PG,

He did ridiculously well. This is not what I thought 4H would be. I just wanted him to learn the responsibility of raising farm animals and possibly build toward working with cattle. I have had friends that work cows in addition to their regular jobs. I thought it would be great for him to work up to having some of his own by the time he was in High School.

This is not 4H in our area. If he is going to have cows we’ll have to learn to raise them ourselves.

4H has some many great facets, but I am not a fan of the “show” scene.

Animals are not raised to be healthy nor is human treatment stressed. It is just about “showing off” and who can spend the most money to get the best head start. That is not my interest.

I thought there would be classes and clinics but not so.

He raised a lot of money. It’s in a fund for college, but that was not my intention. Money does not teach character. Hard work does. Luckily, I can teach that without the help of an organization.

We may do chickens because it is something I can handle on my own (basically a city girl - even though I try not to admit to it), and it is completely fair. Everyone starts with chickens from the same farm bought on the same day. Plus it’s only about a 6 week commitment.

We gave our goats away after the fair but they absolutely loved the weather when it was cool. The first night it was cold, I thought something had scared them but soon realized they were just having fun. It was really neat to watch. It's one of those memories with my son that I hope I never forget. The goats looked like they were playing tag. We didn't raise any this last year. We are considering having chickens for next years project. It will be a horse if the shale ever comes in. He would also like some Highland Cows.

Hi P.G.,
He seems much better today. He is up on his own. For the past two days, he was mainly just up when I would pick him up. I've been hand feeding him hay, commercial feed and sweet gum branches. He has had an appetite the whole time. His bowel movements are normal too. The vet seems to think it could be an infection from the banding problem. The vet didn't think he was going to make it then either. But we babied him through it. He looks so good today. I really think he is going to make it now. I felt like last night was the turning point. I wasn't sure if the fever breaking was a good thing or not. I will try to feed him some plain yoguart today. Last time I tried buttermilk and he wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Hi P.G.,
I don't know if it is good or bad, but his fever seems to have broke.

Hi P.G.

I have a very sick goat and was wondering if you know of anything that I can do that they find particularly comforting. The vet. seems to think we will lose him, and I want him as happy as possible. I've been hand feeding him the past 2 days and giving him sweet gum branches along with coastal hay and alfalfa. He has an infected joint. The vet says he has about a 10% chance of living. Any ideas you can send will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS

P.G.,
He did really well and he gets to keep the goat, which is the most important thing to him right now.

Hi P.G.,

We sheared before we got to the fair and didn't bathe them.

I have seen some of them shivering.

Our guys seem to be doing good.

My son's goat made the sale, so we will have to keep him there until Wednesday.

I still do not understand how the sale works, because we have been told we get to keep him.
