbable next to fences as they will use it to explore. Goats need a proper shelter, they hate getting wet and need a shed or structure that is wind and rain proof. Yes you probably can get a goat for $100 off gumtree, but has it been well handled? Disease tested? Registered? Vaccinated? Wormed? Disbudded? These are all things to factor in. Goats need ongoing maintenance including regular hoof trimming, vaccinating and drenching. You may need someone else to help you if you are a small person and don’t have a milking stand. Here are some Facebook pages I recommend joining for more information: Goats Australia Goat Vet Oz Goat Vet Corner Miniature Goat Lovers Australia Sheep and Goat Crazies And here are some goat clubs to join as a social member and to meet/chat with other breeders: https://www.mgba.com.au https://www.australianallbreedsofminiaturegoatsociety.com I’m not an expert but always happy for people to inbox me further questions. Also a big Thankyou to Maddy @ Patchwork Mini Milkers for allowing me to alter her original post

18.01.2022 Flashback to my first 2020 baby! I can’t wait for this years kidding season to start

15.01.2022 AUSTRALIAN MINI BUCK’S FOR SALE After much thought, we have decided to put our gorgeous twin boys up for sale, Silverfern Stud Dave Gallaher & Silverfern Stud Joe Rokocoko. Both boys come from amazing lines and have the best temperament. Easy to handle and a dream to do anything with. This has not been an easy decision at all. ... I am selling due to wanting to improve the quality of my herd and these boys are growing to be taller than I would like. They would be perfect for breeders wanting pet quality, not show quality. Dave Gallaher Sire: Coldridge Park Levi Dam: Bouncing Hooves Link Current Height: 58.5cm D.O.B: 22/10/2018 Joe Rokocoko Sire: Coldridge Park Levi Dam: Bouncing Hooves Link Current Height: 61.5cm D.O.B: 22/10/2018 Both registered with the MGBA. The pair could go together as a package. Please message for more information or send an email to [email protected] Located in West Gippsland, VIC. Transport available. PIC: 3BWJW930

11.01.2022 SURPRISE! I have been working away in the kitchen making some amazing goats milk soap! My partner suffers from severe eczema and goats milk soap is the only thing that works! So instead of continuing to purchase soap off the internet, I thought - why not make some ... After weeks of researching recipes, I finally found a rich blend of organic oils and fats that I wanted to try. This soap has been made with the highest quality ingredients, including; Organic Olive Oil Cocoa Butter Shea Butter Apricot Kernel Oil Coconut Oil Lye Goats Milk (of course ) Pure Essential Oils (Lemongrass) This soap will be available to purchase in 6 weeks time after the soap has fully cured & hardened.

05.01.2022 Zarli is forever searching for food It must be those pregnancy cravings....

05.01.2022 Yesterday, one of our British Alpine does ‘Lola’ reached 2 months being pregnant. The first picture was taken when Lola was 1 month along in her pregnancy & the second picture was taken yesterday when Lola hit 2 months. Look at her gorgeous belly filling out!! Bring on November ... P.S Lola’s head gets stuck in our fence due to her horns which is why she has this head accessory Another reason why we now choose to disbud our babies!
