hopefully your planning on keeping them, the doeling can help mom out in the pasture by her talking, I think this is totally amazing, and what a wonderful gift you have been given.

I am blown away by this doe! She is quickly climbing the list of my favorite does ever! I put her on the milk stand this morning and she acted like it was no big deal. She let me do what I needed to clean her up again and milk her out. I have never had a first freshener that was this easy. Usually I have to work with them for a couple weeks before they do this well. I had no intention of breeding her because I thought this all would have been to much for her to handle being blind.
This has been a good experience to help me remember that I am not really in charge, I only manage the herd (apparently not as well as I thought either). Things seem to have a way of working out.

Being blind I would assume she has more trust and faith in you than goats who can see.

Congrats by the way!

Wow, those are some beautiful kids! I don't have any blind goats, but I have a blind house cat. Just keep things on a regular schedule, don't move furniture (or anything around in the stall in this case) and she will be fine! Blind pets or livestock are really adaptable to their environment if you just give them a chance. Congrats!
