Yep, that's definitely your opinion and not the veterinary standard, any breed standard, or what literally millions of farmers worldwide actually do. I've known actual 20 years old that had more birthing complications than healthy late 40s and 50 years olds. So the argument doesn't hold water.

No, I can't give a dosage for panacur. Paste wormers are not safe for any animal under 100 lbs. For wry neck, you need to be treating with liquid Safeguard for goats. Follow dosage info on the bottle. Its the most effective for wry neck. You need to treat every 3rd day for 2 weeks. Often it doesn't reverse, only halt the damage. Depends on how far along they are. The condition isn't uncommon. I get contacted for help pretty regularly.

Working on it. Give me a week or two to get it filmed, edited and uploaded.

@@SpragueRiverHomestead thanks. I really appreciate it. No rush for my part.

Unlikely. Most does will not rebreed while nursing young. And there's no good reason to. Kits do not have fully formed digestive systems until 10ish weeks of age. They NEED to stay with mom under at least 8 weeks of age to take advantage of her cecotropes. Weaning early is the top cause of weaning enteritis and bloat (which cause kit death in the vast majority of cases).

I bought mine from Bass Equipment.

I don't suggest comfrey be used more than once or twice a week. While it is good for nursing mothers, it also is very hard on the digestive system and causes liver damage over time. I've seen a few studies showing that herds fed as little as 20-30% of their diet in comfrey showed liver damage in under 12 weeks. If you hit google you can find a few of them. I've never seen anything supporting the notion of comfrey as a dewormer. There are quite a few plants that can do the job that are easier on the stomach.

@SpragueRiverHomestead interested... one guy told me I could feed with Comfrey. It's good for deworme and high in protein, and believe me, I'm still scared to give it to my rabbits because of what I've seen on Goggle. Thanks for your response

That's awesome! Always good to hear youth working with rare breeds!

You probably could, provided they don't have a plastic or wax layer. I used to buy a brand that had paper sacks which I used to line garden beds, but they went to the woven plastic years ago.

It can. Just keep in mind that it'll make the hair really greasy. I personally wouldnt though. Putting it in the ears is cleaner and in my experience more effective. Hair tends to absorb some of the medicine and changes the available dose. Going in the ears still reaches the bloodstream, which is the goal when dealing with lice.

Its can, but has a higher percentage of failure. Remember, does are induced ovulators. If uninterested for whatever reason, most will not ovulate. Forced mating is usually traumatic for the doe and usually doesn't yield results, so I don't recommend it.

Our generator is 6kW. Our solar panels are also 6kW. We have a large AGM battery bank and only run the generator annually 80-100 hours. Most of the year is sunny enough to just use solar since we have always been off-grid at our current property.

@@SpragueRiverHomestead From your video I got the impression you were basically relying on you diesel generator for your power needs with no mention of other supplemental power sources, this is why I wrote what I did…

Safeguard. Liquid Fenbendezole

Thanks

Well, so far you've undosed him to the point it's ineffective, especially since you diluted it. A 10# buck should be treated at .01 per pound, so .1cc/ml. NEVER dilute medication. Putting water (unless distilled) in the ear canal is asking for infection. Since you've pretty much given him nothing so far, administer the correct dosage split between the 2 ears. You don't need to give it topically on his nape. Once it's in the blood stream it'll take care of the fur mites. If you really feel the need to, put a drop or two of his dose on the nape and the rest into his ears.

@@SpragueRiverHomestead thank you, that was advice from a 10 year vet tech, that raises rabbits, obviously not as knowledgeable as she claims. I questioned the water in the ear, I should have listened to my gut. I’m going to weigh him again, to be positive. So this dosage on Saturday should be considered the first one , since the first treatment was nil, yes?Many thanks. We are in Prospect, Or. I appreciate the rabbit info you share.

@@WheelerRanch unfortunately most of the vets and vet techs I've met have zilch for actual rabbit knowledge. 😔 Yes, I would not count what you've given so far as a dose since you didn't really give anything. I would just start your treatment protocol over. Thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, no. Fuel is not that cheap in Oregon. Gas is $4.20 with diesel around the same. Propane is running $3-$5 depending on volume. Our generator is also not set up for a pull start. And not designed in any way that would allow for that.

