From the Editor

Welcome to the October 2016 edition of the WA Goatkeeper. No doubt many of you are very busy with lots of lovely new kids and does to milk.

The WA show season officially began with Northam Show in September. This years Perth Royal Show saw record numbers of entries and fierce competition (particularly in the Saanen classes). Judge—Shelley Johnston (Tasmania) stated the qual-ity of Saanens exhibited, overall presentation and exhibitors conduct was amongst the best she had seen anywhere in Aus-tralia. A real credit to our members and exhibitors.

Congratulations also to all those that attended our recent WA Branch Show held at Kelmscott on 15 October. Despite the initial inclement weather it was a great day. Watch for full list of results and photos in the December edition.

I have been very touched by the lovely feedback I have received from goat enthusiasts all over Australia regarding the recent WA Goatkeeper editions. Please feel free to email on this publication as the hope is it will help promote both the DGSWA and goat keeping in general. I also thank those members who have submitted photos and articles for inclusion. Your support is much appreciated and encouraged.

Hoping you enjoy this edition. See you all again in December.

From the President

By now most members kidding programme should be finished, ours is nearly there with over 25 kids in the shed. the show season is now well underway . It was very good to be able to get over to the Royal Dairy Goat Section and speak with members and Judge and Stewards. I must congratulate Keren Muthsan on doing a very good job as Chief Steward and to all the exhibi-tors on a exemplary turnout of goats and display area.

We also now have one of our Judging School partici-pants in Michelle Fleming who has now completed her cadet judging requirements and hopefully soon will be able to take on some judging appointments. Michelle was a member around 25yrs ago breeding British Alpines in Keysbrook. If all goes well we should have the other cadet ready to judge your entries soon.

We are progressing well with our arrangements for 2017 Federal Council meeting in May . If you feel you are able to help in any way please let one of our committee members Know. Happy Goat Keeping. Dave Robinson

WADGS Branch President. WA DAIRY GOATS ON TV Western Australian dairy goats exhibited at the 2016 Perth Royal Show proved very popular with TV broad-casters. Live feeds from the show grounds featured DGSWA members goats on at least three occasions including Nyongee’s Toggenburg kids in the Animal nursery, a very interactive group of Kalama Saanen kids and the lovely Kelshara Anglo Nubian doe (pictured right with Channel 10 weather reporter)..

How to Make Goats Milk Ice Cream

Goat milk makes ice cream even more special with its delicious rich taste and ex-tra nutrition This is a basic recipe that you can add any of your favourite flavours or fruit to. It uses whole goat's milk, so there is no need to separate the cream from the milk. You can substitute honey or other sweetener for the sugar. Ingredients:

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup goat milk

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten

2 cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

Process:

1. In a saucepan, whisk the sugar, salt, and goat milk together.

2. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it just begins to bubble.

3. Beat egg yolks in a bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the egg yolks and whisk, then pour this mixture back into the pan.

4. Heat, stirring constantly, over low-medium heat until mixture thickens and be-gins to stick to the back of your spoon.

5. Chill completely (about 3 hours).

6. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla.

7. Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions

8. Desert is served. Enjoy and Bon appetite!

Note you can make your own flavours by adding different flavourings, fruit, nuts, melted chocolate, etc .

WA Has 5 New Cadet Dairy Goat Judges

On the 3rd of September DGSWA conducted a Judges Practical Examination. Conducted at Ca-prino Farm in Herne Hill, this is one of the prerequisites a person must successfully complete in order to become a qualified Dairy Goat Judge in Australia. Participants had previously under-taken assignments, attended a Seminar and sat a theory examination. I am delighted to advise five individuals successfully passed the practical examinations and now only have a cadet (under-judging) component left to complete. The new Cadet Dairy Goat Judges are Michele Fleming, Keren Muthsam, Sharyn Dauti, John Martin and Robyne Coe.

