Kitsara
Overrun with beasties
Well, the goats do pretty much leave the electric fence alone. They really don't like being zapped. That's for sure.
As far as Myotonia, I've managed more research and have found that it can be recessive or dominant. Depending on the mutation. Though the more I read, it seems that goats tend to have the dominant form. Now that my buck has six kids to his name now, I'm thinking he is homozygous for the gene. So far, 5 out of 6 are showing signs. Still waiting on the bottle baby to show signs. Course, he's only 3 1/2 weeks so it could still be early.