Did you wake up and decide to be an asshole, or is that just your default setting? You do realize that the instructions and the company's operational video all show that it is to be used in the horizontal position? I'll give you some advice, since you're so free with yours. Being a dick to complete strangers is exactly what is wrong with the world today. You might consider getting some mental help for your disrespectful, hateful, holier than thou attitude. Its pretty gross.

Usually it clears up in a couple of days. If it doesn't, I would seek veterinary care, as that indicates its more than just a case of diarrhea.

You'll want to get a dosage recommendation straight from a vet, based on what you are treating for. Cats are sensitive to ivermectin overdose, and can come down with toxicosis, which can cause permanent blindness, coma or even death.

We started the channel after the barn was built, so don't have any videos of it. We used 10 48inch tall by 16' long goat panels. The base frame was 20'4" by 20'. There was a 2x6 center beam down the middle, supported by 3 4x4 posts about 9'6" tall. We tied the panels together in pairs, and to end overlapped a couple of squares, then sliding one end up and over the center beam until it came over and down into the bottom frame. Repeat with the other 4 pairs, making sure they're tight together side by side. Tie them together when all pairs are in place. We then stapled them to the center beam and along the bottom frame with fence staples. You'll need additional bracing depending on how you build your doors and end, snow loads, roof material, etc.

Coolers don't breathe. Humidity and stale air is a killer for rabbits.

What temperature and humidity are they at? Too cool and they won't eat and won't do much breeding.

Correct. Injectible can be used topically without issue. Never inject a rabbit with anything unless you have no other choice (such as when using antibiotics). Rabbits are prone to encapsulating foreign materials and turning them into abscesses.

Email is the easiest way to connect.

Sounds like the beginnings of ear mites. Yes, you can treat with a few drops of oil in the ear every other day for a week. Should straighten it right out.

We don't trade for meat, but have purchased some pork and the occasional steaks. For the most part, we eat rabbit, chicken, turkey and quail, which we raise ourselves. There's also the occasional duck or goose, which we also raise, and this year we'll process our first goats.

@@SpragueRiverHomestead That sounds like a nice variety. I imagine fishing and hunting trips could also help supplement. And duck and goose are so rich and delicious that they would make an excellent treat.

White stuff is usually indicative of Pasturella. Rattle or raspy noises can turn serious quickly. I would advise a trip to the vet to have the discharge tested.

@SpragueRiverHomestead thanks sorry there's no vet around where I'm living I just ordered the vet rx 🤷🏾‍♂️ he's still normal just that rattle and now seeing that stuff tonight makes me worried

Meat and bone.

For some I never got a notification for this comment. 😕 That's a super common question, and the most widely debated. Officially, the USDA says it's carcass weight, meaning that does include bone. They do list skeletal structure at only 4-6oz, so you'd be around 3.25# of actual meat. Keep in mind it'll vary a bit by breed, line, feed, housing density, etc.

@@SpragueRiverHomestead Thank you so much for your reply!

Maybe nothing. Is she acting bred at all? She would be refusing and usually vocalizing. I have twice had Mini Rex bucks that never fell off. I was sure they weren't breeding until the does started looking very pregnant and nesting with their hay. If she isn't acting bred, then she's probably not lifting. Expose her vent and check the color. If she is pale or light pink she isn't receptive right now. Its time for molt in many areas, and quite a few does won't breed during molt as their hormone levels change.

Yeah, not just Oregon. Its happening everywhere. We're trying to do more shorts with the plan of one longer video each week. People's attention spans are pretty short these days.

At 3 weeks old I would suspect coccidiosis. You can feed the same way, but you also need to be giving CORID or sulfamet.

That is so easy to do. Glad the video helped!

I've never heard that. I actually bought a full tank breeding colony from a gal on Craigslist of all places and haven't had to bring in any outside stock. She told me her initial bugs came from Petsmart.

Only when breeding jumbo/giant mealworms. A veterinarian or an exterminator introduces the colony a hormone. Regular mealworms are clean...