The Judges Training Scheme is a National Scheme and outlined in the DGSA Regulations. The training was over-seen by three Australian Panel Judges (highest level currently available) being Trevor Blight, Geoff Blinco and Dave Robinson. Between these judges they have over 100 years dairy goat judging experience. The DGSWA should be very grateful to these and other volunteers who assisted with the course, especially Geoff Blinco who delayed his retirement from goat judging specifically to assist with this course.

Other kind volunteers included Dianne and Petrina Porter, Liz Robinson, Rebecca Dauti and Gerry Coe. Special thanks should also go to John and Miriam Martin and Gerry and Robyne Coe who also kindly hosted different training activities.

It was almost 19 years since the last training course was conducted. Hopefully, with sufficient interest, courses can be conducted more frequently in future. Congratulations to all involved on a very successful outcome.

Anglo Nubian Breed History

The Nubian or Anglo-Nubian, is a man made breed. The name "Nubian" originated in France. Whilst the French started working on the Nubian type animals before the English, the British are given credit for the development of the present day Nubian.

The Nubian was created crossing the common English goat with "exotic" bucks from Africa and India. The name Nubian is associated with the long, droopy ears and convex nose of this type of animal. It has nothing to do with the location of where the animals was imported from.

The Anglo Nubian was developed in Great Britain using Middle Eastern and Indian stock, firstly with existing native goats and later by crossing with the imported Swiss breeds. The Middle Eastern breeds were Nubians from Egypt and Zariby from Eritrea, while the Indian breeds were the Jumna Pari and Chitral. These exotic breeds were of differing build and appearance, but all distinctly different to the British goats with the crossbred offspring showing distinct 'Nubian' characteristics.

The Anglo Nubian was well established in Britain prior to the introduction of the Swiss breeds, with goats appearing at the first goat show in 1875. They had either mottled or solid coats and a distinctive arched head with long pendulous ears.

By 1896 the Anglo-Nubian was recognized as a breed with only four imported goats, all males, being recognized, two from India. The description of these goats, according to the British Goat Society Herd Book, are as follows:

No.1. Sedgemere Chancellor. Nubian (Jumna Pari) Horned. Imported 1896.

No. 2. Sedgemere Sangar.Nubian (Waraiby or Zaraibi) Horned. Imported 1904.

No. 3. Bricket Cross. Nubian (Chitral) Horned. Im-ported 1904.

No. 4. Bricket Zoo. Nubian Hornless. Imported 1904 from Paris Zoo.

Importations until 1904 ensured that the breed's 'Nubian' character was maintained and in 1910 a separate Anglo-Nubian section was set up in the British Herd Book. The initial entry was limited to animals that were descended from at least one of Chancellor, Sanger or Cross and had no other foreign blood on the dams side for six genera-tions. The two bucks imported from India, Sedgemere Chancellor and Bricket Cross, had the most influence in the development of the breed. The British Herd Book re-cords no less than 72 progeny of Bricket Cross and 29 of Sedgemere Chancellor. The other two were less used and less successful. Chancellor sired the first recognized An-glo-Nubian star milker, Sedgemere Louise.

The Jumna Pari was bred for meat and milk in India, was tall, rangy, slender and was normally horned. The Zaraibi or Saraiby from Africa was also tall and rangy, but was deeper bodied and usually very undershot. The coat was short and sleek except on the thighs and was any colour or combination of colours and was normally polled. The Chi-tral, also from India, was thicker or heavier boned. The breeds in each case, had been specially selected and were kept for milk production in their respective countries where they were considered outstanding.

In 1933 a rule against horned animals was adopted and was a hardship on the breed. Many great animals were discriminated against for being horned and were not used.

Only ten of the breed were imported into Australia in 1954 and all Anglo Nubians are descended from these imports. Cross-breeding helped to establish the breed. They have been ex-ported to most countries from England. In the United States and Canada, they are referred to as simply Nubians.

The Anglo Nubian is regarded as having a higher butterfat percentage and better fleshing qualities than the Swiss breeds. Having been bred from hot climate goats, the breed is well suited to Australian conditions.

