Adding one goat in with two sheep?

[cloverandmarigold]

Hello! I currently have two pet katahdin ewes who were born in February. There is a 13 week old doe goat for sale and I was wondering if they would bond if I got her? The sheep are easygoing, curious and friendly and I've had goats before that have bonded with other species (my childhood goat preferred horses over goats!). I'm thinking that since they're all young they would get along well, but since I've never kept sheep and goats together before I wanted a second opinion.

Make sure she is disbudded before running her in with hornless Katahdins. Otherwise, probably ok. Make sure your fences are good.

Thanks for the response! She's naturally polled so that's not an issue. We have sheep and goat fencing and the same stuff keeps my parents' goats in so should be good there!

Feed wise...goats need more copper than most sheep tolerate on regular basis. So you may need to bolus the goat, occasionally. With same thoughts, be careful of loose minerals you use.

We'll put the goat in a separate stall from the sheep so they'll get separate minerals then. Thanks!
