Hey ! Finally got some rain . Have a happy day farmers !

Maama Candace is doing very well. 12 days after surgery. Her body score has improved and her feeding and water intake are excellent ! We are happy to share here a few hard and fast rules about handling dystocia. 1. When an ewe or doe has shown no progress during 30 to 40 minutes of full labour, examine her to determine whether the kid is positioned correctly. 2. Never try to force the cervix open. This often leads to hemorrhage, shock, trauma and infection. 3. Never try to remove a lamb or kid that is in an abnormal position. First correct the position. Avoid excessive force. It may result in shock, hemorrhage, trauma, infection, fertility problems or prolapse of the uterus. 4. After removal of the lamb or kid by assistance through the birth canal or C section place her in an isolated recovery area and keep her warm with blanket wraps. 5. Give her fresh water and feed. It could take a while before she gets back on her feet. Tempt her to drink more by adding molasses to the water. 6. Take her temperature several times a day over the next few weeks but most especially for the first few days. She will run an abnormal body temperature when battling an infection and will need treatment. 7. BOTH LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE LIFE THREATENING AND CALL FOR VETERINARIAN ATTENTION. Normal temperature should lie between 38.5 and 38.7 degrees Celsius. 8.Call your Veterinarian if she fails to urinate for 2 days after surgery or if the urine is very brown or pulse like. 9. Keep an eye on the incision and report to your veterinarian any oozing of pus or serum. Also let him know if you observe any popped stitches. 10. Call your Veterinarian to remove all stitches after 14 days. Ntojo Happy Goats wishes you happy farming days !

Wishing you a happy and successful week. Busy clearing unwanted plants. Goats are amazing Bush clearers. They help us clear over grown bush. Herbicides can kill good plants and machines can damage the land. We are happy working with our happy goats to clear the land without disturbing the soil or leaving synthetic chemicals. Wishing all our farmer friends a happy farming day.

Tick control( a farmer's menace ) starts with clean cattle ! We use a plunge dip once a week. A bath designed to immerse our cattle in liquid pesticide. Dipping destroys parasites which infest their skin. The only effective way to control scab, ticks, lice, blowfly and kids with one product.

Hello !

Good Day Wishing you a Happy Week. From Ntojo Happy Goats.

It has been very good time for our happy goats.

All goats need a continous supply of fresh water at all times. We provide fresh drinking water in the fields as well as at home in clean troughs.

Take a look !
