    Training a puppy to not chase the goats?

    Goat Transport Pen for Pickup Truck

    We made a wood box out of scrap 2x4's as a frame and attached a pallet to the top (measure you pallet first to see how big your box needs to be). It does really help to have a rubber mat in the back of the truck and a tarp just in case of a downpour.

    Would nubians work for me?

    We have 2 Nubians and I actually love how vocal they are - especially when they see people. They holler LOUDLY then come running. Super friendly! However, my Alpine/LaMancha has the biggest mouth of all.

    Does my goat look pregnant??

    I don't think she is bred. She doesn't look "ripe" enough to be that far along, even if she was carrying just a single. But, she may surprise us.

    Buckling has abnormal horn after disbudding-Advice needed please!

    Does he have a hole in his skull now or is it flush with is head? I think that would make me pass out if he had a hole. I've seen pictures of that before.

    Most, but not all does, will keep their bottoms clean. I did have one doe that tried to keep one of her kid's bottoms cleaned up, but every time she would try, he would tuck his tail under.
