    I just asked a question. I don't understand this? I am not calling you a liar. But yes, there were extensive conversations about Mel. I do not understand the harsh replies in this post. o_O

    I sent you a PM. Trying to address this as adults here. :) I did not even read your post until now. And yes, there were verbal agreements. I know of extensive phone calls and the interview process.

    Buying Goats...Bowlegs?

    It could be deficiency, or a structural issue. Don't get the goat! You need good feet and legs for a functional goat. Even if the legs are "just" turned out, if it "jumped out" at you, stay away.

    :woot Exciting! I’m glad you were able to see them in person before putting a deposit down. Especially with milking does. There is no “perfect” goat but finding one that fits your needs/wants is so important. I see some does appraise 92 EEEE but have the worst hand milking teats. That score...

    I don't think she's tilted :) Looks like a sweet doe! You really should get her done NOA. Our first lamancha was unregistered, her whole rear end is a complete train wreck!!! But we use good bucks over her and her daughters are wonderful! I had initially underestimated RG's, but as we went...

    If you stand in front of her, do you see her chest pad?

    She doesn’t look tilted to me. She looks like she’s “slouching”. If she was holding her head alert I think it’d be level. Is she taller at her hips than her withers? A tilted chest floor would be “tilted” in the opposite direction.

    @Senile_Texas_Aggie the way I understand it is that if you are directly in front of the goat, and can easily see the pad formed then the chest is tilted- the chest floor is “sloped”. @rachels.haven I’m super excited for you. Looks like some nice does! Definitely get your doe NOAd, so worth...

    I'd take a look. The one doe (fallen angel ) is already a CH and has a good appraisal, don't like the tilted chest floor but she may be worth it anyway. I'd take a look and see if it's really tilted- ask who appraised her. She looks like a small doe, but appears that she has a great back and...

I scoop her up and take her out of the field (this are has 20 bottle babies, impossible to take a good...

    Major bloat and possible goiter?

    I am so so sorry :( I would open her up, to see what you can find. But it can be tough when it was your own animal though.
