Yes, goats will get along with a variety of other animals such as cats, chickens, ducks, geese, miniature horses, miniature donkeys, llamas, sheep, and some dogs, etc. It mostly depends on their personalities and at what age you introduce them to other animals.

Yes. They do very well with horses, donkeys, cattle, sheep, llamas. Dogs can be very dangerous, especially in groups. Chickens, pigeons and other birds can drop feces in water sources, but get along well with goats. We recommend that goats not be allowed to mix with pigs; some pig diseases can be dangerous to goats and pigs may cause severe injury to baby goats.

Donkeys relate well to most other animals. Sometimes the question is "How well do other animals relate to donkeys"? Donkeys do have a natural repugnance toward most canines and felines, but the positive outcome of this is they learn to tolerate those they share a caregiver with. Cows and donkeys will co-habit quite nicely together but you must be careful that the donkeys do not become obese from free range feed.

Goats milk is naturally ultra-moisturizing. Goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids and natural occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. The result is a pH level that is good for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin.

Our goats are fed grass and alfalfa hay along with a grain ration especially designed for dairy goats. Minerals are fed free-choice.

Right now most of our herd consists of Nubians. We do have some Alpines and have crossed them last fall to produce a Nubian/Alpine cross. That way we will get the best of both breeds since both have their advantages.

Boer goats are a domestic breed developed in South Africa for meat. They are much larger and heavier-framed than feral goats with billies weighing up to 120 kilograms. Animals have been imported into Australia to be crossed with goats derived from feral herds to produce a hardy goat that is suitable for the export goat market.

It is untrue that all goats smell. Female goats kept in good condition will smell of nothing other than clean straw and sweet hay. As their droppings are of a dry nature they are far easier to keep clean than cows and other farm animals. Uncastrated male goats do smell. Male goats kept for stud purposes have a very strong distinctive smell, especially during the mating season, (August to March).

If goats are brought up correctly and disciplined from an early age they never develop any bad habits. Goats will butt each other, this is quite natural and normal as they develop an order of dominance in the herd. However if corrected from an early age they never butt humans or other animals. A goat that has been teased may butt people as part of their "play", which may start as kids, when it is no problem. It can be a problem if this behaviour extends to adult age and size.

Are hair-covered animals at any risk? Yes. Skin cancer is found in almost all animals that have been studied in the long-term, for example, cattle, goats, sheep, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, and mice. Direct effects of UV-B radiation on body parts which are covered by thick hair are negligible. However, even furred animals usually have exposed skin around mouth and nostrils, and sometimes on some other parts of the body.

Many Schipperke breeders started out with Schips as a second breed, usually after having owned a larger breed for some time. Schips seem to have no difficulty in adjusting to life with other dogs, even large ones, or with cats, horses, cows, etc. They seem to feel their superiority of intellect makes them the equal of most any other of God's creatures, and will accept most of them. Moles, mice, ground squirrels and brooms, however, can expect no quarter.

One section of the trail is optimistically marked "Zona de Osos" ("Bear Zone"), but your chances of stumbling across a bear are probably very slight. Making noise as you walk and staying on the trail will reduce them still further. Predatory wildlife on the Inca Trail consists mainly of the local pigs and dogs around Huayllabamba (who will eat anything that you leave outside, including boots, rucksacks and plastic garbage bags) and biting flies, which will eat you.

The injections are virtually painless because there is no needle piercing the skin. The animal, however, will feel the fluid entering during the injection. Any visible reaction by the animal is more commonly a startle response to the sound of the jet. Rarely does the animal display the characteristic flinch experienced with conventional needle injections.

West Nile virus affects horses, mules, donkeys and other equines much more often than other animals. A vaccination for horses is available; horse owners should contact their veterinarian for advice on West Nile Virus. Who is tracking the spread of West Nile Virus?In King County, the Seattle/King County Department of Public Health is working with the Washington State Department of Health to identify and report cases of West Nile virus through the following actions:

Target cattle include those over 30 months of age which exhibit at least one of the following: Downers or non-ambulatory, those able to stand only for brief periods, those with nervous signs, and those condemned, moribund, emaciated and dead cattle. Cattle with nervous signs less than 30 months of age may also be tested. FSIS is now required to test all pre-slaughter condemned cattle.

We have not tested it on animals. Head lice (for whatever reason) only live on humans. They can be carried or transmitted by animals but they cannot live on them for more than a few days. Since this is the case, we have not tried it on animals nor do we recommend it...you can try it at your own risk if you like.
