Thank you all for the kind words. The saanen doe has gained very little weight but she has been alot more active. When she first came here she rarely moved now she is rarely lying down, always up grazing or where ever we are. She is such a sweet and friendly girl!
We have weaned the boy since...
Well I ended up getting back a doe I sold a while back. She is a ornery thing. One of her doelings come home with us too :rolleyes: Her name is Maggie and the doeling is Jasmine
And I am getting this little guy next weekend. I had his dad for a long time and he was a wonderful buck so excited...
Thanks! After he told me the people who he got her from were going to shoot her, I could not leave her. :th The guy only bought her so she would not get shot, he raises meat goats and had no use for her. The people told him she was a excellent milker, I just dont understand how people can be so...
All my four legged kids.

My guy doesn't mess with the trees much unlike the goats. He will eat some leaves if they are easy access, but he will not work hard for them. He will scratch him self on the trees but never saw him mess with the bark. The ones I have now and have had do great in the pasture, I do have some...
I have a mini donkey running with my goats and absoultely LOVE him! He is a great pet and great with my other animals! I have to agree with HiddenOaks about one taking on a pack, but they are a great deterant. I can turn mine lose in the yard while I am out and he follows me like a dog. I got...
I have heard alot about goats being potty trained but I personally have never tried it. I had a friend whos goats two wore diapers when they were inside running around.
As far as treats my goats love saltine crackers, bread ands horse treats. I even make them a salad sometimes out of apples...