Mrs M Fleming of Welshpool intro-duced the first Anglo Nubians into WA in 1961 by the purchase of the Greenfields Puck (pictured right).

HOW TO TRIM THE HOOVES OF SHEEP AND GOATS Reference DGSA Victoria Branch Inc. Newsletter - Summer 2016 1. WHY TRIM HOOVES?

The hooves of sheep and goats grow and, if not trimmed, can cause problems to the animal. Overgrown hooves make walking difficult and predispose the animal to other foot problems such as foot rot; especially if animals are in damp, muddy environments. Bad hooves make walking painful and competing for feed difficult. This may cause sheep and goats to go off feed and stop exercising. Animals with overgrown hooves are also very susceptible to joint/tendon problems, and arthritis. Permanent damage can result if the foot is left neglected for extended periods of time. Breeding bucks/rams place great stress on their hind legs and feet during mounting. If they are in pain from bad feet, they will refuse to mate thus reducing repro-ductive rates in a flock. Thus, hoof trimming is an essential part of sheep and goat manage-ment. 2. FREQUENCY OF TRIMMING

How often to trim will depend on the level of hoof growth which in turn is affected by the fol-lowing specific conditions:

Breed (e.g., Boer goats seem to require much attention to their hooves even in dry and rocky areas); Environment: Wet climates and farmland conditions greatly increase the need for hoof trim-ming while animals grazed on rocky, dry soil require trimming less frequent-ly. Animals that have access to hard surfaces will naturally wear down the hoof and require less frequent trim-mings. The need for hoof trimming is, therefore, more important in animals intensively man-aged in pens, walking on grass, or that do not extensively move around on rough surfaces. Some small ruminant owners feed their animals on a roughened concrete surface to help the hooves wear down naturally.

Diet: Hooves of animals that are fed a high energy and protein diet tend to grow more rapidly.

Trimming should generally be done about every two months depending on growth rate. A minimum of 2 to 3 trimmings a year is essential for animals under intensive or semi-intensive management despite their diet or environment. An important point to note is that the job of hoof trimming becomes more difficult the longer hooves are allowed to grow. Care should be taken to avoid trimming feet of ewes/does during late gestation since this may cause injury. 3. HOOF TRIMMING TOOLS

Trimming the hooves of a large number of sheep/goats can be stressful. Under such circum-stances, appropri-ate trimming tools are essential to do the job properly and easily. Any type of tool can be used as long as it gets the job done. A sharp knife can be used for hoof trimming, but requires harder work than using hoof trim-mers meant for the job. Using a knife is also more dan-gerous for both the animal and operator.

Hoof trimming tools come in many shapes and designs. There are manual trimmers like those shown above. These are generally not expensive and make the task much easier. Air compressor driven shears are an op-tion if a very large number of sheep/goats are to be trimmed.

4. STEPS IN TRIMMING HOOVES OF GOATS

Step 1. The first step in hoof trimming is to properly restrain the animal. The following procedures are recommended methods of restraint for the purpose of hoof trimming.

Goats: Goats can be trimmed while in a standing position. Hoof trimming is best done in a squeeze chute or by position-ing or tying the animal next to a wall or fence and trim the hooves. This method of restraining goats allows the person doing the trimming to stand to the side of the animal and gen-tly push it up against the fence/wall for extra control as needed. The person faces the animal’s tail, leans down and picks up the front leg at the pastern so that the knee bends in a natural manner revealing the bottom of the hoof .It is important not to twist the leg way out to the side. This will force the animal off balance causing it to struggle in an at-tempt to stand more securely. For trimming the back hooves, the hind legs should normally be brought back straight be-hind the goat .

Step 2. After the animal is properly restrained, observe the colour and check the smell of the hoof. A rotten smell is usu-ally indicative of foot rot and appropriate treatment should be given. The next thing to do is to clean any mud, manure, small stones, etc., from between the walls of the hoof.

