Can anyone point me to a guide which shows the dos and don'ts of breeding within a flock. We started with 3 goats last year and are now up to 12. Up until now, there is no inbreeding. But now we have half brothers and sisters except for one buck.
I want to find out if a buck with the same...
Kinda of both. He won't bend it back. It seems floppy when I try bending it.
He is "hoping" on it when he walks. Now, this is only on his hoof part. The rest of the upper legs, I can feel the muscles and tendons tense. I felt all around the "ankle" if you will, and he didn't exhibit any...
Good morning everyone,
Anyone ever see this. New baby goat, about 3 weeks old. All was fine, yesterday I noticed he was limping/hoping. I grabbed him and noticed when I bend one of his back legs towards the foot, it doesn't seem to have any life in it.
Was there something I should've have...
Thank You !!
We bought 3 (1 buck, 2 does) about 2 months ago. The does were pregnant. We thought the other (light brown) was delivering first, but it turned out to be this one.
We moved to a small farm in Bealeton, VA in August of 2016. We are at 40 some chickens, 3 turkeys and 4 goats...
