Angie, its great to hear from you. My husband is working on the web-show part for IDGR. Working on finding something that will work for all of us, Emily and ...
... That sounds really neat! ... I have read things that say Nubians are supposed to have a dip behind the shoulder while with the swiss breeds we are looking...
... Yes, it is interesting, but in my opinion it is also not true. I think it is something they made up because they thought that it looked better and it...
... Honestly, my own goats have never had difficulty kidding. I don't know that I have any that would be particularly faulted for that though... Angie ...

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the idgrandfriends group. File : /IDGR...

The IDGR Mini Nubian breed standard has a maximum of 27" for does and 28" for bucks (minimum 20" and 22" respectively). We we started work on the breed...
... I think you are right. I'm glad IDGR is sticking with 27", and I hope folks will try to keep them a little smaller if they can. ... Now are you talking...

Great idea Emily. I'm not too up on worms. Angie, I was wondering if your Nigerians and minis are in the same pen? If not, maybe there is something in the...