Step 3. Dry conditions can make hooves difficult to trim. The best time to trim hooves is immediately after rain or heavy dew, because the hoof wall will be much softer and easier to trim. Alternatively, animals can be allowed to stand in a wet area for 2 to 3 hours before trimming. The ends of the dewclaws can be the starting place for trimming (see Image 2 above right). The tips of the dewclaws should be removed. It is important to re-move small bits at frequent intervals to avoid bleeding as a re-sult of cutting too short.

Step 4. It is always advisable to begin by removing very small pieces of hoof wall and toe. The toe and outside hoof wall are trimmed down to where fresh sole can be seen (stop when the sole looks pink) and the bottom of the foot is parallel to the line where the hair stops known as the coronary band (see top line marked in Image 2). This can be checked by letting the foot being trimmed down and checking the balance on the foot. This will help reduce the chances of over-trimming and enter-ing the sensitive structures of the foot. Excessive trimming can lead to excessive bleeding, pain, infections and lameness.

Step 5: The inside wall of the foot should normally be trimmed a little bit lower than the outside. This allows most of the ani-mal’s weight to be on the outside hoof wall where it should be placed naturally. The heel region can also be trimmed when needed. A plane or wood rasp can be used to help even up the surfaces and remove any dead sole. Once the entire trimming operation is completed, the animal should be released and ex-amined for proper balance while the foot is bearing the weight of the animal. Corrective steps may be taken if problems of in-appropriate trimming are observed.

Article provided by Keren Muthsam

This year I was approached by someone asking if they could borrow my goat to put in a boat. Goat in a boat? It was all part of GISHWHES 2016.

GISHWHES stands for the Great-est International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen. Teams of people all around the world have one week to complete as many of the tasks on the list as possible, which range from com-munity-based tasks like "perform a puppet show at a childrens hospital" to the ridiculous and hi-larious "get a stormtrooper to clean your pool while you sip a cocktail" and even the almost im-possible "get the word gishwhes wri t ten on something in space" (someone actually man-aged to do that). Photos are taken to record the task being completed, and submitted to the judges.

GISHWHES is all about creating art, pushing boundaries, perpetrating acts of kind-ness and, ultimately, redefining our perception of "the possible.” Participants have collectively broken 5 Guinness world records, committed over 93,000 random acts of kindness and fed thousands of the homeless.

Item #56 was Green Eggs and Ham - I do not like them in a boat, I do not like them with a goat! Take a photo of yourself enjoying green eggs and ham in a boat with a goat. My young Anglo Nubian doe Rilka was happy to help out. It was a hilarious, ridiculous activity and heaps of fun.

Tips for ensuring biosecurity at shows (by K.Muthsam)

Shows can be a high risk event for the transmission of illness between goats from different flocks and also from goats to humans (zoonotic diseases). This is because a large number of animals are housed together in very close quarters, increasing the opportunity for disease to spread.

Here are some tips to reduce the chance that your goats will contract an illness from other goats at the show, or spread something to another goat or a person:

1. Use feed and water containers that hang on the fence, and hay bags. Avoid let-ting your animals eat off the floor or from their bedding. Many livestock diseases transmit via the faecal-oral route, meaning the animal is eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated by faecal material. This could be as simple as in-testinal worms or as serious as Johnes Disease. By keeping feed and water contain-ers high up, it reduces the likelihood of them being contaminated. Try to keep your spare buckets of feed and water away from public areas, and do not let your goats eat/drink out of other people’s equipment. Avoid sharing feed/water buckets.

2. Use good milk hygiene. Make sure your milking buckets have tightly fitting lids and that these lids are in place as soon as milking is finished. Keep these buckets away from public areas and where goats are stalled, so as not to allow any kids/adult does to drink it. Do not use milk from other herds to feed your kids – if you are short, bring some from home. Avoid sharing milking stands and milk buckets, and if you are help-ing an exhibitor milk their goats, make sure to wash your hands before handling your own goats again. If your doe is prone to leaking milk in the show ring, sometimes ap-plying pressure over the orifice for a few seconds will stop this, if not she may need to have a little milked out. Good milk hygiene reduces the risk of transmitting both CAE and mastitis.

