    Hi I am new farmer I started farming with goats this year only, which is February 2024.I am farming in Namibia. I bought few goats from individuals mostly of my goats are Boergoats, I bought one Kalahari red ewe which when I bought it she was already pregnant. To my disappointment she gave birth to the twins, however soon I received a call from my workers that the mothers seems her teets have no holes on them hence unable to feed her kids.I drove the day followed and bought lamlack in Agra shop.However the family kid died only after twodays of birth.My question is what causes ewes not to have holes? The mother had so much milk looking at her udder however no milk was coming out.Now the remaining kid is doing very well as he is being bottle fed with lamlack.I grew up raising goats in communal areas.However this is my first time seeing this type of a situation. Experience farmers I consulted told it is a situation do occur in goats but once it happens, it cannot be turned around.

      Good day farmer, it will be hard to find free training unless you check with your Ministry of Agriculture if they don't have such pieces of training or even material that you can read on your own. What I can offer myself is to share my experiences of what I know and we can continue to learn together. All the best farmer

    Thank you Farmers Weekly and the speakers for an informative and interesting webinar about such an important topic. Soil health is life, I have seen so much damage done to soils through bad agricultural practices in my region, and the destruction of healthy ecosystems which look like they will never recover. And very interesting talk about Nematodes, have heard so much about them and how bad they are for crops but now have a much better understanding of their function and importance in soils. Inspired now more than ever to farm with nature.
