I agree that your problem was probably that the mother has no idea what she is doing with room to move around. I worked on hog confinement farms in college. I worked in the farrowing dept. Previous poster is right that they have little room to move and less room to squish them. She has no idea...
Maybe he did not know your are vegetarian? If he did then, yes that is kind of disrespectful. I also think that people that don't actually raise goats, well, they don't realize how attached we can get to them. To them it isn't any different that thinking that a cow in the field sounds yummy...

Hi all.
I didn't put this in pest because I am fairly sure this is some kind of weed or something my goat is getting into.
She is a Saanen, so white coat. I tied her out near a bunch of brush/fence line stuff to forage. When I came back in a few hours she looked like a Dalmation. Black...
