Just got some skinny goats

[Latestarter]

Oh yes... some goats love the water, as long as THEY make the choice... Otherwise, and for the most part, they are deathly afraid of it and they seldom pay close attention, so when the first raindrop hits them and they begin to melt, they sometimes scream their little heads off while running for cover. Kinda funny really. Don't worry, She'll get over it, I'm sure she's playing for affect and has had melting episodes before. A few treats and you'll be back in her good graces

Congrats on the doe
Looks like you may end up with like 3 then 5 . That is what happend to us anyway.

She is super cute

@babsbag I was talking about the picture of the goats that @JenniferDuBay posted.

Yes goats are either the wicked witch or sugar...either way they melt in the rain.

@TAH, the cashmere goats I have seen look like shaggy sheep dogs, but I supposed that the ones in the pictures could have been sheared. IDK

Not sure if it still is or if formulation has changed but Red Cell contained Bovine liver products.

They must have cause now it says "Contain no beef product ingredients" right on the container and i called them and they said no ruminate proteins are in red cell currently.

Nope, still not in stock. Just checked again. You got me all excited though- I was really hoping they had it! I've been looking constantly. Thankfully we have the toltrazuirl, but I've been looking for others.

@JenniferDuBay
We own a scope and run our own fecals, using the McMasters method.

We run a several fecals a few weeks apart on any new goats we bring in. We want to catch any parasite bloom before we have a sick or dead goat.

We run a fecal before breeding does and after kidding. Kidding generally causes a parasite bloom.

We run a fecals on kids periodically on kids to check for parasites and cocci.

We run fecals whenever we suspect a problem. We know our goats pretty well and can usually tell if they are starting to get wormy.

If we know a hoat in particular is having problems of any kind we check the fecal.

More later

Tut, tut. @JenniferDuBay - Of course it is your fault your goats have been mauled by raindrops! You must beg forgiveness and give multiple treats. They may have suffered irreparable damage, and can only be consoled with the yummiest treats, affection and groveling. I feel I should refer you to Immutable Goat Fact #1 - Goats melt. You must never allow goats to be rained upon.

This fact is SO important to the goats that it is repeated periodically throughout the IGF list. Yes, yes, you are a naughty human. Please, pay your penance and your Goatie overlords will forgive you. (They are very generous with us, the weak humans who serve them.)

What's funny is that I put a kiddie pool in their enclosure yesterday, and the kids were sleeping in it when I got back with myrtle. Rain is awful! Goats melt! Except... if it's hot. Then goats melt in other ways? LOL

They like water, but ONLY if it is their choice!
