Poor feller.. Please keep the photos rolling as it heals, very interesting.

x2 :D

Oh, you can do it! It's not hard, and no time like the present to get in there and try. I'd milk whatever is in there out. She dried off abnormally, and probably had some mastitis while she did that was left untreated. You never know about sneaky nursing, though! Like I said, milk it down...

Little I know about meat goat production...I'd pick #2 - he looks more meat goat than dairy already!

:celebrate How exciting! Congrats!

Elevan has a good thread on feeding HERE

:barnie Yep. To give you some idea...AGS to ADGA reregistrations. Last year, and for many years before, all you needed was a $1 transfer record from AGS to reregister into ADGA. This year, AGS is charging FIVE DOLLARS PER GOAT for the same record. :somad Luckily, ADGA hasn't hiked the rate...
