If you can get your pasture set up, you should do it! (All y'all should, actually :plbb)

If you do, look for bottle raised goats. Dam raised kids can be very friendly, we have some that are. But NOTHING beats a bottle raised lamancha! They are so sweet and very calm, they trust their people but are never "annoying" like a lot of BB's can be or are...
They go wherever you need them to go, because once again their trust is their humans- but they still know how to be a goat.

Y'all might remember back when Jane busted her scur (here-

Well this goat, even with all the stress and pain she was going through, walked right with me & into the vet clinic. Didn't have to drag her, didn't have to carry her.
I know for sure, NONE of our other goats would act like this. Heck, I sometimes still have to carry my full grown NDs around because they won't walk :eek:

They are really awesome goats! :love

That must have been the most horrible experience @Southern by choice !!!

ETA - OOPS, sorry GW! Since SBC posted the graphics, I had her in mind when I posted and tagged her. Horrible for BOTH of you. Probably the rest of the family, the vet, the vet's staff too.

It was pretty nasty...

Of course that's another one of those things where they love to injure themselves while SBC is gone.
Dang goats. :rolleyes:

Poor girl, her nerves were exposed and you could tell it HURT.
She handled it like a champ though!
