So I've always thought that GAS was cute, but it never hit me much, so I'd chuckle when I see a post here and there about it, but never gave it much more thought than that.

Until now.

I was browsing everyone's threads about the newly born babies, people buying more goats, and then thinking about when my goats have their babies...

And BAM!

G.A.S.... really really badly... I started browsing Craigslist, contacting all the breeders I know, looking for purebreds...

So I have babies on the way, and a buckling on reserve... and it's still not enough!!!



I am in BIG trouble!!!





:rolleyes:

Oh dear, and G.A.S is incurable too. No pills, no shots, nuttin. Oh well, at least you have lots and lots of company in your affliction. So, tell us more about these goats. Details, we need details, I tell ya. Ooops, my own G.A.S. flared up there for a sec.

:lol: :thumbsup :weee

LoL!

Well, lets see; I have 4 purebred Nubian does, and *hopefully* all are preggers. I am sending out to biotracking tomorrow to make sure.

I also have an American Nubian who is also preggers.

So 5 goats total, hopefully all 5 pregnant. 3 are due in February, one in April and one in May.

The buckling I have on reserve is from a local breeder from a Jr. GCH doe and a Lakeshore ++B sire.... :rolleyes:

I have G.A.S too, but I'm not allowed to have more than 4. :( Soon. BTW, that buck sounds REALLY nice. Lakeshore!

You aren't so bad, I started out a year and a half ago with 'since we are getting some chickens, lets get a goat to eat down that grass and weeds so the chickens can range easier.' I now have 12 goats. 8 Does and 4 bucks. At least 3 of my does are bred, and 2 out of the three should have twins or trips at least. I could very easily end up by the end of May by doubling my herd of 12 to 24. G.A.S. Yup, it is deadly!

And I doubt that anyone on this site would be a good counsellor any of the rest of us should we decide to seek help for our disease. I think we're all lost. On the bright side, I believe it might be less costly than having a drug addiction. So we should all be money ahead, right? Yeah, right......:idunno