3. Keep public areas free of manure. Ensure manure is cleaned promptly from public areas such as the show ring and marshalling area. While your goats are in this area, do not let them graze the grass, or eat from anyone else’s pens or feed buckets.

Page 15: The W.A. Goatkeeper

4. Ensure only healthy animals come to the show. Make sure you comply with the CAE testing status of each show. Check your goats for lice and footrot prior to travelling and treat if necessary. Leave scouring kids at home. If an animal is found to be ill upon arrival, try to pen them separately to other goats. Supportive therapy such as probiotics, B complex and elec-trolytes can be useful to give prior to transport to reduce stress. Try not to take very young kids (<4 weeks) to multi-day shows such as the Royal, to avoid infectious scouring and/or pneumonia.

5. Keep separation between different flocks of animals. Ask stewards if possible to keep an empty pen between different exhibitors’ goats.

6. Quarantine animals when they return home from shows. Keep the show team separate from the rest of the flock for several weeks, monitor them closely for any signs of illness. This will prevent any problems spreading to the rest of the herd.

7. Remind the general public to wash their hands after patting the ani-mals. This helps prevent zoonotic diseases (transmissible to humans).

A Bit More Goat Trivia

Genetic tests indicate that all domestic goats are descended from the wild Bezoar Ibex (pictured right) of Anatolian Zagros, a part of the Middle East.

While calling a group of goats a “herd” is ac-ceptable, the more proper names for a group of goats is a tribe or trip.

Goats curious nature may be the root of a leg-endary story about goats and coffee. An apoc-ryphal story on the discovery of coffee goes like this: Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder, started chewing coffee beans after his goats started dancing when they ate the beans.

PERTH ROYAL SHOW 2016 Judge’s Report by Shelley Johnson (TAS)

It was a privilege to judge the 2016 Perth Royal Show. The animals were in first class condition and did their owners proud as they certainly showcased the best possible image of dairy goats to the general public .

It was obvious that the exhibitors were genuine dairy goat breeders and not just goat keepers. They have sought out the genetics they need to improve their stock, albeit in their own back yard or further afield. This has been boosted by persever-ance and good management. Their initiatives and endeavours are commendable.

The success of their breeding programmes was very noticeable as each age group was presented. The quality of the Saanens exhibited was of a high standard and indeed encouraging. The 10 year old veteran doe winner embodies our goals in breeding; does capable of long and productive lives. While placing the more mature animals was a challenge, the task became more testing with the 1st lactation does; even more tricky with the well grown goatlings and very testing with the younger stock. Pinpointing this consistency was the one point that separated first place and third placed does in the 1st lactation Udder Class.

Supreme Champion Dairy Doe was awarded to the winner of Class 4, Saanen Doe in Milk, 3-6 years. This doe was a beautiful example of the breed, well blended with good conformation and also took out Best Udder Over-all. It was rewarding to see this doe compliment her success by coming 2nd in the on ground T & P 24 hour Milk Test Class and also 2nd in the Herd Recording Class. She was closely challenged by the winner of Class 9, Saanen Doe in Milk, under 3 years, who was also very impressive with a beautiful udder. This doe also did ex-ceptionally well as a 1st lactation doe to be placed 4th in the on ground T & P 24 hour Milk Test Class. It was heartening to see good type supported by production with almost all does participating in the on ground T & P 24 hour Milk Test Class.

Representatives of the other breeds were fewer in number. Unfortunately due to the timing of this show, the Senior Anglo Nubian does had not yet kidded this season. However I was impressed with the large body and good head on the winning doe. The Toggenburg doe also had not yet kidded but was carrying a lot of milk in her udder. The British Alpine doe winner was more stylish but her competitor surpassed her in udder attach-ment..

