Goats goats goats

Yes my world revolves around goats, chickens, kids and husband. Not in that particular order. But we put goats on our property so that we could have milk and possibly some meat for our family. We bought 6 goats to start out with knowing two of them would be butcher. Well the "city", I use the term lightly because the general population of our town in the 2009 census was 98. Anyway the city has an ordinance states that you may have 2 horse or bovine family per acre. So fortunatelly goats are a subfamily of the bovine family and they don't post specifics. So we will sell two more goats. Therefore making our total animal count 3 goats (2 does and a billy), one horse and 23 chickens. We shall see if they go for it.

We lost two baby goats to white muscle disease. Wasn't much we could do for them. From the time we got them, I thought one was a bit runty looking and didn't look to grow. Anyway, we tried to boost their immunity, wormed them, and just overall tried to help them out but it wasn't working. The final billy is in with the chickens and getting babied throughly. I have been giving him extra electrolights and grain ration. I don't want him to get fat but also he needs what he is getting. He is not a brother of the other two so we should be fine. I have not see any type of illness from him but we didn't see it with the other two right away. Again they are not related, so hopefully nothing going to happen, just worried.
