My Goats

[Cottage Cheese]

Hey all,

I just want to say how unique my doelings baas are. My brown doeling has a deep. rattling baaa; it makes me think of a goats addicted to smoking, and my smaller, white doeling has a baa that sounds like a baby crying, it is a truly heartbreaking call for my attention.

Thats all,

Yep...we've got one that screams really high, one that screams really low, a wether who still sounds like a kid, a boerxnubi who can burst your eardrums, a nubi who goes "mmmaaah" instead of "baaah," and a handful who hardly ever say a word. Each their own little personality, and all different.

Goats are neat, aren't they?

They are, we have had them for about two months now, and they are doing great! They are both twin sisters. They are 6 months old now, and I was wondering, do you think it would be safe to have one of them bred next spring??

I have a doe that sounds like a turkey.

You should wait until they are a year to 18 months to breed them. If they will be a year old then it should be Ok. What kind of goats are they? Some goats are seasonal breeders so you might not be able to breed her until next August. Pygmies can breed year round so you could breed her as soon as she was a year if she was a pygmy. You need to research her breed and see if she is a seasonal breeder.

I have a wether who sounds like a teenage boy who's voice is changing. He starts out low, then it cracks and goes high. Cracks me up every time!

We have pygmies. But I have yet to see her go into heat, is she too young?

 

[lilhill]

If they are six months old, you've just missed their heat cycles. They are plenty old enough to be cycling.

Our brown one has a swollen area, and it is sorta pink [ she has dark skin] does that mean she is in heat?