In the Junior Classes, it was pleasing to see the new genetics making their presence felt. The Champion Saanen goatling was home grown, maturing well and very correct. She went on to take out Junior Champion All Breeds. The runners up to her in the Saanen Goatling Class were products of the imported American semen and presented well. The Anglo Nubian goatlings displayed attractive heads and paraded with elegance and style. The winner and runner up were both very exotic, with the high stepping action and arrogance of the breed. In the 6-12 months Class I was excited to see the results of the American genetic infusion into the Anglo-Nubian breed. The two youngsters were superb. Both doe kids were well grown and very correct with the winner show-ing remarkable depth for her age and seriously challenging the winner of the Junior Champion All Breeds.

The Saanen Doe Kid Classes were well supported and appeared at first glance to be overrun by groups of clones. After much deliberation my final Supreme Exhibit award went to a very young Saanen doe kid who was strongly pursued by a very stylish British Alpine doe kid. The British Alpine buck kid also took my eye with his presence and snatched Best Buck Kid from the Saanen buck kid.

A fitting culmination to a well run, professional show was the final class for Child Handler, where a very well groomed young showman dressed in his black suit lead out his favourite goat with aplomb. This was followed by presentations and a barbecue that was enjoyed by all. It was good to be able to chat with you all after the show.

I thank the exhibitors for their professional approach and exemplary presentation of themselves and their ani-mals. I also thank the stewards, particularly Keren Muthsam, who did an amazing job and operated under very difficult conditions to keep me in the loop. Her offsiders were also so ready to help everyone involved and should be commended. The attention to detail and care by the RASWA was exceptional and I sincerely thank them. Unfortunately the only thing out of control was the weather and my jetlag but these did not detract from the immense enjoyment I experienced during this notable occasion.

Starting young (submitted by Marj & Russell Wiltshire)

In July we were very lucky to go on an 8 day cruise to Broome and back, which we enjoyed immensely and something we have never done before. The drama of trying to be away from home for that length of time with numerous goats and other pets as you all know is rather difficult. We were ever so grateful to our daughter Debbie and grandchildren Olivia, Harrison and Alexander for filling this busy role for us. As you can see from the photos the 2 boys have followed in Nan’s footsteps and are well on their way to be champion “pooper scoopers” in the future. We sincerely thank them all so much and now know who to call next time!

The Curse of the Billy Goat - “Never disrespect a Toggenburg!” On October 6, 1945, Billy Sianis and his pet billy goat were ejected from Chicago’s Wrigley Field during Game 4 of the 1945 World Series thereby (allegedly) cursing the Chi-cago Cubs for at least the next sixty years!

The story goes as follows: a Greek immigrant to the United States named William Sianis founded a still in existence chain of taverns called The Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago, Illinois in 1934. A fan of his city’s baseball team, the Cubs, bought two tickets for a ball game taking place on October 6, 1945 worth $7.20. While one of the tickets was for him, the other one was for his goat. Although he was apparently allowed to parade along with the goat on the baseball field before the game started, with the goat wearing a sign stating, “we Got Detroit’s Goat,” during the actual game, Sianis and his goat were asked to leave due to the goat’s odour bothering other fans. The enraged Greek lashed out at the Cubs for this insult by declaring, “them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more,” and purportedly even sending a telegram directly to the team’s owner threatening, “you are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because you insulted my goat.”

Whether the curse is the cause or not of the team’s subsequent struggles, the reality re-mains that the Cubs have neither won a World Series nor even a National League pennant since Sianis’s declarations over fifty years ago!

1930s Goat Pageant

Apparently there used to be e n o u g h u r b a n g o a t -ownership in New York that the city could sustain an an-nual goat beauty pageant.

In the post-Prohibition 1930s, the Brewers Board of Trade sought beautiful billy goats to adorn their advertising post-ers, and the majority of the competitors lived in Manhat-tan.
